Mid-Nineteenth-Century Female Emigration to Australia ‘A Mad Proceeding’: Mid-Nineteenth-Century Female Emigration to Australia Brooke Weber Royal Holloway, University of London This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) History July 2018 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Brooke Weber, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented within is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Brooke Weber Date: 12 March 2018 2 ‘A Mad Proceeding’: Mid-Nineteenth-Century Female Emigration to Australia This thesis explores the experiences of female emigrants from Britain to Australia in the mid-nineteenth century, a transitionary era in which penal transportation faded, gold rushes boomed, and settler colonialism fostered a new society. This society flourished in six varied, yet wholly British, settler colonies; the presence of Indigenous populations was largely ignored by emigration advocates and emigrants alike. Despite the lack of an explicit discussion about race, a study of these women is rich in themes from gender and sexuality to class and social mobility, presented within a transnational context of migration. This thesis situates female emigration in a new imperial history framework, reading against the archival grain of traditional sources such as emigration society and Colonial Office records to illustrate the emigration process while also acknowledging women’s individuality and agency as they left behind homes and families, navigated the moral concerns of ships and immigration depots, and built new lives and societies in the Australian settler colonies. The thesis also turns to non-archival sources such as women’s fictional writings to address women’s personal experiences and find their voices in an era and situation largely dominated and directed by men. Starting with emigration society and Colonial Office archives, this thesis challenges the generalisation of emigrants as young potential brides; on the contrary, women of varying ages and backgrounds emigrated. This study also exposes the idealism and naivety prevalent among emigration advocates. Officials presented a logical system of emigration and settlement, but immigrants faced financial and physical challenges which threatened success yet were generally attributed to poor personal character. With these disparities between emigration promoters’ ideals and women’s realities in mind, the thesis turns to other sources to explore the immigrant experience. Newspapers expose colonial debates, and an analysis of fictional works by immigrant women writers clarifies the challenges women faced in settler colonies. Although female emigration has been examined in the past, this thesis demonstrates that it is still possible to enrich our understanding of imperial migration and the role of women in the empire. 3 Table of Contents List of Tables ................................................................................................................ 6 List of Figures ............................................................................................................... 7 Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................... 8 Introduction ................................................................................................................... 9 Female Emigration and Women in Australian History ........................................... 14 Questioning and Connecting Female Emigration History ...................................... 26 From Metropole to Colony ..................................................................................... 32 Chapter One – The Ideal Emigrant: An Analysis of the Female Middle Class Emigration Society Records ....................................................................................... 41 The Female Middle Class Emigration Society (FMCES) ....................................... 45 FMCES Report Tables ............................................................................................ 55 Letters from Home, to Home: First Impressions of Life in Australia ..................... 70 Chapter Two – From Metropole to Colony: Bureaucracy and Female Emigration .... 79 Record-Keeping and Recruitment ........................................................................... 82 Emigration Agents .................................................................................................. 95 Protected Passage: The Voyage, Surgeons, and Matrons ..................................... 100 Emigration Collaborations .................................................................................... 107 Women and Chain Migration ................................................................................ 111 Individual Episodes ............................................................................................... 122 Chapter Three – In the Details: A Case Study of South Australia ............................ 130 The History of South Australia and Emigration ................................................... 133 The 1856 Report of the Select Committee of the Legislative Council of South Australia ................................................................................................................ 142 Life at the Depot ................................................................................................... 150 Deception and Depression: Moral and Mental Behaviour of Female Emigrants . 162 Irish Immigration .................................................................................................. 170 Women’s Testimony and the Adelaide Female Immigration Depot .................... 174 Chapter Four – A Warm Welcome?

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940
    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.

These materials support a face-to-face workshop on the subjects of heraldry and petitioning the Crown for arms in the Commonwealth realms, Crown Dependencies and Territories. For the sake of simplicity the following slides focus on the heraldic practices of HM College of Arms in the City of London covering England, Wales, Norther Ireland, the Crown Dependencies, Territories and the Commonwealth Realms other than Canada. Scotland has enjoyed its own heraldic authority since before the union of the crowns. Agenda An Introduction to Heraldry Petitioning for arms Displaying arms Preparing your petition Frequently Asked Questions Further reading and resources 2 Heraldry: An Introduction 3 We will now explore some of the concepts and terminology of heraldry, the law of arms and gain a brief insight in to blazon, the language of heraldry. The photo was taken by the author in the great hall at Queens’ College, Cambridge. Heraldic Myths Busted There is no such thing as a coat of arms for a surname The words crest, badge and coat of arms are not synonymous There are no fixed meaning for colours or symbols in heraldry You cannot buy your family coat of arms from a tourist shop or website You don’t have to be a Lord or a Knight to be granted arms 4 Before we proceed with the substance of this workshop it may be helpful to dispel a few common myths and misconceptions about heraldry and coats of arms.

  • Summary of State Heritage Place
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Houghton Union Chapel PLACE NO.: 26493 ADDRESS: 21 Blackhill Road, Houghton SA 5131 CT 5462/764 AL2 FP3148 Hundred Yatala STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Houghton Union Chapel is one of the earliest church, school and community buildings in the State, and has significant associations with the early religious development of South Australia. The Houghton Chapel was built cooperatively by members of the Wesleyan Methodist, Congregational and Episcopalian Churches in 1845, and was shared by them as a place of worship until 1874. South Australia was founded on principles of non-discrimination against dissenting denominations. Demonstrating the religious freedom the first settlers to South Australia enjoyed, the Houghton Union Chapel has significant associations with the distinctive early religious development of the colony, and in particular with the religious cooperation that prompted the construction of several multi-denominational or ‘Union’ Chapels. The building was also used as a local primary school from 1847 until 1877 and is one of the earliest examples of a building used for schooling prior to the standardisation of education in South Australia in 1875. The Chapel has been little altered for over 160 years, and thus provides a rare insight into early construction techniques and materials, as well as into the design of early church buildings. Summary of State Heritage Place: 26493 Confirmed by the South Australian Heritage Council 11 April 2019 1 of 17 RELEVANT CRITERIA (under section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993) (a) it demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State's history The Houghton Union Chapel demonstrates significant aspects of the evolution of the State’s history, in particular the early religious development of the state.

  • Magistrates Court
    Heritage of the City of Adelaide MAGISTRATES COURT 262-280 Victoria Square The Magistrates Court, formerly the Supreme Court of South Australia, is one of the original buildings facing Victoria Square and one of the oldest public buildings in Adelaide. It was constructed as South Australia's first Supreme Court, criminal sessions before then having been held at a variety of temporary and unsatisfactory premises including the New Queen's Theatre in Gilles Arcade (see Royal Victoria/Queens Theatre). Tenders for a supreme courthouse were called in 1847 and a design was prepared by the colonial engineer, Edward Charles Frome, or, more likely, his successor, Richard Lambeth. R.G. Bowen's tender was accepted and work started late in 1847. The contractor soon encountered difficulties and delays due to deviations from the original design and the problem of obtaining sufficient number of large blocks of stone at that early date in the settlement's history. Bowen asked to substitute stuccoed brickwork but he was held to his contract, and, it appears, obtained the stone from several quarries including one at Beaumont which was opened in about 1838. Other building stones which may have contributed to the impressive facade include Mitcham, Finniss River or Stirling sandstones. #B E AC11 # D:\P H OTO_The contractor’s CD \IM problems AG E did S not \IM end Gthere. 00 By 12 .P CD 63 09 30 71 16 06 86 60 81 33 1 86 64 23 97 9 P B4 0 2 73 24 6 30 5 0 mid-1850 when the building was nearly complete, the government's lease on the Queen's Theatre expired and officials forcibly occupied the unfinished courthouse.
