  • Australian Silhouettes
    from the Collection of the Sydney Living Museums Australian Silhouettes Complied by Lauren Muney, “Silhouettes By Hand” For use at the Lost Trades Fair Kyneton, VIC D'Arcy Wentworth Silhouette of D'Arcy Wentworth (1762-1827) / artist unknown Date: [c1815] 1 framed silhouette painted on glass : bronzed ; 8 x 5.5 cm Handwritten on back: 'Believed to be / Darcy Wentworth / sometime prior to / 1827'. D'Arcy Wentworth (1762-1827), was born near Portadown, Ireland, the sixth of the eight children of D'Arcy Wentworth and his wife, Martha Dickson. He served as an ensign in the First Armagh Company of the Irish Volunteers while also serving an apprenticeship for the medical profession. Later, while living in London, he found himself in financial difficulties and at the Old Bailey sessions beginning on 12 December 1787 he was thrice charged with highway robbery: twice he was found not guilty and in the third acquitted for lack of evidence. At the conclusion of the case the prosecutor informed the judge: 'My Lord, Mr. Wentworth, the prisoner at the Bar, has taken a passage to go in a fleet to Botany Bay and has obtained an appointment in it as Assistant Surgeon and desires to be discharged immediately'. Wentworth arrived at Port Jackson in the transport Neptune on 28 June 1790. On 1 August he sailed in the Surprize for Norfolk Island where he began his Australian career as an assistant in the hospital. He was appointed superintendent of convicts at Norfolk Island from 10 September 1791, returning to Sydney in February 1796 where he was appointed one of the assistant surgeons of the colony and later principal surgeon of the Civil Medical Department.

  • A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2
    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition. For ease of reference, I have retained the paragraph numbering used previously.
