DEADLINE DATES: 7 January, 7 April, 7 July, 7 October June 1994 Tasmanian Ancestry EDITORIAL Greetings to all family historians, Another GST Inc. year is closing. Has the past twelve month period been a success for you with your research? I am happy to say that a couple of new cousins arrived in my letter-box. Both were from my mother's side of the family. with connections to WADE and ROBBINS. I really don't know where the GILLS have disappeared to before 1856. It 's most frustrating. This edition of our journal has some very interesting items. It is very pleasing to see the list of additions to the Tasmaniana Library from Tony Marshall. The Burial Grounds of Hobart have been presented in a valuable, easy to read, easy to understand article by Marie Ring and what an interesting slant on the LEARY puzzle. There are a number of new members and Members' Interests are always the first I read. Do check the Sales pages and make sure you do not mi ss something special. On reading the Branch News items you will see many changes to committees with new faces taking a closer interest in the running of th e Society and past committee members taking a well-earned rest. I could not close this rather short editorial without mentioning th e article from the County Wicklow Heritage Society. The list of names and information is only there in part and the pages sent to the Society have twelve headings for each name with a lot more information given, so there is plenty for anyone with a connection or interest in these Irish felons. Don't forget the State Annual General Meeting on 25-26 June in Launceston and don't forget to start preparing your manuscripts for the 1995 Family Hi story Award. Entry forms will be available soon. The Journal Committee is asking the Huon Branch to contribute several articles for the December 1994 issue and for the March 1995 issue the committee proposes to have a school theme entitled " I went to sc hool at .... .. and .... .. and while I was there ...... happened". Jenny Gill, Associate Editor Cover Design The Old Bellerive Post Office, taken about 1920 (AOT 30/5624 ). The Boer War memorial is in the foreground. Reproduced with permission of the Archives Office of Tasmania Tasmanian Ancestry 2 June 1994 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Various activities were held again this year in March for Family History week by all branches. During this week the State hosted Mr David Wright from Kent, England, professional genealogist for seventeen years, author of East Kent Parishes and compiler of the East Kent Burial Index. The talks given by David covered English Probate Records, Census Returns, Civil Registration and a few points on hiring a professional researcher in England and were held at both Devonport and Hobart. It is not often we have the opportunity to have overseas speakers visit and talk to the branches, but members can again take the opportunity to hear three other overseas speakers at the Annual General Meeting to be held in Launceston later this month. The State Executive has endorsed by-laws relating to Clause lO(e) - Granting of a Fellowship or a Certificate of Meritorious Service and is in the process of endorsing by-laws in relation to Finances. The above by-law together with others as listed in the September 1993 journal can be made available for viewing through any branch. The State Executive urgently seeks the assistance of any Tasmanian member who will be attending the Congress at Brisbane in July. Assistance with transporting publications is one major requirement, together with the manning of the Society's stand. If you can assist in any way. please contact Anne Bartlett as soon as possible. We have recei ved s ixteen entries for the 1993 Family History Award and the presentation to the winner will be made at the Annual General Meeting. It is very encouraging to receive so many entries. Launceston branch has again agreed to host the 1995 Family Hi story Award which is for a Manuscript. At the Annual General Meeting at the end of June I shall be standing down from the position of President. I have enjoyed my three years in this position. The opportunities afforded me and the people I have met during these years alone outweigh the duties associated with the position. Elected as Branch Delegate for the Hobart Branch, I shall continue to play an active role for the Society. In closing I would like to remind members of the dates for the Annual General Meeting - 25 th & 26th June, and to specially note the events scheduled for this week-end. I hope to see as many members as possible at the AGM.

  • Student Activity Sheet H20.3: Convict Clothing
    EPISODE 20 | 1818: CHARLES Unit focus: History Year level: Years 3–6 EPISODE CLIP: FENCING ACTIVITY 1: ESCAPE! Subthemes: Culture; Gender roles and stereotypes; Historical events The remoteness of Australia and its formidable landscape and harsh climate made this alien land an ideal choice as a penal settlement in the early 19th century. While the prospect of escape may initially have seemed inconceivable, the desire for freedom proved too strong for the many convicts who attempted to flee into the bush. Early escapees were misguided by the belief that China was only a couple of hundred kilometres to the north. Later, other convicts tried to escape by sea, heading across the Pacific Ocean. In this clip, Charles meets Liam, an escaped convict who is attempting to travel over the Blue Mountains to the west. Discover Ask students to research the reasons why Australia was selected as the site of a British penal colony. They should also find out who was sent to the colony and where the convicts were first incarcerated. Refer to the My Place for Teachers, Decade timeline – 1800s for an overview. Students should write an account of the founding of the penal settlement in New South Wales. As a class, discuss the difficulties convicts faced when escaping from an early Australian gaol. Examine the reasons they escaped and the punishments inflicted when they were captured. List these reasons and punishments on the board or interactive whiteboard. For more in-depth information, students can conduct research in the school or local library, or online.

  • A Gentleman Bushranger
    Not Just Ned: A true history of the Irish in Australia An exhibition developed and presented by the National Museum of Australia OBJECT BIOGRAPHY A Gentleman Bushranger There are many unique objects in the upcoming exhibition Not Just Ned: A true history of the Irish in Australia such as a theatrical wig, a giant land map, a small golden probe and the antlers of an ancient Irish elk. Among these is a long slender ivory walking cane gun which once belonged to the bushranger Martin Cash. Martin Cash was one of Tasmanian’s most notorious bushrangers. Born in County Wexford, Ireland; Martin was convicted in March 1827 of housebreaking. However his own account of the crime was that he shot at a man who was embracing his lover. Transported for seven years, Cash arrived in Sydney onboard the Marquis of Huntley. In 1837 Cash sailed for Van Diemen’s Land and within two years was convicted of larceny and was sent to Port Arthur. One of the few men to have succeeded in escaping from Port Arthur, Cash along with two other convicts Lawrence Kavenagh and George Jones eluded guards by swimming around Eaglehawk Neck. The three pursued a bushranging career, robbing inns and the houses of well-to-do settlers without the use of unnecessary violence, thus earning them the reputation of 'gentlemen bushrangers'. Cash’s walking stick gun may have been used during this period as it was designed as a concealed weapon. The walking stick gun would have played to his ‘gentlemanly’ character. The story of Martin Cash is represented in After spending several months at large all were re-captured.
