    Widowhood and remarriage in colonial Australia Susan Hart Bachelor of Arts (Honours) University of Western Australia This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia School of Humanities Discipline of History 2009 Abstract Widowhood and remarriage affected a majority of people in colonial Australia, yet historians have given them scant attention. Today, widowhood primarily concerns the elderly, but in the mid-nineteenth century a considerable proportion of deaths were amongst young adults. Thus many widows and widowers had children to care for, who were also affected by the loss of a parent and the possible remarriage of their surviving parent. Extended families might be called on for support, while communities, at the local and government level, were confronted with the need to provide welfare for the widowed and orphaned, including the older widowed. This thesis considers how widowhood impacted on men and women at all levels of society in the nineteenth-century Australian colonies, especially Western Australia and Victoria, taking into account the effects of age, class and numbers of children of the widowed. When men were the chief family earners and women were dependent child bearers the effects of widowhood could be disastrous, and widows had to employ a range of strategies to support themselves and their families. Men too were affected by widowhood, for the loss of a wife’s housekeeping skills could cause serious financial consequences. One response to widowhood was remarriage, and the thesis discusses the advantages and disadvantages of remarriage for men and women. Historians have regarded remarriage as the best option for the widowed, especially for women.

    Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention

    The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention The Art of Consensus: Edmund Barton and the 1897 Federal Convention* Geoffrey Bolton dmund Barton first entered my life at the Port Hotel, Derby on the evening of Saturday, E13 September 1952. As a very young postgraduate I was spending three months in the Kimberley district of Western Australia researching the history of the pastoral industry. Being at a loose end that evening I went to the bar to see if I could find some old-timer with an interesting store of yarns. I soon found my old-timer. He was a leathery, weather-beaten station cook, seventy-three years of age; Russel Ward would have been proud of him. I sipped my beer, and he drained his creme-de-menthe from five-ounce glasses, and presently he said: ‘Do you know what was the greatest moment of my life?’ ‘No’, I said, ‘but I’d like to hear’; I expected to hear some epic of droving, or possibly an anecdote of Gallipoli or the Somme. But he answered: ‘When I was eighteen years old I was kitchen-boy at Petty’s Hotel in Sydney when the federal convention was on. And every evening Edmund Barton would bring some of the delegates around to have dinner and talk about things. I seen them all: Deakin, Reid, Forrest, I seen them all. But the prince of them all was Edmund Barton.’ It struck me then as remarkable that such an archetypal bushie, should be so admiring of an essentially urban, middle-class lawyer such as Barton.

    557 Some Lesser Members of Parliament in Queensland

    557 SOME LESSER MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT IN QUEENSLAND [By ALLAN A. MORRISON, M.A.] (Read before the Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, on October 27, 1960.) Colonial Parliaments in Australia during the 19th century were markedly different in one way at least from those to which we are now accustomed. To-day the rule of party is strong, and woe betide the indi­ vidual member who flouts the orders of his party leaders. It is true that an energetic member or group of members from the back-benches may sometimes force re-consideration of particular issues, as for example occurred recently in the Federal Senate, or during the Suez crisis in England, but in general such revolts are rare. It is also true that the back-bencher has his say during discussions in the party room, but once a decision is reached there he is bound to it and may not diverge from it, at risk of losing party endorsement in the next election. Whether this is right or wrong, necessary or unnecessary, I do not propose to discuss here. My sole purpose is to remind you — if a reminder be necessary, in view of fairly recent events in Queensland politics — of the present day strength of party rule. No Strong Party Organisation But in the last century the dominating feature of politics was the lack of strong party organisation. Men held ideas that were often very much their own, so much so that it is extremely difficult to see how men with such differing views could ever be combined into anything like a modern party.

    Philanthropy in Birmingham and Sydney, 1860-1914: Class, Gender and Race

    Philanthropy in Birmingham and Sydney, 1860-1914: Class, Gender and Race Elizabeth Abigail Harvey UCL This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD I, Elizabeth Abigail Harvey, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 1 Abstract Philanthropy in Birmingham and Sydney, 1860-1914: Class, Gender and Race This thesis considers philanthropic activities directed towards new mothers and destitute children both “at home” and in a particular colonial context. Philanthropic encounters in Birmingham and Sydney are utilised as a lens through which to explore the intersections between discourses of race, gender and class in metropole and colony. Moreover, philanthropic and missionary efforts towards women and children facilitate a broader discussion of ideas of citizenship and nation. During the period 1860 to 1914 the Australian colonies federated to become the Australian nation and governments in both Britain and Australia had begun to assume some responsibility for the welfare of their citizens/subjects. However, subtle variations in philanthropic practices in both sites reveal interesting differences in the nature of government, the pace of transition towards collectivism, as well as forms of inclusion and exclusion from the nation. This project illuminates philanthropic and missionary men and women, as well as the women and children they attempted to assist. Moreover, the employment of “respectable” men and women within charities complicates the ways in which discourses of class operated within philanthropy. Interactions between philanthropic and missionary men and women reveal gendered divisions of labour within charities; the women and children they assisted were also taught to replicate normative (middle-class) gendered forms of behaviour.
