At one time or another we all wonder about our past. Where did our forebears come from? What were the circumstances of their leaving their homeland, the hardships endured, the characters of the people? For families whose forebears migrate to another country their original roots often become obscured over time and distance. Prior to very recent days communication was basically by means of letters or spoken word. The old and new worlds are not only separate in a distance sense, but in traditions forged over the centuries. These traditions tend to slowly change or disintegrate as new identities develop in adaption to new environments and circumstances. For our family of Australian Stathers the English roots have become tenuous. The first generation that migrated to Australia in 1915 has now passed on. So it becomes important for future generations to try and record what knowledge we have because it will be rapidly lost in the clouds of time. In fact this has already started - the NSW Register of Deaths records as “unknown” the names of Emily Stathers’ mother and father. Knowledge of the past may not enhance our lives in a monetary sense but it leads to a better understanding of who we are and where we came from. This is a record of the story of the branch of the Stathers family who emigrated from England in 1915 - John Robert and Emily nee Crump, their three sons - George Alfred, Edgar Meredith, John Robert, and daughter. Dorothy. Frank and Bettina were later born in Australia, Frank dying in early infancy in 1920 at Manly. 7 In addition our remaining UK family roots through the Harris family in Herefordshire are explored and expanded in a personal sense. The story emerges from records made from several sources including George Alfred Stathers - “uncle George” - the eldest son of John Robert and Emily - who had tried over the years to maintain contact with the UK family members. Added to his role are recollections from family tradition, genealogy research, and from personal conversations and observations made during a trip to the United Kingdom in 2007. This enabled a reuniting with the Harris family in Hereford who share a common ancestry through the Crumps - John Harris’s grandmother was the sister of Emily, our grandmother. This account is not meant to be a recitation of achievements or even of a complete genealogy record. The intention is to record events and people so that in subsequent times others may research their own story. In chronological terms the research covers the events, real and suspected, from 1750 up until the early 2000s. A sketch of the first generation in Australia is made but no attempt is made to broaden this in detail or to record the life course of the current living generation - this is for a later project or for others to record in a more objective manner. Out of this background comes family traditions and narrative. In turn this becomes a new story in a new land which owes its existence to the past and present. The future will run its own course but influenced significantly by the inheritance from our forefathers. This is important knowledge and why this task is undertaken. 8 Preamble The period covered by this family history encompassed massive change in the political and social environment. There were the French and American revolutions in the period 1770-80 which began to break the traditional social order with concepts of freedom, liberty, and democracy. These events represented a potential massive transfer of power from a landed elite to a newly emerging urban based population. The embryonic Australian nation was given birth by these events in 1788. In Ireland these movements led to the revolution of 1798 which also shaped the future makeup of our family. In the midst of this were the Napoleonic wars which lasted until 1815 - and was followed in England by severe economic depression particularly in the rural countryside. On 16 August 1819 in London the cavalry charged a crowd of 80,000 people that had assembled in London to hear a reformer talk about giving everyone the right to vote. 1 Nine were killed and over 400 wounded. There were other disturbances of like nature and a major political conflict between the governing power block and the population at large was evolving.2 This lasted throughout the 1800s with periods of greater or lesser effects on society. The paradox was that this was in the phase of expansion of English imperial and industrial might with large scale growth and restructuring of populations. There was dislocation of the rural life patterns which had been relatively stable for centuries - factors such as the steam engine, railways, urbanisation, and changing 1 “William Charles Wentworth”, Tink, Andrew. 2009. Allen & Unwin. 2 Also Poor Law Amendment Act 1813. 9 concepts of liberty and social order initiated hope as well as fear. There were other empires developing, especially German, with the inevitable clash for dominance as experienced in 1914 with World War 1. The after effect of that conflict, besides the huge human cost, was the beginning of the breakdown of traditional land ownership in England. At a village level life in the early phases of this story life followed the patterns of many ages. It is difficult to conceptualise life as it existed on an everyday basis. The horrors for those on the lower levels of society are exposed in books such as “Useful Toil” by John Burnett.3 From an Australian perspective Geoffrey Blainey offers a parallel insight - there was no electricity until the mid-1850s, transport was horse based, there were few comforts for the average person. The fruits of the rapidly evolving scientific revolution were still to be realised.4 Between 1800-1900 London increased in population from one to six million with consequential breakdown in public health and living standards.5 Similarly with personal relationships, the world was small and local, especially for the average person. Marriage prospects must have been limited but it seems from this family history that children were baptised, marriage preceded by the issuing of Banns, and divorce was virtually unknown. Life expectancy initially in the 1800s was around 40-45 years and illnesses such as tuberculosis were rife. This was the period before Pasteur had identified “germs” as a cause for disease 3 “Useful Toil” Burnett, John.Penguin. 1984. 4 “Black Kettle and Full Moon.” Blainey, G. 2003. Penguin 5 “Sophia”, Anita Anand. 2015. pp. 80-81.Bloomsbury. 10 and the era of antibiotics was still many decades away. Maternal and infant mortality was a major factor in family life. Inheritance patterns continued in the old ways with the eldest son inheriting and the daughters being dependent on marriage matches. So it was inevitable that with this scene individuals and families looked for greener pastures. Australia with its apparent opportunities and freedoms was very enticing especially once transport became a viable option through such schemes as the Bounty movement. This story then needs to be read with this précis in mind and to interpret the various personal decisions made in a different societal context.

  • Geography: Example Erosion
    The Physical and Human Causes of Erosion The Holderness Coast By The British Geographer Situation The Holderness coast is located on the east coast of England and is part of the East Riding of Yorkshire; a lowland agricultural region of England that lies between the chalk hills of the Wolds and the North Sea. Figure 1 The Holderness Coast is one of Europe's fastest eroding coastlines. The average annual rate of erosion is around 2 metres per year but in some sections of the coast, rates of loss are as high as 10 metres per year. The reason for such high rates of coastal erosion can be attributed to both physical and human causes. Physical Causes The main reason for coastal erosion at Holderness is geological. The bedrock is made up of till. This material was deposited by glaciers around 12,000 years ago and is unconsolidated. It is made up of mixture of bulldozed clays and erratics, which are loose rocks of varying type. This boulder clay sits on layer of seaward sloping chalk. The geology and topography of the coastal plain and chalk hills can be seen in figure 2. Figure 2 The boulder clay with erratics can be seen in figure 3. As we can see in figures 2 and 3, the Holderness Coast is a lowland coastal plain deposited by glaciers. The boulder clay is experiencing more rapid rates of erosion compared to the chalk. An outcrop of chalk can be seen to the north and forms the headland, Flamborough Head. The section of coastline is a 60 kilometre stretch from Flamborough Head in the north to Spurn Point in the south.

  • 1 the Influence of Groyne Fields and Other Hard Defences on the Shoreline Configuration
    1 The Influence of Groyne Fields and Other Hard Defences on the Shoreline Configuration 2 of Soft Cliff Coastlines 3 4 Sally Brown1*, Max Barton1, Robert J Nicholls1 5 6 1. Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, 7 University Road, Highfield, Southampton, UK. S017 1BJ. 8 9 * Sally Brown ([email protected], Telephone: +44(0)2380 594796). 10 11 Abstract: Building defences, such as groynes, on eroding soft cliff coastlines alters the 12 sediment budget, changing the shoreline configuration adjacent to defences. On the 13 down-drift side, the coastline is set-back. This is often believed to be caused by increased 14 erosion via the ‘terminal groyne effect’, resulting in rapid land loss. This paper examines 15 whether the terminal groyne effect always occurs down-drift post defence construction 16 (i.e. whether or not the retreat rate increases down-drift) through case study analysis. 17 18 Nine cases were analysed at Holderness and Christchurch Bay, England. Seven out of 19 nine sites experienced an increase in down-drift retreat rates. For the two remaining sites, 20 retreat rates remained constant after construction, probably as a sediment deficit already 21 existed prior to construction or as sediment movement was restricted further down-drift. 22 For these two sites, a set-back still evolved, leading to the erroneous perception that a 23 terminal groyne effect had developed. Additionally, seven of the nine sites developed a 24 set back up-drift of the initial groyne, leading to the defended sections of coast acting as 1 25 a hard headland, inhabiting long-shore drift.
