Descendants of William Park and Mary Martin

Park Family History The following pages have a highly speculative attempt to reconstruct the history of the family of William Park, of Bath, Belfast and Quebec, who died in Bath, Somerset, England in 1844. It is known that his daughter Matilda married Richard Vause in Bath in January 1852, and that Matilda's sister married Frederick Hawkins on the same day, and that his wife was Mary Martin, daughter of John Martin, a merchant of Belfast, Antrim, Ireland. Most of the other information is based on circumstantial evidence and “connecting the dots”. Recently several people have helped by giving new dots to connect, but fresh evidence may show that they could be connected in entirely different way, so please do not add this information to your family tree yet. I've been helped a great deal by ShaunJ of the Rootschat website, who found some of the dots. I have compiled this family tree as a research tool only, as a working hypothesis to see where other family members might fit in. I will send this to some other family members who may be interested. If you have any more information on this family, please let me have it. If you would like me to pass on anything else I may find, please let me know. Please note the date on these documents. I am continuing my research and so the information here may be out of date and superseded within a few days, so please get in touch with me for the latest information.

Wolseley entertained the Mayor (Mr Vause), the Hon J. Polkinghorne, the senior officer of the Volunteers (Capt H. Escombe) and several others to dinner.

Privately, in his diary, however, Wolseley described Vause as "an active, shrewd man", and "an offensive snob", and remarked that he, like most of the others he had met, was weak in his aitches.

CHILD 2-Richard Wyatt VAUSE-232 Diary of Battle of Isandlwana

26 Sep 2011 Family Group Record- 23 Page 4 of 6 Husband Richard VAUSE-220 Wife Matilda PARK-224 Notes CHILD 2-Richard Wyatt VAUSE-232 (Continued) 2 miles to the front of the camp at once gave the order to trot, and started off to find Col. Durnford. I came across Capt. Shepstone, and as he asked me to stay with him I dismounted the men and extended them in skirmishing order. We were soon under hot fire, but continued to advance very slowly as the Zulus were under good cover, and we had to expose ourselves every time we advanced. On arriving at the top of the hill we perceived the enemy in overwhelming force coming up from behind and fearing our ammunition would be expended before we could reach the camp Capt. Shepstone gave the order to retire back to our horses. Fortunately the Zulus were shooting very badly, and as yet very few casualties had occurred on our side. As soon as the Zulus perceived that we were in retreat they came on with a shout and were rapidly gaining on us when we regained our horses. As soon as the men were mounted we retired slowly to the camp, dismounting every few yards and firing a volley, but without holding the enemy in check as they did not seem to mind our fire at all. After regaining the camp it was found to our dismay that the ammunition boxes had not been opened and as the Zulus were close on our heels we had no time to look for screwdrivers. Fortunately one of my kaffirs came across a box with a few in which I distributed amongst the men. By this time the soldiers had expended their ammunition and the Zulus had cut though them and were in amongst the tents and we were obliged to retire again. On reaching the road we found it occupied by Zulus and our only way of escape lay over a very rough strip of country. One or two of my older kaffirs advised me to try it, as it was impossible to get out by the road. So we started off, but soon got scattered, a lot of the horses falling over and throwing their riders, who were immediately killed by the Zulus in pursuit. I managed to reach the Buffalo River with about six kaffirs but my horse not being able to swim was washed down and I lost him. After a great deal of difficulty I managed to reach the opposite bank but being thoroughly exhausted I had to sit down and rest and had it not been for a little kaffir boy giving me a seat behind him on his horse I am quite sure the Zulus would have been upon me before I had gone many yards further. However we soon got out of range of the Zulus' fire and as I found the boy could not manage his horse, jumped off and walked a short distance, and came across Edwards of the Carbineers and he kindly took me up behind him. We reached Helpmekaar thoroughly exhausted and formed a laager of the wagons and sacks of mealies but as there were only 38 of us to defend it we quite expected that it would be our last night. Fortunately the Zulus were repulsed at Rorke's Drift and did not get as far as Helpmekaar. I lost 30 men and 10 wounded, so have not many left of my original 50.

Hobby: Horse Racing

Generally known as Wyatt to his friends. Educated at Durban High School, and spent some time on the Kimberley diamond fields. In 1874 started a printing, booksellers and stationers business in Pietermaritzburg, known as Vause, Slatter and Co. In the Anglo- Zulu War he fought as a Lieutenant in the Natal Native Horse under Colonel Durnford, and was one of the few survivors on the British side of the Battle of Isandlwana (22 Jan 1879). By 1889 he was operating as a sharebroker as well, with offices in Pietermaritzburg and Johannesburg, the name of the firm being Vause and Nourse. In 1891 his wife died and he moved to Johannesburg. During the second Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 he was in the Army Service Corps. After the war he was in business in Johannesburg as an accountant, probably in the firm of his brother-in-law, Charles Henry Matterson. He later appears to have returned to the diamond fields for a while, and then to have farmed in Natal before retiring. His hobby was horse racing and breeding. After the death of his wife, the children were brought up by his sister-in-law, Mrs Jessie Gordon Parkes, born Cottam.

HUSBAND-John James RAW-1976 St Luke's Anglican Church

John James Raw was born on 5 April 1851 in Pietermaritzburg, and was the third son of James and Sarah Jane Raw. He was the first child born in Natal, after his parents James and Sarah Jane Raw emigrated from England.

John James, known, as "Crick", would have, in all probability attended school in Pietermaritzburg, where his father was initially employed as the town Clerk of Pietermaritzburg, and later owned the firm J. Raw & Co. Auctioneers and subsequently trading under the name of Raw & Wilkinson.

Having completed his schooling, John James took up farming and purchased the farm The Dargle /Hebron in the district of Lions River. This farm was originally owned by Carl Preller, a Vooortrekker, who was one of the first white pioneers of the Lions River- Lidgetton area.

It is said that Hebron was originally bought by Boshoff, for a bottle of whiskey, from Preller, and sold it to the Raw's. At that time the farm was an outspan point for wagons, and an old stone ford still marks the spot where travellers used to cross the Umgeni River.

John James married on 8 October 1873, Mary Park Vause, "Polly" (born.10 Oct. 1851, died 14 Oct 1916 Hebron, Lions River) daughter of Richard Vause, who arrived in Natal in 1852 and later became an active member in commercial and civic affairs and mayor of Durban five times, and editor of a newspaper, and secretary of Natal Bank. From the marriage ten children were born five sons, and five daughters. Twin girls died at birth, and the last child was a girl.

John James, his brother Charles Raw and John Day (father-in-law of Joseph Robert Raw) were members of the Karkloof Carbineers, a voluntary regiment of experienced soldiers who had been blooded in battle.

John James, during his lifetime, owned properties FP40 and FP41 in the district of Lions River as well as the farms "Westbury" 270 acres and "Ormsby" 375 acres.

John James Raw died on his farm Hebron, The Dargle on the 9 February 1898 at the age of 47 years and is buried at St Luke's Church, Howick. John James left the following property: Hebron - Lions River. Ormsby - 375 acres, 2 roods and 6 perches - Lions River. Westbury - 270 acres, 3 roods and 918 perches - Lions River.

CHILD 1-Richard James RAW-2017 Richard James Raw (Dick), was born on 19 July 1874 at Pietermaritzburg and was the eldest son of John James and Mary Park Raw of Hebron, Dargle Road.

Dick was the first pupil at the old Durban school, the Berea Academy. For a time there were only two pupils, the second pupil being Max Robinson.

On completing his education Dick began his farming career at The Nest, Impendhle, where he was a successful sheep and horse breeder.

Richard James "Dick" married Katherine Erskine Frere Smith (Kate) (15 Mar. 1879 - d. 9 Aug.1966), daughter of Helen Isabella Smith (Raw) and Robert Downie Cullen Smith.

Dick was a Stock Inspector in the Natal Midlands (1898-1909) and farmer. As a Stock Inspector he was required to travel long distances on horseback to the various farms in the entire district inspecting the livestock for disease and enforcing regular dipping. He was also, on occasions, responsible for collecting agricultural statistics.

They later lived at Hebron, then bought a farm at Platrand, Transvaal, which they were forced to sell, as he had stood security for a family member, and as there was a drought, and no money, he had to sell.

Later they had a small holding at Kloof - later worked for Strachan at Swartberg as the manager of 6 farms, until he died of cancer, at Roy's home in Jan. 1938.

Richard James died on 15 Jan.1938, and is buried at Stellawood Cemetery, Block R940. Estate No. 26775/1938. Katherine died on 9 Sept. 1966. Estate No 3458/96. They had three sons and one daughter:

CHILD 4-Catherine Carter RAW-2119 St Luke's Church

Paul Raw gives date of baptism 10 Nov 1879, St Luke's Howick.

There is some confusion about her name in various sources. It is recorded as Catherine Carter Raw in the family Bible and her father's death notice (signed by her mother), but Kathleen Carter Hart-Davis on her mother's death notice (signed by her brother) and Katherine Carter Raw on her own death notice (signed by the surviving spouse). It seems that she used the K spelling in later life, and that Kathleen is simply a clerical error.

Notes HUSBAND-Richard Wyatt VAUSE-232 Diary of Battle of Isandlwana

At break of day we all turned out and stood under arms for an hour as we thought that if the Zulus did attack they would choose that hour for it. As soon as it was quite light we took our men out for footdrill as we expected stiff work for our horses and wished to save them as much as possible. On returning to camp we found that a dispatch has been received from the General ordering us to join the column at Isandlwana as he was about to attack the stronghold of a chief called Matyana and he required all the mounted men available. Col. Durnford had just started with 50 of the Edendale men to see if he could procure wagons from the farmers living along the frontier. We at once sent a messenger after him and set to work with a will to strike tents and get everything ready to move on his return. All were in high spirits at the thought of a fight at last and we little thought what a terrible and miserable ending that day would have. About 7.30 all was ready and the order to march was given. We had a smart ride of about 12 miles, arriving at Isandlwana between 10 and 11 am. After riding through the camp we halted a few minutes to give the men their biscuits. Col. Durnford sent for me and ordered me to ride back and meet our wagons as the Zulus were seen in our rear, and he expected they would try and cut them off. My orders were to see the wagons safely into camp and then join him about 12. I got back with the wagons and hearing firing about 2 miles to the front of the camp at once gave the order to trot, and started off to find Col. Durnford. I came across Capt. Shepstone, and as he asked me to stay with him I dismounted the men and extended them in skirmishing order. We were soon under hot fire, but continued to advance very slowly as the Zulus were under good cover, and we had to expose ourselves every time we advanced. On arriving at the top of the hill we perceived the enemy in overwhelming force coming up from behind and fearing our ammunition would be expended before we could reach the camp Capt. Shepstone gave the order to retire back to our horses. Fortunately the Zulus were shooting very badly, and as yet very few casualties had occurred on our side. As soon as the Zulus perceived that we were in retreat they came on with a shout and were rapidly gaining on us when we regained our horses. As soon as the men were mounted we retired slowly to the camp, dismounting every few yards and firing a volley, but without holding the enemy in check as they did not seem to mind our fire at all. After regaining the camp it was found to our dismay that the ammunition boxes had not been opened and as the Zulus were close on our heels we had no time to look for screwdrivers. Fortunately one of my kaffirs came across a box with a few in which I distributed amongst the men. By this time the soldiers had expended their ammunition and the Zulus had cut though them and were in amongst the tents and we were obliged to retire again. On reaching the road we found it occupied by Zulus and our only way of escape lay over a very rough strip of country. One or two of my older kaffirs advised me to try it, as it was impossible to get out by the road. So we started off, but soon got scattered, a lot of the horses falling over and throwing their riders, who were immediately killed by the Zulus in pursuit. I managed to reach the Buffalo River with about six kaffirs but my horse not being able to swim was washed down and I lost him. After a great deal of difficulty I managed to reach the opposite bank but being thoroughly exhausted I had to sit down and rest and had it not been for a little kaffir boy giving me a seat behind him on his horse I am quite sure the Zulus would have been upon me before I had gone many yards further. However we soon got out of range of the Zulus' fire and as I found the boy could not manage his horse, jumped off and walked a short distance, and came across Edwards of the Carbineers and he kindly took me up behind him. We reached Helpmekaar thoroughly exhausted and formed a laager of the wagons and sacks of mealies but as there were only 38 of us to defend it we quite expected that it would be our last night. Fortunately the Zulus were repulsed at Rorke's Drift and did not get as far as Helpmekaar. I lost 30 men and 10 wounded, so have not many left of my original 50.

Hobby: Horse Racing

By 1889 he was operating as a sharebroker as well, with offices in Pietermaritzburg and Johannesburg, the name of the firm being Vause and Nourse. In 1891 his wife died and he moved to Johannesburg. During the second Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 he was in the Army Service Corps. After the war he was in business in Johannesburg as an accountant, probably in the firm of his brother-in-law, Charles Henry Matterson. He later appears to have returned to the diamond fields for a while, and then to have farmed in Natal before retiring. His hobby was horse racing and breeding. After the death of his wife, the children were brought up by his sister-in-law, Mrs Jessie Gordon Parkes, born Cottam.
