Mysteries about Elizabeth Donaldson were (1) what happened to her after the birth of her seventh child? (2) what happened to her sixth and seventh children? (3) when and where did she die? My current knowledge of her was completed only recently by searching for her husband on Ancestry at SAG. She was born on 12 January 1847 at Wappan Station near Mansfield, Victoriai. She was the sixth of seven children of Scots David Donaldson and Elizabeth Anderson. She was baptised by Free Presbyterian rites on 5 April 1847. Her siblings were Christina 1836-1898, Alexander 1838-1889, David born and died in infancy in Scotland, Joan/Johanna born 1841 at sea, Robert born 1844 at Mount Battery Station, died in 1930, and Janet 1850-1928. She married Otto Emil Ringk (1833-1909) on 17 April 1865ii. As she was under age, she had her parents’ consent. Her residence and the place of marriage was ‘Wattle Grove’, probably on or near her father’s farm near Merton. Then she lived Otto's farm at Glen Creek. They had seven children (1) Mary Amelia, born 1866iii on 22 February 1884 at Hay NSWiv, died 1 November 1943 at Marrickville (2) Charles David, born 1867v, married Annie Hallett in Bathurst NSW on 31 May 1902vi, took up farming near Blayneyvii where he died on 24 July 1926viii, (3) David Emil, born 1870ix, died unmarried on 2 October 1907 in Hay NSWx, (4) Elizabeth Janet/Jennet, born 1872xi, married John Peter Johnston on 11 August 1890 in Hay NSWxii. After his death on 11 June 1907xiii she married Richard Edward Thorne at Darlington Point on 8 February 1911xiv. She died on 5 September 1924 at Darlington Point,xv. (5) Emily Christina, born 18 August 1874xvi, married George Grant Stanhope on 18 July 1894 at Narrandera, divorce absolute on 20 April 1815, married Arthur David Ashcroft on 6 September 1920 at Wesley Chapel, Sydney, died on 14 August 1867 at Newcastle NSW. Until recently nothing was known of her from 1880 till Otto and the Narrandera police stated in his naturalisation papers in 1900 that he was a widower. With access to Ancestry at SAG, I recently entered his name hoping to get his baptism details from Lieberose, Prussia. What came up were confirmation of the births of the missing children and their surname change. They were (6) Alexander Henry, born 1877 in Victoria, raised with the surname O'Connell by Matthew O'Connell (7) Jessie Agnes, born 21 July 1880 in Victoria, raised with the surname O'Connell by Matthew O’Connell. Some time between 1880 and 1884 she left her husband and cohabited with Matthew O'Connell. They had two sons born in Lismore (1) Daniel John O'Connell born in 1884(2) James O'Connell born in 1887. Her death is not indexed in any state under ‘Ringk’, ‘Donaldson’, 'O'Connell' or any likely variant, including coroner's cases. Mr Joe Sartain (grandson of her brother Alexander) had never heard of her, although he knew about all her adult siblings and their families when I interviewed him in April 1993 in Submitted by John Stanhope Croker Prize for Biography 2020 - Society of Australian Genealogists Mansfield. But I found in a journal at SAG a comment which led me to a significant articlexvii by Mrs Muriel Smith. She is a great granddaughter of Elizabeth's sister Christina. She sent me copies of photographs of Elizabeth and Otto. Elizabeth was alive in 1887 and deceased by 22 October 1900. A grave in the name 'Mrs Ringk' is in the Methodist (formerly Wesleyan) section of Narrandera Cemetery. A municipal official told me that this meant she was the first person buried in the plot. Narrandera had a Wesleyan congregation from 1879xviii. The church was formally constituted in 1884xix, but no records survive from before 1889. The Wesleyan graveyard was commenced before the appointment in September 1889 of Rev John James Boyd, the first resident minister and record keeperxx. Family graves are A26 (Dorothy Stanhope 1899-1900 my aunt) and A28 ('Mrs Ringk' and Otto Emil Ringk 1833-1909). Memorials of Dorothy and Otto of appeared in local newspapers, but not Elizabeth. Elizabeth was probably buried during 1887-1889. Why was she not in Lismore? Perhaps she wanted to meet her married daughters all living in the Riverina. Otto may have arranged for her burial, as he lived near Narrandera. Emily never discussed her mother with her children, including my father who was aged seven when Otto died.

Forget about him – another story – and focus on his wife, my 2x great grandmother. At marriage (7/12/1857, Singleton, NSW), and the births of two sons, she is Alice Sarah Gall. As the informant for their registration, for son Henry (16/11/1858) she is 20 from Brandon, Suffolk; for son William (5/4/1861) she 21 from Norfolk. The immigration lists for the “Fitzjames”, arrived Sydney 1/4/1857, record: “Single Woman, Alice Gall, 18, House Servant, from Norwich, Norfolk; C of E; Reads & Writes.” Perhaps. For her sons’ registrations she made “her X mark.” The diary of the Matron for the Single Women on the “Fitzjames” has eyebrow raising detail (“I am grieved to say theft, lying and slander prevail most shockingly”) but only says of Alice Gall: “Reads and Writes imperfectly.” Some two years after husband William’s death (11/11/1861) widow Alice Sarah Lovett, 24, married Daniel Thomas Smith in Newcastle (he’s a butcher, she’s a servant, and both at the same address). Her parents are Richard Farrow and Maria Gall and she is from Thetford, Norfolk. Four children follow: for Edward (1864) she is “Alice Sarah, formerly Farrer from Norfolk”; for Samuel (1867) she is “Sarah, formerly Gore from Essex.” Daniel Smith is the informant for these two. For the next two children, she is the informant: for Mary Ann (1871) she is “Sarah Ann, formerly Farrow, from Norfolk”; for Florence (1874) she is “Sarah Ann, formerly Harrow, from Norfolk”. The story so far ... my great great grandmother is Alice Sarah Gall, Alice Gall, Sarah Gall; she is Alice Sarah Farrow, Sarah Ann Farrow.

  • 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.

Esta lección se enfocará en la conversión de Pablo y el llamado de William Booth para mostrar cómo Dios puede usar personas de todo tipo de vida para ser portadores de Su mensaje. En esta lección, pedirá a los jóvenes soldados que estén en silencio y escuchen lo que Dios puede estarles diciendo. Es valioso comenzar a enseñar a los niños en una edad temprana, a escuchar la voz de Dios y darles tiempo para practicar. También puede ser confuso para algunos niños porque, espe- cialmente los más pequeños, son pensadores concretos. Quieren escuchar la voz de Dios en sus oídos. Algunos pueden pensar que no aman realmente a Jesús si no “escuchan” algo. Es importante que estos jóvenes no se desanimen. Principio Guía: Dios siempre mueve a Su pueblo a comenzar algo nuevo.

  • The Church Act
    The Church Act: The expansion of Christianity or the imposition of moral enlightenment? David Stoneman A Thesis submitted as fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of New England, Australia, 2011. Abstract The Church Act (1836) redefined and reinvigorated the religious environment in the emerging British colony of New South Wales, which profoundly impacted on its social and political development in a period of rapid population growth. It was a popular measure that has seen Governor Richard Bourke, its principal architect, be remembered as a provider of religious freedom. The simple motivation of the Act to expand Christianity and therefore morality has been complicated by the assertion that it assisted the expansion of a ‘new faith’ called moral enlightenment. This changes the implication of the Act and redefines the motives of the people responsible for its introduction, especially Bourke, by assuming that secular Enlightenment principles overrode Christian objectives. This has provided an ideological superstructure that has been used by some nationalist historians to present a picture of New South Wales colonial life that was fundamentally irreligious verging on atheistic. This has served to diminish the importance of religious thought and belief in the early development of Australia. This thesis argues that the Church Act was conceived to counter various forms of alternative belief and synchronised Christianity, ranging from plebeian ‘folk religion’ to heterodoxical, intellectual Protestantism. It encouraged orthodox Christianity by financially supporting the denominations that had cultural as well as spiritual connections to the majority of the population. The thesis concludes that the Church Act should be categorised as being a product of the ‘Age of Atonement’ not the imposition of moral enlightenment.
