He did an extremely thorough job spending many hours in libraries and archives including the libraries of the Society of Australian Genealogists, the Heraldry & Genealogy Society of Canberra, the National Library of Australia and St Mary's Archives, Sydney. He was also corresponded with, but never met, many distant relatives who generously shared their family information with him. My uncle extends his grateful thanks to these relatives for their assistance over the years. He was kind enough to give me a copy of his research and I then engaged Don Mountain to do preliminary work formatting his research into a book. Don suggested that the research could be extended and it was sent to professional genealogist Cora Num who researched and documented our family history in Australia through this collection of biographies and family charts. The in-depth research takes my forebears back to First Fleeter convict John Ryan and to eight other direct ancestors, male and female, who were transported to Australia. My First Fleet ancestor, John Ryan, was seventeen years of age when he was sentenced to seven years transportation for stealing a woollen coat and hat, valued at thirteen shillings. I am delighted to have been involved in the completion of this project. Dick Smith June 1999 Transportation as a reformatory system failed but as a means ofmaking men outwardly honest, ofconverting vagabonds most useless in one country, into active citizens ofanother, and thus giving birth to a new and splendid country, it has succeeded to a degree unparalleled in history. Charles Darwin Chart 1 A Line of Smiths The following biographies of the ancestors of Dick Smith are arranged alphabetically Elizabeth Connor (c1762-c1808) Elizabeth Connor, wife of Michael Connor (qv), arrived in Sydney on 28 June 1790 with the Second Fleet aboard the ship Neptune. Nothing is known about her background, date of birth,1 place of birth, or maiden name. The Smith family oral tradition relates that Elizabeth was Spanish and that her son Roger (qv) was born on Gibraltar. There was another son named James Connor.2 Elizabeth accompanied her husband Michael to the colony. He was convicted at the Old Bailey, London of stealing an iron bar in April 1788 and sentenced to seven years transportation. A month later while awaiting transportation he escaped from Newgate Gaol by slipping out the gates when they were opened for visitors to leave. This followed several visits from Elizabeth who was experiencing great distress and hardship trying to look after herself and their three small children following Michael's imprisonment. Michael was recaptured two months later in Bainbridge Street, St Giles where he was employed shovelling mortar. He was tried with being found at large and sentenced to death. Fortunately this was reprieved a year later to transportation for life.3 He sailed with the Second Fleet aboard the ship Scarborough II. When Michael's sentence of death was reprieved Elizabeth was destitute, facing the prospect of being left alone in England with three young children. Under these circumstances she was fortunate to be offered the opportunity to accompany her husband to New South Wales when the Secretary of State advised the naval agent that there was space available on the Neptune for up to forty more women. The male convicts were told that they could bring their wives on the voyage and that they would be supported by the Government on the same basis as the female convicts. If insufficient wives availed themselves ofth e offer de-facto wives would be accepted. Only six wives and thirteen children sailed with the Fleet, Elizabeth Connor one of them. It is not known if all three of her children embarked, only son Roger Connor is recorded in the colony.4 On board the Neptune Elizabeth was housed with the convict women in a section ofth e upper deck. Rations consisted of flour, bread, pork, salt beef, pease, butter, rice and soap. The women were organised into mess groups of six and each mess received a weekly ration of a quarter a pound of tea and three pounds of brown sugar. They were supplied with unfashionable but functional clothing which consisted of a striped jacket, a striped petticoat, a pair of stays, a hat, two flannel petticoats, two shifts, two handkerchiefs, two pairs ofstockings, shoes and a bag. 5 Elizabeth and her son Roger's fellow passenger aboard the Neptune was convict Sarah Woolley (qv) who became Roger's mother in law when he married her daughter Elizabeth Ryan (qv) in 1810. See Sarah's biography for detailed information on the voyage of th e Neptune. The Second Fleet was known as The Death Fleet because ofth e high mortality rate suffered by the convicts (26% compared with 2.8% for the First Fleet). Nearly 40% of those landed from the Second Fleet were dead within eight months of arrival. The convicts suffered cruelty and mistreatment due to government cost cutting measures, official carelessness and private greed. 1 Age estimate based on Elizabeth being sixteen years of age when Roger was born cl 778 and being forty two when Margaret was born in 1804. 2 Descendant Dud Smith's research. Efforts to document this have failed. It is possible that her husband Michael served with the British Army during the American War of Independence possibly at the siege of Gibraltar (1779-1783) when Spain became involved because of their American colonial possessions. 3 Old Bailey Proceedings, part one, reel 17, pp 361-362, 668-669, 980. 4 FLYNN Michael C, The Second Fleet, p 31. Ibid p 34. 1 Inappropriate and insufficient rations led to disease and death. The Neptune's male convicts in particular suffered gross inhumanity at the hands of the captain Donald Trail, a former slave ship captain who has been described as a demented sadist. Elizabeth, Michael and Roger were lucky to survive the harrowing voyage and it is likely, though unrecorded, that two of their young children did not survive the voyage to the colony. On landing at Sydney Cove the convicts who did not require hospitalisation were billeted among the First Fleeters who had established huts or houses or were sent to the new settlement at Rose Hill (renamed Parrarnatta) where huts that housed four or more convicts had been constructed. It is not known if the Connors were initially housed as a family or if Michael was kept with the other convicts. Michael and Elizabeth bad at least four children born in the colony, George Connor (1794), Charles Connor (1797), Michael Connor (1801) and Margaret Connor (1804). There may have been others who died in infancy or early childhood. An infant Mary Connor was buried at St John's Church of England, Parrarnatta on 11 April 1792. 7 Her parents are not documented. Very little is known about their life in the colony up until 1797 when Michael received a conditional pardon. Life for Elizabeth and Michael changed after April 1798 when Michael was granted eighty acres ofland in the Eastern Farms district at Kissing Point (now Meadowbank).8 By 1800 Elizabeth and Michael bad established a productive farm with thirty five pigs, seven sheep, two goats and twelve acres of wheat and twelve acres of maize sown. Michael was listed off government stores with one woman and one child on stores.9 On 25 November 1800 both Michael and Roger enlisted in the New South Wales Corps at Sydney. Michael served as a private and was discharged on 25 April 1803. 10 11 Michael had previous military service prior to his conviction in 1788. It is assumed that they were motivated to join the Corps because of generous land grants that were given to discharged officers and rank and file. During Michael's service Elizabeth and the younger children would have managed the farm, though Michael served in Sydney and would have spent some time at home.

  • Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 Œ 18 October 2012
    Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 { 18 October 2012 Emeritus Professor Garth Gaudry died in Sydney on 18 October 2012 after a long battle with a brain tumour. Those of us in the mathematical community will remember him for different reasons; as research collaborators, as a friend, a teacher, lover of red wine, rugby, music and many other things. Above all he will be remembered for leadership in promoting mathematical sciences in the community and politically. Personal connections Garth was my friend and colleague who came into my life at the end of the 1980s. An early encounter involved a meeting in a Carlton coffee caf´e with Garth, David Widdup and me. David was Executive Director of the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies (FASTS) and a wonderful friend of mathematics. Garth was the inaugural President of the Australian Mathematical Sciences Council (AMSC) and I had just become secretary. Garth and David were discussing a press release with what I can only describe as happy enthusiasm. As the language of the press release became more and more colourful, I thought this is going to be an interesting time. So it proved to be. Early history Garth’s family history dates from the First Fleet. It is a fascinating story of which he was rightly proud and so I have reproduced part of a speech his wife Patricia gave at a dinner for his 70th birthday as an appendix. He was the son of a Queensland primary teacher and spent his first nine years in Rockhampton. His father then became head teacher at Tekowai outside of Mackay and Garth completed his secondary education at Mackay High School, riding his Obituary:GarthIanGaudry 43 bike five miles each way.

  • Women in Colonial Commerce 1817-1820: the Window of Understanding Provided by the Bank of New South Wales Ledger and Minute Books
    WOMEN IN COLONIAL COMMERCE 1817-1820: THE WINDOW OF UNDERSTANDING PROVIDED BY THE BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES LEDGER AND MINUTE BOOKS Leanne Johns A thesis presented for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the Australian National University, Canberra August 2001 DECLARATION I certify that this thesis is my own work. To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage.

  • Newport, Isle of Wight. APTAIN BUTT-THOMPSON Is Doing Fine Historical C Service
    Newport, Isle of Wight. APTAIN BUTT-THOMPSON is doing fine historical C service. His essays on William Vidler and the Battle church were in early numbers of our Transactions. He has written two books about the early church at Sierra Leone, founded bynegroes from the Carolinas and Nova Scotia-a most romantic st<;>ry. Now that he is in the Isle of Wight, he has compiled the story of early Baptist effort there. While he is gathering fresh material in South Africa, he places at our disposal his results, with leave to edit them. Thomas Collier, the evangelist of the West Country from 1644 onwards, won converts on the Hampshire and Dorset coasts. From Hurst Castle a family of these, the Angels, crossed and settled in the Isle of Wight, when the plague threatened from Southampton in 1665. At Newport, Robert Tutchin had been ejected three years earlier from the parish church. He had many friends, and .some of these subscribed so that he continued to preach, though. the Five Mile Act obliged him to transfer to a house on the outer verge of the Carls Brook hamlet. Among his supporters were Cookes, Clarkes and Hopkins. Another rivulet of Dissent was Quaker. In 1670 widow Martha Jefferey came to lodge in Newport, and five years later . she bought a cottage on Pyle street where she set apart a room for the reverent. worship of Jehovah God. When she left the island in 1681, she sold the cottage to Alice Hopkins, and laid hands on Mary Hall as her successor, being moved by God to consider other fields white to harvest.
