Lizzie Webber Official Number 32198
Lizzie Webber Official Number 32198 Author – Bill Swift Date 2 June 2017 1 Introduction The Lizzie Webber was built in Sunderland as an emigrant ship and was the first to sail from Sunderland to Australia. As such, she has been of some interest to family historians and her departure from Sunderland attracted much festivity and national press coverage. She never returned to England after that first trip and little of her subsequent life has been systematically researched. The internet has several snippets of information, all incomplete and many inaccurate. This monograph is an attempt to provide a more complete view, although there remain areas of uncertainty. 2 As-built Data Launch date – unknown date in 1852 Maiden voyage – 31 Jul 1852 Construction – wood with yellow metal and felt clad. Type – Listed in Lloyds Register as a snow, but in all other documents is referred to as a brig. Tons Old Measure– 280 Tons New Measure– 213 Her short career as a British registered ship pre-dates dimensions being shown in Lloyd’s Register so these are, at present, unknown. 3 Builder The first question to be addressed is who actually built the Lizzie Webber. No reports have been found in any newspapers available on-line for the launch of the Lizzie Webber, but there are no Sunderland newspapers yet available for 1852. There are many newspaper reports of Lizzie Webber leaving Sunderland on her maiden voyage, including the Illustrated London News which included an engraving of the event, and these all say that she was built by Mr Pile of Sunderland. -

Kabininge - This Name Is Shown Thus on Early Maps and Means ‘Bad Water Place’ and on Latter-Day Maps It Appears As Kabminye
K We can scarcely imagine that [the Governor] is solely or even mainly responsible for such preposterous and disfiguring names on our maps as Jamestown, Georgetown, Laura, Hundred of Dublin and a dozen others equally objectionable. (Register, 10 October 1872, page 4f) Kabininge - This name is shown thus on early maps and means ‘bad water place’ and on latter-day maps it appears as Kabminye. Situated three kilometres south of Tanunda, it was said to mean ‘morning star’. Prior to 1918 it was known as ‘Kronsdorf’, this name, with a slight modification, was restored to the map as ‘Krondorf’ in 1975. Kadina - The name is derived from kadnina - ‘place for termites’ from the presence of termite mounds on the plain south of the present town. These ants were a favourite food for the Aborigines each spring when, for about two months, the women spent many hours digging into the mounds and separating termites from mound earth by rocking them in wooden cradles and bark troughs. Other sources suggest it is a corruption of an Aboriginal word kadijina, meaning ‘lizard place’ (kadi - ‘lizard’, jina - ‘place’); this name was The stone building from the Cornwall Mine near Kadina, re-erected at applied, also, to an Aboriginal camp on the south the Elder Shaft at the Wallaroo Mines side of the town. The town of Kadina was offered for sale on 28 March 1861, the Hundred of Kadina, County of Daly, on 12 June 1862 and Kadina East proclaimed on 13 June 1907. Mr F. Ward, of Howard St, North Kensington, commented on ‘the first regular coaches between Kadina and the GPO’ and said that ‘I had been in the employ of the late Wm. -

Begbie's Pure Fluid lapesia. THE valuable properties of Magnesia have been long and uni- versally known. The use of Magnesia in the solid form has been very properly objected to, on account of its tendency to form dangerous concretions in the bowels. The introduction of the Fluid Magnesia has removed this objection, as it has been proved by eminent naedical authorities that the use of this favourite Medicine in the liquid state is not liable to produce these con- cretions. It can therefore be used with perfect safety and incal- culable benefit by anyone, and is specially adapted for Adult Females and Children. This preparation is deservedly esteemed, possessing as it does all the medicinal properties of Magnesia, with more immediate action, and being administered in a more elegant and convenient form. The continued use of Soda and Potash as antacids has been known to produce very serious results in the system. These agents can be entirely dispensed with, as the Fhiid Magnesia is a more efficient remedy, and is perfectly free from the danger of causing injurious effects.

Index to the Captains Register of Lloyds of London
Index to the Captains Registers of Lloyd’s of London: G (CLC/B/148/B/019/ MS18567) London Metropolitan Archives Introduction This document contains an alphabetical index to the Lloyds of London Captains registers which are held at London Metropolitan Archives (LMA). The Registers give details of the careers as captain and/or mate, on those vessels whose voyage details were transmitted to Lloyd's of London, of merchant sea captains who held British or British colonial master's certificates. By no means were all Captains British citizens. For further details please see LMA information leaflet 'Lloyd's of London "Captains Registers" and related sources', available from the LMA website. These indexes are for the series CLC/B/148/B/019/MS18567, covering the years 1869 (retrospective to 1851 for those masters and mates still sailing in 1869)-1911; captains still active after that date will be found in later series held at LMA which are not covered by these indexes. The indexes may also be consulted in LMA's Information Area. The indexes list captains by name, noting variants given, followed by date and place of birth, also noting variants. The certificate number, and its place and date of award, if known, are listed, with a note of changes in the number and the volume in which this first occurs. Not all this information is found in every volume: in some entries a captain may be known only by his initials, or his birthplace may be listed in a partial form. If information of this kind, such as date of birth, is not given in the indexes, it is not to be found in the original. -
Graham Tucker Interview Transcript
Transcript of a discussion with Graham Tucker on 7th March 2017. Interviewed by Maureen McKenzie Maureen: How long have you lived in Gawler? Graham: I came to Gawler in 1990 so that would make this the 27th year. Maureen: and in that time what have you seen as far as the changes in Gawler? Graham: Changes have been fairly dramatic, particularly the population. The population has increased considerably in those years. A lot of new areas have been opened up to housing .. one very close to where I am here with the new housing settlement out at the end of Carlton Road. So that is one of the most dramatic things. Since I came here I've retired and I joined the Gawler Visitor Centre as a volunteer. Later on I joined the National Trust as a volunteer in their museum. Maureen: And you personally...When you first came here you said you retired. What was your occupation? Graham: I was a Salesman in the Merchandise department of Elder Smith & Co. and I was with them for something like 37 years I think. Maureen: And where were they situated? Graham: I didn't work in Gawler. My last branch was the store at Cavan but in between I'd been to Penola, Mt Gambier, Gladstone, … then I shifted from Gladstone … went back to live in Modbury where I stayed for 28 years. And I had various positions with Elders over the next 30 odd years. I was in the Machinery Department. 07 Mar 2017_GOHP-Graham Tucker/MMK Page 1 Maureen: What did that entail? Graham: We had quite a range of reasonably heavy farm machinery in those days. -

Wheels". Item no. 1 in Untitled Folder, Gawler Public Library (Gawler, no date). Digby Brereton, a former blacksmith in the Gawler-Lyndoch area during the 1930s-40s, wrote this memoir on the process of re-tyring. During the era of horse-drawn transport, steel tyres of wooden wheels became loose and required tightening due to the stresses of constant use, rough tracks, weather and rust. With this information are 10 photographs, each with notes on the back, illustrating the repair procedure.
