Edward Gallard – 1835-1914 Edward Gallard – 1835-1914. By:- Neil H Smith 7 th May 2008 Rev 6f 14th January 2018 Edward Gallard – Pioneer fruit grower. 29 th With links to the beginnings of white settlement in Oct 1835 to 9 th Oct 1914 Sydney. Edward (Ted) Gallard was born in Southborough, a small village about halfway between Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells , in Kent UK on 29 th Oct 1835, the son of Matthew Gallard and Frances Ann Smith. They lived in a 300-year-old house near a water-driven flour -mill. Edward was 3 YO when he arrived in Sydney on the “James Pattison” on 11 th Dec 1838, with his parents, older brothers Robert , and Frank , and younger brother George . This crew left home the afternoon before their journey began and stayed with grandfather Matthew Gallard and grandmother Susannah . At one am the next morning they boarded a waggon to take the thirty-mile trip to the docks on the river Thames at Gravesend from where they sailed on 11 th August 1838. Accommodation on the ship was divided into three sections, single women, married women with children, and all men. Sheep were penned in one long boat and pigs in the other. During the voyage there was a gale that blew the mainmast overboard and the long boat containing the pigs was overturned. The pigs were soon down in the ladies’ quarters turning over pots and pans and generally making a mess. Soon after the ship passed Cape of Good Hope, and turned into the “Roaring Forties”. They passed through Bass Strait and arrived off South Head in late November 1838, but were blown back out into the Tasman Sea by strong westerlies. The family was very unsettled initially. The first month or so was spent in a rented room in George St North, then a house in Clarence St North, then to the lower end of Liverpool St, where young George died on 2 nd June 1839 (ref. V578-23A). They next went to Surry Hills and then back to Kent St, between Market and King where Susan was born 3 rd May 1840 (ref. V367-24A). Soon after that they moved to Cumberland St, opposite the Women’s Watch House. Later in 1840 they took all their belongings up the Lane Cove river by boat and father Matthew built a hut at Turramurra not far from the road to Bobbin Head. Emma was born here on 23 rd February 1842 (ref. V863-26A) with Mrs Boyde as midwife. They soon moved again further out along Bobbin Head Road, Pymble, then on 1 st January1843 to Pearce’s Corner near Hornsby. By Easter 1843 they were at Thornleigh with father Matthew working for Mr Purchase. Henry ( Harry ) was born at Thornleigh on 17 th October 1844 (ref. V979-30A) with Mrs Duffy assisting as midwife. The brothers Frank and Bob commenced splitting timber shingles and laths for a minimum 18 shillings per week. Pay for lath was 3 shillings per thousand, and shingle was 6 shillings per thousand. The family removed again in 1845 to Fred Harris’ Clear at Pennant Hills where Rosina was born on 12 th July 1846 (ref V405-55). Matthew built a house and Mark was born there on 16 th April 1848 (ref. V1056-33A). Soon after Mark’s birth the family moved to Dural, Oburn’s Farm, and then to Castle Hill, to work for Ned Fuller on West’s Farm in 1849 where Frances was born on 15 th December (ref. V284-35). In January 1850 they moved to Barren Ridge Camp at Epping. Matthew became ill in June 1850 from and died of an enlarged liver on 29 th October 1850 (ref. V305-36A). He had been sawing timber for income and so 15 YO Ted and 17 YO Bob took it in turns to replace their father to work the sawpit with Frank. In 1851 gold was discovered at Ophir (Summer Hill) and by 1852 the Gold Rush had an adverse impact on business and provisions rose in price. In the winter of 1852 Ted went to the diggings to help Frank construct buildings and dig for gold on the side. On their return home they found sawn timber was in great demand so they cut timber again and took it to Sydney for sale, making 46 pounds on one trip and 42 pounds a few weeks later. In early 1853 the 3 brothers bought 12 acres on the east side of North Road [called Victoria Road until about 1878], Marsfield from Tom Small for 6 pounds 10 shillings per acre. About 6 months later they bought another 12 acres of an adjoining block for 8 pounds four shillings per acre from John Bateman. On the 18 th April 1854 (ref V1115-41B) Bob married Elizabeth Bellamy and built a house on the block nearest Ryde. Meanwhile the boys continued to cut timber at Epping, and decided to build a house for mother Frances and their younger siblings on one of the allotments on North Road. They cut timber from their land and had put about 60 pounds into the house before running out of funds. They then went and cut more timber, some from their farm this time and cleared 90 pounds in 4 weeks from making 1,000 wheel fellies. The house was finished and furnished in 1854 and the family moved in. Notes. See photo of Frank and Ted outside the house Page 1 of 6 Edward Gallard – 1835-1914. By:- Neil H Smith 7 th May 2008 Rev 6f 14th January 2018 About 1856 Ted and Frank decided to take another trip to the diggings, prompted by the gold discovery at Stoney Creek. James Hitchcock went with them and they initially took the coach from Parramatta to Penrith and then tramped to Stoney Creek and camped under a blanket on the Wellington Road around 3 rd September 1856 when it snowed. They stayed here for 2-3 months making 3 to 4 pounds per man per week, and decided to head for Kings Plains near Bathurst. They did not stop there instead they trekked via Orange and Blayney to Bathurst then, Goulburn where they arrived at 10:00am. James Hitchcock had to return to Sydney so Ted and Frank took the 9.00pm coach from Goulburn to Yass that arrived at 1:00pm the next day. From there they took a coach to Bowning, and camped at Mother Hanlam’s Hotel. Early the next day they set out for Gundagai, travelling 36 miles before camping overnight completing the next 14 miles to reach Gundagai by 9:00am. The next night was spent on the banks of the Murrumbidgee at the mouth of Adelong Creek and the next day they reached Tarcutta. The following day they crossed the Billabong Creek and camped at the coach terminus 25 miles from Albury. They took a coach again and when they were within 7 miles of Albury they noticed the fields of wheat. After lunch they took the punt across the Murray River walked across the river flats to Wodonga. From here they took a coach to Beechworth arriving about sunset in early December 1856. After breakfast the next day they sent out for Nine Mile (on the Stanley Road), and bought some supplies at Madman’s Gully store. They arrived in Nine Mile that afternoon and stayed about 8 months building an 8ft x 6ft room onto their tent to keep out the winter chill. They ate about a pound of steak each for each meal. 5 pounds was sent home to mother each time they visited Beechworth. Sometime after August 1857 they decided to leave the Ovens River goldfields and join the rush to Mt Ararat goldfields. They were joined by Tom Fleming, whom they had met in the goldfields and travelled via Benalla, crossed the Goulburn River at Murchison, over Mt Pleasant, through Bendigo, crossed the Loddon River, through Carisbrook, Maryborough and finally camped at Mt Pleasant Creek about 4 miles from Stawell. They stayed in this area for 4 months and climbed Mt William in the Grampians for sight seeing on one Sunday. Early in 1858 they returned to the Ovens goldfields the way they had previously come, and were in Beechworth for Franks’ 25 th birthday. On 11 th March 1858 they decided to return to Marsfield, via Melbourne. The steerage passage on SS London was 3 pounds fifteen shillings (excluding bed and blankets) and both men were seasick on the way up the coast. They were home around the 25th March 1858. A year later the 24 YO Edward married 21 YO Miss Sarah Smith on 16 th July 1859/2868 in St Anne’s C of E in Ryde. The minister was George P. Turner and the witnesses were Frank Gallard and Sarah’s sister Hannah Smith. His occupation given on the MC was Sawyer. Sarah was born in the colony on 10 th Nov 1838/V742-22, the daughter of currency lad James Smith and currency lass, Susannah Bellamy. Sarah bore Edward five sons and seven daughters. Three of the children were born in Pennant Hills where Edward went to work for five years from about 1867 to 1872. Granny Gallard (Sarah Smith) is remembered by her grandaughters for the little white drawstring bags she made for them. They also recall her wearing long dark dresses and a little bonnet. She had beautiful crochet pieces all over the furniture in her house. Notes. See photo of Edward Gallard, and Sarah Gallard with daughters Grace and Alice.

Fairfax did not announce it quite as bluntly as that, instead describing its action within the context of a “business improvement plan”. It sent an email to all its employees, announcing “a major restructure of corporate and group services and significant initiatives to improve the overall productivity and performance of many of our businesses”. John Lyons, a former Fairfax editor, and Caroline Overington reported (Australian, 27 August 2008, pp.1-2): “Fairfax Media is abandoning quality journalism at its flagship newspapers, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age, according to staff who yesterday rejected a company plan to shed 550 jobs. Chief executive David Kirk and his deputy Brian McCarthy told the Australian Stock Exchange and newspaper staff via email yesterday that Fairfax hoped to save $50 million by cutting the jobs in Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand – 5 per cent of its full- time workforce.” The company‟s metropolitan newspapers recorded a 9 per cent drop in profit in 2007-08.

  • The Tfm Act : Early Days Leading to a 99 Year Centenary
    The Law Society of New South Wales Elder law and Succession Committee Seminar 14 October 2015 (Panel Discussion ) THE TFM ACT : EARLY DAYS LEADING TO A 99 YEAR CENTENARY By Justice Geoff Lindsay INTRODUCTION 1 In advertising a seminar, as a panel discussion of the question “100 years of Family Provision – Have we gone too far?”, the Law Society of New South Wales defined the subject matter of the seminar as follows: “It is 100 years since the Testator’s Family Maintenance and Guardianship of Infants Act 1916 was introduced, making provision for disappointed beneficiaries. The original Act was limited in its application.” Significant changes include: ° the extension of persons for whom provision can be made ° the concept of notional estate making it possible to claw back assets disposed of during one’s lifetime ° the greater complexity of families and estate assets The questions we ask on the 100 year Centenary are: ° how did we get Family Provision? ° how has Family Provision changed since it started? ° has provision for disappointed beneficiaries gone too far? ° what does Family Provision not achieve? ° should there be an alternative to Family Provision?” 2 The present paper offers an introductory insight into the first question (“How did we get Family Provision?”), together with a description of the first judgments under the Testator’s Family Maintenance and Guardianship of Infants Act 1916 NSW (“the TFM Act ”). 1 THE PASSAGE OF THE TFM ACT, WITH RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT 3 The TFM Act passed both Houses of the Parliament of New South Wales on 7 September 2016, and received Royal Assent on 18 September 1916; but so much of the Act as authorised the Supreme Court of NSW to make an order for provision out of a deceased estate applied (by virtue of section 3(1) of the Act) to “… any person… dying or having died since the seventh day of October, 1915”.

  • A Reader's Shelf
    2 3 A READER’S SHELF Compiled by J. L. HERRERA 4 To the Memory of Michele Turner Oral historian, writer, activist, special person And with Special Thanks to Bronwen Meredith, Madge Portwin, Ken Herrera, Penny Parish, Joyce Keam, David Goodrick and Rob Rands Introduction It took nearly five years to be borne in on me that publishers simply weren’t very interested in my views on books. Strictly speaking, there is no reason why they should be. Suburban housewives occasionally acquire a moment of fame—but very rarely for their views on books. I wrote A Writer’s Calendar principally for my mother—though, sadly, she died only days before the bound manuscript reached her—and A Book Circle began as the overflow from the first book. But this book, though it too is partly overflow, is simply a labour of love, a place to let off steam, pages to explore ideas ... It is mine and if anyone else should wish to browse in it, then they must excuse a certain degree of self-indulgence. Along the way I have come upon various bits of information which would have fitted nicely into the earlier books; such as Vance Palmer’s memories of meeting the notorious Frank Harris or this little bit on how Brian O’Nolan came to use the name Myles na Gopaleen, ‘O’Nolan borrowed the name from a character in Gerald Griffin’s novel, The Collegians (1829). It means Myles of the ponies’. But it is rather like writing a biography; at some point you have to say ‘finis’ even though new and fascinating information is almost certainly still out there for the collecting.

  • 2. a Journo in Sydney
    2. A Journo in Sydney My father decided that I should do something serious about a career in journalism and, with a family contact, Roger Davis, a senior journalist on The Daily Telegraph, he contacted Mark Gallard, the then Editor-in-Chief of Truth and Sportsman, publishers of the Daily Mirror. I managed to get a job as an office boy at the Sydney headquarters in Hosking Place in the city. I was often instructed to take several bottles of champagne to the fashionable restaurant Romano’s, for the Mirror’s proprietor, Ezra Norton, and his luncheon guests. Cigarettes were in short supply after the war and one had to be ‘in the know’ with a cigarette vendor. I would be sent off to a kiosk in Clarence Street on a regular basis to collect Mr Norton’s cigarettes. None of this was a great learning experience, except that I got to know the Sydney CBD, before I cracked a job in the reading room at the Truth and Sportsman’s editorial headquarters in Kippax Street, Surry Hills. John Norton was one of the most colourful figures in the history of Australian journalism. Born in 1858 in Brighton, Sussex, he migrated to Australia in 1884, settling in Sydney. Despite bouts of drunkenness, he became a successful journalist and built up the newspaper Truth—at various stages published in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. The Australian Dictionary of Biography says that Norton senior introduced a sensational form of abuse of many figures in authority in the pages of Truth, from Queen Victoria (‘flabby, fat and flatulent’) to local councillors, especially the raving ‘wowsers’—a word he claimed to have coined.

He worked then asa jackaroo, travelling exten­ sively in outback Australia — and finally, with £5 in his pocket, he decided to become a journalist, thus unwittingly following in the footsteps of three generations of Whitingtons. The story of his youth is told with a lively humour that laughs at himself and laughs with others. Whitington brought to his profession a sense of justice and compassion, a keen sense of humour and an eye for the ridiculous. One of the longest serving members of the Can­ berra Press Gallery, he met and mixed with people from all walks of life, with poli­ ticians and journalists of all persuasions and abilities. His comments on some of the events and personalities of his times are candid, and pointed. This book is a lively, racy, informed and enjoyable story of a man who graced his profession.

    The staff and paper boys of the Bendigo Advertiser were photographed outside the Bendigo Independent building in 1918. The Independent, which began publication on 1 January 1862 and was issued daily throughout its life, ceased publication on 30 November 1918, a few weeks after the end of the Great War, announcing: “The Bendigo Independent Proprietary Limited, having purchased the property and publishing rights of the Bendigo Advertiser, the Independent will after today cease to be published as a separate newspaper.” Because the Advertiser was “its senior by half a score of years” (eight years three weeks, in fact), the Advertiser title was retained for the amalgamated daily journals. The Independent’s offices and “valuable printing plant” were from 4 February 1919 used to produce the Advertiser.
