Hidden History of Banking
Hidden History of Banking 65 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000 GPO Box 3947, Sydney NSW 2001 Regulations of the New South Wales Saving Bank ... To which is prefixed a plain address to convicts on their arrival ... Sydney, printed by G. Howe Government Printer, 1819. Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW Notable Convicts The Reserve Bank of Australia is a custodian of colonial records, including records that document money belonging to convicts. Although convicts transported to New South Wales are often portrayed as penniless, they usually arrived in the colony with sums of money. Convicts were encouraged to lodge their money in one of the colony’s banks. In a pamphlet titled Address to convicts on their arrival …, Barron Field, Judge of the Supreme Court, offered the advice: ‘Many of you bring small Sums of Money from England, your own Savings or the Bounty of your Friends … Instead of trusting those Sums to any private Individual, you are recommended to place them in the public Saving Bank, at Mr Robert Campbell’s, senior, Merchant, in George-street, Sydney …’ Name Mary Ann Conway Age 20 years of age upon arrival in NSW Religion Roman Catholic Complexion Fair, ruddy and pockmarked skin Hair & eyes Brown hair and light blue eyes Particular marks or scars A raised dark mole on the right side of her chin and a scar on the back right side of her neck Calling Needle woman and house maid Education Able to read and write Where convicted Tried in Limerick, Ireland for stealing a cloak When convicted 1 January 1836 Sentence Transported to New South Wales for seven years; arrived on the ship Thomas Harrison, in 1836 Savings Deposited 2 pounds, 10 shillings and 7 pence in the Savings Bank of New South Wales. -

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. -

The original house was built by architect Frank Dixon in 1978 on top of a 15-metre tall concrete pole. The location provided commanding 360-degree views of one of the state's most popular stretches of coastline. However, the tiny 8x8 metre timber structure was no mansion. In fact, the original house was quite uncomfortable. None of the windows opened, so it got hot and stuffy in summer, and people sitting by the old fireplace in winter had their backs to the view. New owners Raymond and Kathi Adams purchased the property in 2005 for $1.75 million. Last year (2013) the original house was demolished and replaced by a similar-sized, architect-designed, steel-clad house on the same platform. The new house features retractable floor-to-ceiling windows, a perimeter walkway with a glassed balustrade, and a floating fireplace in the living area. -
Reading Convict Life-Narratives of Van Diemen's Land

Signed, Ruth Thomas 18 March 2008 ii iii Abstract: “According to the fair play of the world let me have audience”: Reading Convict Life-Narratives of Van Diemen’s Land. This thesis examines published convict life-narratives of Van Diemen’s Land. I analyse eighteen self-referential accounts of convictism, written by male transportees and published in Britain, Ireland, America or Australia during the nineteenth century. I scrutinise how convict authors gained access to public autobiographical space and how they negotiated an authoritative speaking position within that space. My approach follows the precedent of autobiography theorists like Gillian Whitlock, Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson, who encourage readers of life-narrative to understand self-referential writing as an historically situated conversation between the personal and the public. -

The cheerful sun from thee is barr’d Thy only solace is a tear Thy prison-seat, a cold, damp stone Thy dwelling-place, a murky cave Give me, kind fate, a better home. That place of rest- a silent grave.1 For Mary Rose and other female prisoners held in Britain’s late eighteenth-century gaols (jails), death may have seemed preferable to the overcrowded prison ships to which they were confined. -

A social network analysis framework is applied to the transactions to disclose business networks and prominent individuals in the networks. The analysis seeks to ascertain the importance of these people to commerce and the significance of their networks in facilitating commercial relationships in a business environment fraught with uncertainty. The results illustrate the importance of networks to colonial trade and mercantile activity, especially for smaller scale businesspeople.aehr_348 Keywords 1817, records, colonial, networks, banking, sydney, 24, business Disciplines Business | Social and Behavioral Sciences Publication Details Johns, L. & Ville, S.

An Historic Cemetery
The “SANDHILLS” An Historic Cemetery. A paper read before the Royal Australian Historical Society October 29, 1918. In the Sydney Gazette, of Saturday, January 22, 1820, may be seen the following announcement:— “Circumstances arising out of the nature and qual ity of the ground heretofore used as a place of Burial, within the Town of Sydney, rendering it offensive to the inhabitants in the neighbourhood: it has been deem ed expedient to discontinue it for that purpose altogether, and that a place not liable to similar objections should beselected of anextent proportioned to the Increase of the Population. For that purpose His Excellency the Governor has lately caused a spacious Burial Ground to be prepared and enclosed with awall, situated at a short distance beyond the Brickfields, which is hence forthonly tobe used as a place of Interment for the ac commodation ofthe Inhabitantsof the Town and neigh bourhood of Sydney. Previous, however, to its being made a Place of Interment, the ground thus appropriated for this Solemn and Sacred purpose will be consecrated by the Reverend the Principal Chaplain, which Ceremony stands appointed to take place on Thursday next, the 27th instant, whenDivine Service will be performed at the Church of St. Phillip’s, Sydney, atthe hour of eleven in the forenoon; and it is further notified, ordered, and 154 The Royal Australian Historical Society. directed, that from and after the 28th instant, all Fune rals are totake place at the said new Burial Ground, and that from henceforth the Old Burial Ground, which has been enclosed with a wall, will be totally closed up, and no further access suffered to be had thereto for Purposes of Interment.
