Parkes hosts an annual "Elvis" festival, which commemorates Elvis Presley's birthday, each January, which brings in tourism, thereby boosting the local economy. Sir Henry Parkes was born on 27 May 1815 in Canley, Coventry & christened in the nearby village of Stoneleigh. His father, Thomas Parkes, was a small-scale tenant farmer. Little is known about his mother, who died in 1842. He received little schooling, & at an early age was working on a ropewalk for 4 pence a day. His next work was in a brickyard, describing it as "breaking stones on the Queen's highway with hardly enough clothing to protect him from the cold". He was then apprenticed to John Holding, a bone & ivory turner at Birmingham, & around 1832 joined the Birmingham political union. Between then & 1838 he was associated with the political movements that aimed to improve living & working conditions for the working classes. As a young adult, Parkes educated himself by reading extensively, & also developed an interest in poetry. In 1835, he wrote poems (later included in his first volume of poems) that were addressed to Clarinda Varney, the daughter of a local butler. On 11 July 1836 he married Clarinda Varney & went to live in a single room home. Parkes commenced business on his own account in Birmingham & had a bitter struggle to make ends meet. After the loss of their two children at an early age & a few unsuccessful weeks living in London, Parkes & his wife emigrated to New South Wales.[citation needed] They travelled aboard the “Strathfieldsaye”, which arrived at Sydney on 25 July 1839. Another child was born two days before. On arrival they had only a few shillings between them & had to sell their belongings as Parkes looked for work. He was eventually employed as a labourer with John Jamison, one of the colony's wealthiest settlers, on the Regentville estate near Penrith. He was paid £25 a year & food rations. After spending six months at Regentville, he returned to Sydney & worked in various low-paying jobs, first with an ironmongery store & then with a firm of engineers & brass-founders. About a year after his arrival in Sydney, Parkes was hired by the New South Wales Customs Department as a Tide Waiter & given the task of inspecting merchant vessels to guard against smuggling. He had been recommended for this post by Jamison's son-in-law, William John Gibbes, who was the manager of Regentville & the son of Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes who led the Customs Department.[citation needed] Parkes' financial position improved due to his stable new government job, even though he was still burdened with a backlog of undischarged debts. Parkes continued to write poetry. A volume entitled Stolen Moments was published in Sydney in 1842. He met the poet Charles Harpur & William Augustine Duncan, the editor of a local newspaper; he mentions in his Fifty Years of Australian History, that these two men became his "chief advisers in matters of intellectual resource". In early 1846, he left the Customs Department after a disagreement with Colonel Gibbes over a press leak that concerned the alleged behaviour of one of Parkes' co-workers. Despite this, Parkes would continue to remain on friendly terms with Gibbes & his family for the rest of his life. Gibbes' grandson, Frederick Jamison Gibbes, was also a member of the Parliament of New South Wales in the 1880s & like Parkes became a supporter of federation.[citation needed] After his departure from the Customs Service, Parkes worked in the private sector. He worked as an ivory & bone turner & later ran a shop of his own in Hunter Street. At one stage, he owned several newspapers, including The People's Advocate & New South Wales Vindicator & Empire. He was not successful as a businessman & eventually went bankrupt after running up debts totaling £48,500. He continued to support Australian culture & published poetry in his newspapers. Sir Henry became a dominant political figure in Australia during the second half of the 19th century, often called the father of Australian federation. He served five terms as Premier of New South Wales between 1872 & 1891. Parkes became politically prominent in 1849 as a spokesman for ending the transportation of convicts to Australia from England. The following year he launched the Empire, a newspaper he ran until 1858 & through which he campaigned for a fully representative government. He first held public office in 1854 & served almost without interruption as a representative & often as a minister or premier until 1894. Parkes’s educational work resulted in the Public Schools Act of 1866 & the Public Instruction Act of 1880, which introduced compulsory free education & severed connections between the church & the public schools. In his ministries between 1872 & 1887 he established New South Wales as a free-trade colony. He was knighted in 1877. In his fourth administration (1887–89) he carried through measures to improve railways & public works & to limit Chinese immigration. Parkes first spoke for federation in 1867 & later presided over the National Australasian Convention in 1891. He withdrew support from the resulting Commonwealth of Australia Bill, however, & federation was postponed until 1901. After the elections of 1891 Parkes lost his position of political leadership. His autobiography, Fifty Years in the Making of Australian History, appeared in 1892. (Thanks to WikiPedia,Encyclopaedia Brittanica & Henry Walter Barnett for the above information) Parkes celebrated Coventry in 2015 Kingston, Jamaica, 1962 Kingston is the capital of Jamaica and has a population of 651,880.

Therein lay its attraction for men from the educated lower middle orders of British society with limited means. Charles Nicholson once remarked that one factor making life in the Colony tolerable was the opportunity given to every individual of quality to affect the course of history.1 Few immigrants could boast of their lineage but most aspired to be recognised as gentlemen. As a group they accepted unguestioningly the familiar ideology of the British aristocracy and aimed to form the landed elite of a similarly hierarchical society. They could not replicate that aristocracy's antiquity, wealth, or acceptance, to some extent, of its claims by the rest of society. While as the Rev. Ralph Mansfield testified in 1845: "Nearly all the respectable portion of our community, whatever their legitimate profession . are in some sense farmers and graziers'^ a few colonists could remember when even the oldest of the 'ancient nobility' were landless. The aspirant gentry were 'go getters' on the make and while some had been imbued with notions of leadership, command and social responsiblity during service careers as a group they lacked the British aristocracy's sense of obligation and service.

[email protected] Hordern House recently received the wonderful library of Dr Robert Edwards AO, and over the next year or two we will be offering the library for sale. Bob is one of the great figures of Australian cultural history, at different times working as a leading anthropologist, a central figure in the study of indigenous art, a museum director and a driving force behind many of the international blockbuster art shows to travel to Australia. His early training as an anthropologist saw him doing fieldwork in remote Australia, and led to him becoming a museum curator in the 1960s and 70s. He was the founding director of the Australia Council’s Aboriginal Arts Board, perhaps most famous for its support of the Papunya Tula artists. He was the Director of the Museum of Victoria from 1984-90, the founding chairman of the National Museum of Australia and the founding chairman of the National Portrait Gallery. He has also for many years been the chief executive of Art Exhibitions Australia which brought to Australia significant exhibitions, including the Entombed Warriors from China (1982), Claude Monet (1985), Van Gogh (1993) and Rembrandt (1997). Bob is an ardent bibliophile, and his Library reflects the discerning taste of a knowledgeable and educated collector. Some books are of such rarity that they are known in only a handful of copies, and his collection embraces early Australian printing, early works on the Australian Aborigines, the major early voyage accounts, as well as works on early settlement and inland exploration.

The year 1813 proving extremely dry, the grass was nearly all destroyed, and the water failed; the horned cattle suffered severely from this drought, and died in great numbers.

  • The Registry Books Are Approximately
    THETHE REGISTRYREGISTRY BOOKSBOOKS Page 2 Clifton Street Cemetery One of the most historically interesting facets of any burying ground are, without doubt, its registry books. Although the New Burying Ground was opened in 1797, it was not until 1831 that the Belfast Charitable Society began to keep a registry of all interments. It is unknown why they did not keep a registry from the beginning, but one reason may be that they were more interested in making money to finance the poor-house through the selling of the graves, than to worry about recording who was being buried in them. However at a meeting held in the poor-house on the 18th of December 1830 it was: Resolved -that a registry of all the interments in the Burying Ground of the Charitable Society be kept from the commencement of the next year, and that the Rev. Messrs Macartney and Hicks be requested to have a suitable book prepared for the purpose. The first burial recorded was on the 4th of January, 1831. However, the exact number of people buried in the burying ground before that will never be known. At a rough estimate it could be guessed that around 3,600 burials could have taken place before 1831. That is if up to 100 people had been buried per year, which was below the average amount of burials taking place throughout the 1830s. The figures shown in the three volumes of the registry books are approximately: Volume 1 1831-1841, 2,640 Volume 2 1841-1864, 5,489 Volume 3 1865-1984, 3,109 Add on the pre-1831 figures and the number of those buried in the New Burying Ground could be as high as 14,000.

  • Archaeological Reality. Excavations at Regentville, Penrith, New South
    AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 4,1986 Historical Reality: Archaeological Reality. Excavations at Regentville, Penrith, New South Wales, 1985 GRAHAM CONNAH Historical archaeology has the potential to explain archaeologicalprocess, as well as the capacity to add to the historical record. In this paper, the author, who is Professor ofPrehistory and Archaeology at the University of New England, discusses excavations conducted in 1985 at Regentville, near Penrith, west of Sydney. This work was carried out in conjunction with Judy Birmingham of the University ofSydney and the analysis ofevidence from the site is still in progress. Regentville is the site ofan imposing country mansion that formed the nucleus ofan agricultural estate ofthe 1820s to 1840s. The present paper contrasts the extensive historical record that exists for this site, with the relatively meagre archaeological one. It is suggested that the site has more to tell us about the way archaeological sites form, than about the life and times of Sir John Jamison. who lived there. INTRODUCTION The study of historical archaeology in Australia has usually been justified by the belief that archaeological evidence can supplement the historical record. Because of this belief, there has been little attempt to ask the sort of anthropologically­ oriented questions that have been increasingly addressed by historical archaeologists in the United States of America. There has also been little interest in using historical archaeo­ logical data as a means of testing methods and theories belonging to the overall discipline of archaeology. Thus, there appears to be no Australian equivalent, in either particular or general terms, to the classic study by Deetz and Dethlefsen,' in which the archaeological technique of seriation was assessed by reference to seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth-century American gravestones.
