240 Wheeler, Mary 21 Mr Cuningham Sussex-street - ditto 10 - -
151 Lagremore, Margaret 25 - her brother, Mr. Walkeer[sic] Sussex-street, ditto    
  • HALLEN, EDWARD 1803-1880: ARCHITECT- Meanwhile the government was becoming dissatisfied with Ambrose’s preoccupation with affairs outside his office. Mitchell, who wanted Mortimer Lewis to become colonial architect, so arranged matters that Ambrose had little choice but to resign, which he did in 1835, and after this his social and business interests began to multiply. He became a director of the Fire and Life Assurance Co. in 1836, a member of the Royal Exchange Co. in 1837, a director of the Australian Gas Light Co. in the same year, and a director of the Australian Auction Co. in 1840. He also had an interest in the Steam Mill, Sussex Street, Sydney, and owned a station property. He was living at Veteran Hall, Prospect, when a daughter was born to his wife in 1843.
  • HARRISON, Jane. Convict assigned to : 1837 With Master Handley Jabez, Publican of the Horse and Jockey Inn, Sussex Street, Sydney
  • HUTCHINS ( HITCHINGS, HITCHINS) HANNAH LIVED with HENRY SAMUELS who worked as a CARTER.
  • LIVERPOOL - MUCKLE, George George MUCKLE built a flour mill on the Campbelltown Road c1840, 2.4 kilometres from Liverpool. The mill was described as capable of grinding ten bushels per hour when it was advertised for sale or let in June 1841. Particulars could be obtained by post from George Muckle c/- of Liverpool Post office, or Henry HOUGH, millwright of Sussex street, Sydney. It seems probable that HOUGH built the windmill for MUCKLE
  • NICHOLS FAMILY Charles and Margaret Nichols’ first child, Susannah, was born on 11 April 1829 at Fig Tree Point, Middle Harbour, near Sydney. At Sussex Street, not far from Kellick’s Wharf, two sons were born, John in 1831 and Charles in 1833. *( NOTE THE importance of wharves in Sussex Street. Could also factor in with the sailing aspect of the KENDALLS ) Ann was born in June 1835 at Middle Harbour and baptised on 14 February 1836. Charles applied to buy land at Fig Tree Point in 1836 but was unsuccessful. The family returned to Sussex Street where Joseph was born. He was baptised on 13 May 1838.
  • JAMES STEWART : Ex-convict sailmaker. Business in Sussex Street
  • JOHN STRUTH : Left Barkers flour mill and opened an engineering workshop. Struth was a Scot.
  • JOHN VERGE : Verge’s activities as a farmer seem not to have been spectacularly successful at first, though he had built up a considerable practice as architect and builder; on 24 July 1831 because of the paucity of skilled architects, he was invited by Governor Darling, unavailingly, to tender for government contracts. Verge had bought land on the site of 346 Sussex Street in February 1831 and he built his house there immediately afterwards. Most of his architectural work in Sydney appears to have been done between 1830 and 1837, when he retired to Lyndhurst Vale and later to Austral Eden.

MCGARVIES AND SYDNEY IN 1800s

Posted by nellibell49 on February 26, 2008

 

These people represent the early publishing section of Sydney. They include the one woman Anne Howe .

There are members of the Presbyterian, Anglican and Methodist churches connected with the early papers. Convict and Free settlers. If John McGarvie were minister at Basil and Melinda’s marriage , there is at least the possibility of their being in some form of contact with this literary network which was based in the inner city of Sydney.

Another influence which appears in this group is the Temperance Movement ( most often associated with Wesleyan Methodism) . Mansfield and O’Shaughnessy both appear decadent in liquor in their youth then preacher and editor. Could again be a connection as early as the 1830s.

Note also McGarvies’ concern for the interests of the Australian Born,
