CHECK THIS PAGE FOR DRAFTWORK OF PETER’S THESIS	THE LIFE HISTORY OF MELINDA KENDALL THROUGH HER WRITINGS

JANE KENDALL AND CAROLINE CHISHOLM

 

CHRISTINA JANE – BORN in 1842 Kirmington Ulladulla. Eldest daughter of Melinda and Basil.

is purported to have at one time taught in a school of Caroline Chisholm’s. She is also ‘said to’ have taught with her mother in Sydney and in Fernhill on the Illawarra. ( detailed entry later). For today, I am seeking information on CAROLINE CHISHOLM. I suspect that the sisters of 2 generations have been overlooked (in favour of the male family members) i.e :

• McNALLYS – MARY , ELIZA AND SARAH. (What happened to baby John ? )

 

• KENDALLS – CHRISTINA JANE, MARY JOSEPHINE (also a teacher who married Mr Yates in Port Macquarie where she was a teacher at Mrs Halloran’s School) and EDITH EMILY.

The A.B.C. of Colonization: In a Series of Letters (1850) Author: Caroline Chisholm , Anthony Ashley Cooper Shaftesbury Publisher: John Ollivier Year: 1850 http://www.archive.org/details/abccolonization00shafgoog	GOULBURN NSW Take a wander down Grafton Street and you’ll see a bright red letterbox that was installed in 1859. The high mail slot was so that people on horses could post their letters without having to dismount. Goulburn Public School, in Bourke Street, was opened by Sir Henry Parkes (the father of Federation) who was then the President of the Education Department, in 1868. Caroline Chisholm’s Immigration Barracks were in the school grounds until they were demolished (despite numerous protests by historians) by the Education Department in the 1970’s. Caroline Chisholm, one of the most remarkable Australian women during the first half of the 19th century, would meet every immigrant ship as it berthed in Sydney so that she could organise employment for the girls in country areas.
EXTRACT FROM INTERNET ARCHIVE SEARCH.	Caroline Chisholm led the way in the campaign to establish the working class family in 1847. She advised the British government that if they wanted to establish a “good and great people” they must appreciate that: For all the clergy you can despatch, all the schoolmasters you can ap­point, all the churches you can build, and all the books you can export, will never do much good without what a gentleman in that Colony very appropriately called ‘God’s police’ – wives and little children – good and virtuous women.[i] [i] Summers op. cit., p. 291 FROM The Poverty of Patriarchy Theory By Sandra Bloodworth ________________________ GOD’S WILLING WORKERS _______________________ Agents of Empire By Lisa Chilton

A government town had been planned by 1829 and substantial administrative buildings were erected. The government town was proclaimed as Maitland in 1833. When the other settlement became known as West Maitland in 1834 confusion arose. As a result the boundaries were clarified and the names East Maitland and West Maitland were adopted in 1835. The combined population the following year was 1163. The three neighbouring villages became an important focus of the river trade with a regular river steamer service operating along the Lower Hunter to Newcastle. Caroline Chisholm founded one of her Female Emigrants’ Homes at East Maitland in 1842. The Maitland Mercury was established in 1843, making it one of the oldest surviving Australian newspapers.

SOME months ago, adverting to the intention of Mrs. Chisholm to visit the neighbouring colony of Victoria, we drew the consideration of the Tasmanian colonists to the advantage which would accrue to the best interests of this island from sending to that benevolent and influential lady a special letter of invitation, requesting her to visit Tasmania before her return to Europe, for the purpose of forming an estimate of tile eligibility of this colony for the settlement of British emigrants, and, more particularly, in order that she might disabuse her mind, ,by means of actual experience, of the scandalous misapprehensions under which she has hitherto laboured with regard to our religious and social condition,   _________________________ http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article695309 The Maitland Mercury… Saturday 6 April 1850 MRS.

SOME NAVAL BEGINNINGS.

FROM THE ARGUS. SAT 12 JULY 1919.

Macquarie was as insistent as Phillip about the need for two vessels for the Service of the colony, but he asked that they should not be subject to Admiralty control. Two armed brigs, the Emu and the Kangaroo, were bought in 1812. The Emu was captured on the way out by the American privateer Holkar, which carried 137 men to the Emu’s 22. The Kangaroo reached Sydney safely, and on March 12, .1815, a second Emu arrived.

SHIPS – THE EMU

There are a number of ships called EMU and due to the nature of the name they are not particularly easy to find online. Les Johnston is researching the Brig EMU under Lt Forster ( see Comments). It is reported to have been attacked by aboriginals in 1815 near ALBANY WA. Does anyone know more about this ship ? Here are a few snippets which I think refer to the EMU of 1815. Hope they might help a little Les but haven’t found anything about the attack at Albany as yet:

The first EMU noted here is the ship whose former ‘passengers’ were sent in 1814 to Australia on BROXBORNEBURY. The second seems to be the EMU which is active in 1815 and appears then to have been wrecked off the AFRICAN Coast. Commander Lt Forster.
