MARY AND WILLIAM MCNALLY AND THEIR LAND GRANTS

According to Mrs Hamilton-Grey,or,as Izzy calls her Fotherington-Smythe , William and Mary received land grants at Bellambi. She claims that these are in some way associated with their being born in England. They are the eldest two children and as yet we haven’t found evidence of the grants nor of what they were associated with. Mrs HG speculates on the possibility of their being connected with the Military Service of their father Patrick. Other possibilities which have so far arisen are:

• THEY MIGHT BE THE CHILDREN OF A FORMER MARRIAGE OF JUDITH. E.G AS MCDERMOTT
• THEY COULD BE FAMILY GRANTS
• THIS MIGHT BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. EG. IN THE CASE OF THE BELLS OF TWEED WHERE 2 SONS AND ONE SISTER RECEIVED GRANTS WHILE VERY YOUNG.

Below is an extract from BACK TO BELLAMBI AND CORRIMAL. 1980.  by SYD LONG. ( This is from a photocopy whose origins I do not know. Apologies right now if used without permission and appreciation to whoever passed it on to us )

In this article , it says that JAMES MARTIN was granted the 50 acres in 1830. James was the husband of Mary. If Mrs HGs facts are correct then James claims the land which was his wife’s, sells it and leaves her never to be seen again.  I shall add some of her writing which includes information gathered locally and from Elders of the Area.

IS THIS THE TIME AND PLACE MELINDA WRITES OF IN HER POEM: BELLAMBI’S LAKE?  The time when the McNallys have at least 100 acres of land in what is reputed to be a beautiful place. After servitude and criminal investigations - does the McNally family come here and stand before a future they cannot yet envision ?

MUSTERS AND CENSUSES AND ARCHIVES ! AAH !

NEW ENGLAND REGIONAL ARCHIVES - ARMIDALE.

THIS IS THE HERITAGE CENTRE. UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND. C.B. NEWLING CAMPUS. ARMIDALE NSW. 2351. TEL. 02 67736555

FROM THE FILES AT THE CLARENCE  HISTORY SOCIETY AND UNE REGIONAL ARCHIVES WE HAVE SOME MUSTER AND CENSUS DETAILS. Mr William Oates in Armidale brought us in from the cold of Armidale in Winter and introduced us to the Archives held there as well as explaining what he could and accessing files for us. William told us that Armidale and Grafton had a strange relationship. Finding a way from the New England down to the Clarence created an interesting dynamic then as it does today.  William took us upstairs to the Stack. It included a 15th century document found in a shearing shed on the New England. He wished us well on the Clarence and we had hoped to find ledgers or station books for Gordon Brook or Bushy Park which didn’t happen - YET. We were however able to access , in both towns , various papers , books and documents. Includijng the Musters and Census. McNally turned out to have even more spelling variants than we had so far considered.

MARY MCNALLY

Mary is the first born child of PATRICK AND JUDITH. Believed to have been born in Ireland or Canada in app 1808 when her father was a soldier in the 100 regiment. It appears that she returned from Canada to England with her mother and brother William following the court martial of the father Patrick McNally on October 31 1812. In England another child was born - Eliza. The three children sailed to NSW on the Broxbornebury with their mother Judith whilst Patrick was transported on the Surrey I - sentenced to Life as a deserter ( we await those papers from Canada).

In 1814 she is on the Muster as living with her family in Sydney. They would have been newly arrived on the Broxbornebury and their father a convicted deserter sentenced to LIFE. Mary then was about 5 years old. By the next year they are at Pitt Town where Melinda was born.

In 1822 she is on the Muster as being with her parents in Windsor and in the 1823-25 Muster is with her family in Kent Street Sydney. The McNallys took up residence in Kent Street Sydney in the 1820s. We know now that Patrick was working as a carter. Melinda was at The Rev Richard Hill as a servant ( and lucky she didn’t have her skirts go up in flames as did many other wee servant lasses according to the Sydney Herald of 1831). Mary is listed in that Muster as being born in the Colony BC which she was not. ( I need another sighting of that Muster before I confirm that one ) She was app 17 then and the daughter of Judith.

By the 1828 census, Mary is resident with James Martin also in Kent Street and listed as HOUSEKEEPER. She is a Catholic girl aged 19.

She is said to have married JAMES MARTIN in 1833 and they had 8 children. Hello all MARTIN descendants. CAN YOU FILL IN SOME OF THE HOLES ?  The Martins then had a property in the Wollongong area adjoining the property of Patrick McNally (Melinda and Mary’s father ) Mary is believed to have died as MARY MARTIN in app 1857 aged 50 years.

 

1. V183381 129/1833
   MARTIN , JAMES marries MCNALLY , ELLEN. seems likely to be Mary as the date is 1833 and the marriage takes place in St Marys Roman catholic parish.
