• Obituary: 15 Aug 1896, Ovens and Murray Advertiser, Beechworth, Victoria; Obituary.-The death roll of old district residents has received an addition by the passing away on Wednesday morning of Mr. William Dale, of Wangaratta, who for many years past has been identified with that town and neighborhood, both as a farmer and as the proprietor of an extensive butchering establishment. Mr. Dale was a native of Bathurst, in New South Wales, where he was born on the 10th of February, 1819, so that he was in his 78th year at the time of his death. He was educated at Parramattta, and after passing through an active youthful time he was engaged on a station at Blogalara. In 1852, just before the occurrence of the great flood at Gundagai, he came over to Victoria, bringing with him 75 horses and 127, head of cattle, which he sold in Melbourne to a Mr. Payne, and some idea may be formed of the alteration in values which has since take place when it is mentioned that the price paid for the stock was at the rate of 12s. 6d. per head. Bendigo was just then the great attraction, and thither Mr. Dale, in company with his brother, repaired. They had two very prosperous years, at the end of which Mr. Dale betook himself to Sydney, but did not long remain in the New South Wales metropolis. Coming overland to Victoria he stopped at Wangaratta, and engaged first in cattle dealing and then in farming. He was a purchaser of a farm at Oxley at the first land sale, and built on it a residence for his brother, who subsequently died there. In 1853 Mr. Dale settled in Wangaratta, in the vicinity of which he acquired about a thousand acres, of which he leased some 200 acres, the balance being utilised for grazing purposes in connection with the large butchering business which he successfully carried on in the town. Mr. Dale was married in Sydney to Miss Anne Berringer, and leaves a family of four sons and two daughters, all of whom are married. It will he seen that the life of the deceased was an active and adventurous one. In fact, Mr. Dale was one of the third party who followed Stewart's exploration from Sydney to Hobson's Bay, and we might mention many episodes in his career tending to show the spirit of active, energetic enterprise by which he was animated in his earlier and more vigorous years. Latterly he was attacked by severe illness, and to this he succumbed, after a life full of usefulness, on Wednesday. Deceased was very much respected by all who knew him. For many years he was a member of the Wangaratta Borough Council, and for ten or twelve years was a justice of the peace. He always took an active interest in the welfare of the Wangaratta Turf Club, and other local institutions derived benefit from his support. Nor was it only in temporal and material matters that he found a field for his well directed energy. He was a consistent member of the Church of England, and was one of the guardians of Holy Trinity Church. He was a member of the Masonic body, and in other directions Mr. Dale's death will leave a gap which will not readily be filled. The funeral will take place to-morrow ( Friday) afternoon.

• Obituary: 24 Dec 1892, Ovens and Murray Advertiser Beechworth, Victoria; DEATH OF MRS. ANN DALE. On Tuesday one of Wangaratta's oldest and most respected residents passed away, namely, Mrs Ann Dale, wife of Mr William Dale, J.P., Templeton Street, after a lingering illness of considerable duration. The deceased lady had been suffering from a cancer or tumor, and sometime back underwent a surgical operation; but being far advanced in years, although she bore up against the trying ordeal it ultimately proved unavailing, for she gradually declined in strength, became paralysed towards the end, and passed gently away on Tuesday afternoon, at the ripe age of 72 years. Mrs Dale came to Wangaratta with her husband 40 years since. She remained in Wangaratta from that time, and reared a much respected family of four sons and three daughters, of whom Messrs. Albert, Harry S. and John Dale, and Mrs Rowland Vincent are well-known; another son, William, and a married daughter have been away from the district for some years, and the third daughter died some time ago. Mrs Dale was a native of Kissing- point, on the Paramatta River, New South Wales, about 12 miles from Sydney, her mother before her being also a native of that colony, so that the deceased lady could boast of belonging to the earliest of pioneer stock in Australia, and good stock too. Captain Bradley (in his time so well and favorably-known as head pilot in Port Jackson) being her uncle, with many other prominent relatives. Having been married in St. John's Church, Parramatta, on 21st December 1840, the deceased lady would have seen the fifty second anniversary of her wedding day had she lived nine hours longer, so that her surviving husband (who was her senior in years by only 12 or 15 months) has to face his bereavement after enjoying 52 years of her companionship. Very shortly after their marriage, Mr and Mrs Dale went to reside on Reedy Creek Station, near Yass, then the property of Dale Brothers, where they remained for about ten years. In 1852, when the gold fever was at its height, Mr and Mrs Dale came to Victoria, roughing it on Back Creek, Bendigo, for about twelve months; then coming to Snake Valley, or the Nine Mile as Stanley was then called. After leaving Stanley, where they remained about six months, Mrs Dale went back to Yass, rejoining her husband very soon afterwards when he had decided upon settling to live in Wangaratta, about the latter end of 1853, where the worthy couple remained ever since. Having brought up a large family, the deceased lady had always the companionship of sons,daughters, and grandchildren, in all of whom she took a deep interest, and her departure will be very keenly felt by all of them, although the greatest sense of loneliness will be naturally experienced by the sorrowing husband, whose loss of one of the most devoted and faithful of lifelong companions is one that cannot be repaired. During her protracted illness the deceased lady had the unremitting attention of her husband, and the very large circle of near relatives who one and all loved and respected her; and calmly she accepted the call when death claimed her. In her last illness her loving, sorrowing relatives came from all parts of the colonies to see once more the faithful wife and good mother ere she breathed her last, affording her all the comfort their kind attention could bestow; and thus she departed loved, honored and respected, not only by her own relatives, but by all in the district who knew her, and very few there were who did not. Thus in the death of Mrs Dale, we not only lose one of our earliest lady pioneers, but one of the very best, morally and otherwise, who ever resided at Wangaratta for any length of time. The funeral will take place at 3 p.m. to-day. Ovens and Murray Advertiser Beechworth, Victoria, Saturday, 24 December 1892

Instead she was renamed Captivity on 20 October 1796, while laid up at Portsmouth, and was fitted out as a prison ship.[2] She continued in this role for over a decade, serving under a number of commanders, Lieutenant Samuel Blow from December 1796, until his replacement in 1800 by Lieutenant Emanuel Hungerford. She was thereafter commanded by Lieutenant Jacob Silver from September 1801, and then a Lieutenant McDonald from December 1805 until sometime in 1806.[2] She was finally broken up at Portsmouth in January 1818 (Wikipedia) Sentencing to Departure-Prison Hulks & Convict Gaols The sentence of transportation was usually carried out in three parts. Prisoners started their sentence in the local gaol, followed by a period in a convict gaol or on the prison hulks before finally being transported. After Sentencing It was normal for prisoners under sentence of transportation to spend the first part of their sentence in the prison where they had awaited trial, usually in solitary confinement.

Prisoners arrived at the convict facility with their 'caption papers' (Which stated the offence, the date of conviction and length of sentence). In the early 19th century, most prisoners awaiting transportation were sent to the ' hulks' in London before being assigned to a convict ship and leaving England. The hulks The hulks were old navy ships, anchored along the banks of the Thames and at ports such as Portsmouth and Plymouth. As the prison population increased, it was decided to use them as gaols. Parliament authorised their use for a two year period in 1776; they continued to house prisoners for 82 years!

Two champions, who arrived by the Fortune, exchanged gloves on the previous evening, and appointed to meet in a field on the road to Botany, about half a mile from the Race Course. The combatants were, John Berringer and Charles Sefton; the former about twenty and standing near 5 feet 9, and the latter about thirty, and about 5 feet 7. They set to with equal spirit and confidence (Sefton possessing greater skill but his adversary greater activity, and a longer reach), in a ring formed by a multitude of spectators, which was not less than 30 feet diameter. They fought two hours, and had upwards of 50 rounds, being timed to half minutes, so that out of two hours there was a full hour and a half of hard fighting; during the whole of which neither fell without a blow, and seldom closed. It was long doubtful upon which side victory was likely to spread her wreath; but within the few last rounds Sefton's strength had observably declined much more than that of his adversary, to whose superiority he was at length obliged unwillingly to yield.

Sentencing to Departure - Prison Hulks & Convict Gaols
Prison Hulk
The sentence of transportation was usually carried out in three parts. Prisoners started their sentence in the local gaol, followed by a period in a convict gaol or on the prison hulks before finally being transported.
After Sentencing

It was normal for prisoners under sentence of transportation to spend the first part of their sentence in the prison where they had awaited trial, usually in solitary confinement. They stayed there until the secretary of state ordered their removal to a convict facility.

Prisoners arrived at the convict facility with their 'caption papers' (Which stated the offence, the date of conviction and length of sentence). In the early 19th century, most prisoners awaiting transportation were sent to the ' hulks' in London before being assigned to a convict ship and leaving England.

The hulks

The hulks were old navy ships, anchored along the banks of the Thames and at ports such as Portsmouth and Plymouth. As the prison population increased, it was decided to use them as gaols. Parliament authorised their use for a two year period in 1776; they continued to house prisoners for 82 years!

The conditions on the ships were terrible, especially in the early days, and far worse than in the prisons. The standards of hygiene were so poor that outbreaks of disease spread quickly. Typhoid and cholera were common and there was a high death rate amongst the prisoners.

In the day time the Convicts were put to hard labour on the docks or dredging the Thames. At night the prisoners were chained to their bunks to prevent them escaping ashore. Convicts could be punished for crimes on board by being placed in heavy irons or flogging.

Even though conditions slowly improved, they were still worse than in the prisons. In later years some prisoners carried out their whole sentences on the hulks in England, instead of being transported.

Convict Gaols

Lobbying over the poor conditions on convict hulks continued long after transportation to Australia began and, as a result, Millbank prison was eventually built in 1816 next to the Thames River in London.

The prison was run using the 'separate system' where prisoners were kept in isolation. The building layout was in the form of a six pointed star round a central core which made it the appear that the prisoners were under constant surveillance.

At this time it was the largest gaol in England and could confine 1200 convicts in separate cells. Many convicts (male and female) spent part of their sentence here before being transported. Every prisoner had religious instruction. They would be put to work, turning the crank, picking oakum (picking apart old tarred rope), making shoes or stitching mail bags.

Although clean and ventilated, it was still very damp and unhealthy due to its locality. Fatal outbreaks of cholera occurred. Unfortunately, due to its management regime and architectural design (3 miles of passageways!), it was thought to be unsuccessful and was closed in 1890.

Reformist pressure and objections by colonists to transported convicts continued and led to the development of further 'model' penitentiaries, including Pentonville, Portland (1848), Dartmoor (1850) they adopted colonial type labour regimes (Pointless hard work in order to earn food).

CRIMINAL COURT.--(Yesterday)
The trials of the pirates will take place in the Criminal Court, on Monday next. G. Jones stood capitally indicted for the wilful murder of J. Bellinger alias Purton, on the 26th of December last.
J. Steadworth, living at Parramatta, remembers on the 26th
of December going to Kissing Point, to a house called the
Waterloo, had brought with him a loaded gun, but discharged the contents before he entered the house, this was done in sight of the prisoner. Two hours after this, witness recharged the gun with slugs. Witness did this in the room and the prisoner was sitting there, but engaged in talk with some other men. He sat in the room for the space of a minute with the gun in his hands
when the prisoner got up and took hold of the piece. Witness
thought he took the gun merely to look at it.. He appeared to be examining the barrel, when it went off ; the deceased; who was standing immediately in front of the prisoner, and in the same direction the muzzle of the gun was pointed, instantly fell, having been shot in the head. Witness thinks the prisoner did not pull the trigger ; is sure the piece was not cocked. On discovering the injury that was done, prisoner appeared to be very much affected and cried bitterly. Does not think the prisoner knew the piece was loaded at the time of firing it.
J. LEE deposed to a similar effect.
Mr. ANDERSON, surgeon, examined as to the wounds of deceased who was removed to the Hospital at Parramatta.
The Learned Judge summed up to the Jury, observing there
was not the slightest room to imagine that the prisoner had been guilty of what was in law considered as murder. The prisoner had, to say the most, only acted incautiously with the piece he took in his hand; but, under all the circumstances of the case his Honor did not think the present could be considered even a case of manslaughter.
Verdict. Not Guilty
The Judge admonished the prisoner, and ordered his discharge.

• Arrival: 26 Jan 1788, Port Jackson, Sydney Cove; The First Fleet is the name given to the 11 ships that left Great Britain on 13 May 1787 to found the penal colony that became the first European settlement in Australia. The Fleet consisted of two Royal Navy vessels, three store ships and six convict transports, carrying more than 1,000 convicts, marines and seamen, and a vast quantity of stores. From England, the Fleet sailed southwest to Rio de Janeiro, then east to Cape Town and via the Great Southern Ocean to Botany Bay, arriving in mid-January 1788, taking 250 to 252 days from departure to final arrival. Background and planning[edit] Convicts were originally transported to the Thirteen Colonies in North America, but after the American War of Independence ended in 1783, the newly formed United States refused to accept further convicts.[1] On 6 December 1785, Orders in Council were issued in London for the establishment of a penal colony in New South Wales, on land claimed for Britain by explorer James Cook in his first voyage to the Pacific in 1770.[2][3] The First Fleet was commanded by Commodore Arthur Phillip, who was given instructions authorising him to make regulations and land grants in the colony.[4] The ships arrived at Botany Bay between 18 January and 20 January 1788:[5] HMS Supply arrived on 18 January, Alexander, Scarborough and Friendship arrived on 19 January, and the remaining ships on 20 January.[6][7] The cost to Britain of outfitting and despatching the Fleet was £84,000[8] (about £9.6 million as of 2015).[ Ships of the First Fleet[edit] Naval escort[edit] The First Fleet included two Royal Navy escort ships, the ten-gun sixth-rate vessel HMS Sirius under the command of Captain John Hunter, and the armed tender HMS Supply commanded by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball. Scarborough was a square-sterned barque that participated in the First Fleet, assigned to carry convicts for the European colonisation of Australia in 1788.[5] Also, the British East India company (EIC) chartered Scarborough to take a cargo of tea back to Britain after her two voyages transporting convicts.[6] She spent much of her career as a West Indiaman, trading between London and the West Indies, but did perform a third voyage in 1801-02 to Bengal for the EIC. She foundered in 1805. (Wikipedia)

• Census: 1806, Eastern Farms; New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia Convict Musters, 1806-1849 New South Wales, General Muster, 1806 Wheat 7 acres Maize 9 acre Barley 1 acre Oats 1/2 adre Peas or Beans 1 acre Potatoes 1/2 acre Orchard and Garden Pasture 13 1/2 acres Fallow 6 acres Total Acres 30 acres Horses Male 1 Female 1 Horned Cattle Bulls - Cows - Oxen - Sheep - The Original Land Grants by Julie Dawson and George Elliott All of us who reside in the City of Ryde live on land that was once the domain of a group of wandering Aborigines named the Wallumetta people. This group moved through their territory leaving very little evidence of their existence except for scattered carvings and middens and a concept of land ownership incomprehensible to the British when they arrived in 1788. This lack of understanding led the new settlers to believe that the land belonged to no one and was theirs to use. Thus the British concept of land ownership came to the colony in which individuals owned a designated area of land to provide for themselves and their family. The map below indicates who were the first non-aboriginal owners of land in the Ryde municipality. By pinpointing the various landmarks such as main streets, railway stations, etc in relation to your own home, you should be able to determine when the land on which it stands was first granted and to whom. Soon after arriving in the colony of New South Wales, Governor Phillip began granting land to soldiers and convicts in the hope that they would become successful farmers, supply their own needs and be less dependant on Government Stores. Among the first people to receive a grant of land in the colony were a group of Marines whose land was in an area called the Field of Mars. Two of these grants were to Isaac Archer and John Colethread whose land fell within today's City of Ryde. These grants were dated 3 January 1792, some seven weeks before the grant of James Ruse, which has become known as the first land grant in Australia. Ruse's claim to fame is not that his was the first land grant but that he was No.1 in the Land Grants registers. By 1809 the majority of land in today's City of Ryde had been granted. A large swathe of land along the Lane Cove River remained vacant and was designated as a Common for the use of the local settlers to run their animals. The grants were made to marines, soldiers, emancipated convicts and some free settlers. The military men, some of their wives and the free settlers were given up to 120 acres in an attempt to keep them in the colony, while emancipated convicts were given 30 acres, a further 20 acres if they were married and 10 acres for every child in the family. Minor military were granted 25 acres. Who were the people who received these grants? It would appear that most of the land to the east of today's railway line was granted to convicts and was known initially as Eastern Farms and later as Kissing Point while the land to the west was called the Field of Mars. Approximately half of the 90 grants were to convicts and the rest to military and free settlers. Five were women, one was the free wife of a convict, two were emancipated convicts and two were the wives of Marines. About fourteen of the grantees had arrived on the First Fleet and another 37 on the Second Fleet. The area marked, Field of Mars Common, 1804, remained empty of legal settlers until the 1880s when it was sold off to pay for the construction of the first Gladesville Bridge. This land was then settled by dozens of small farmers and investors and even by the 1950s much of it was still market gardens, orchards and poultry farms. Kissing Point is a point on the Parramatta River about 2 km south of Ryde,[1] located in the suburb of Putney. Historically, the name referred to a much wider area than the current-day point; and perhaps originally to the point near Ryde Bridge where Settlers Park is now located, and where a 1948 brass plaque by the Council states "THIS IS THE SITE OF THE FIRST SETTLEMENT ON 10th JANUARY 1792 - BY - WILLIAM CARELESS and JAMES WEAVERS IN THE LOCALITY SET UP BY GOVERNOR PHILLIP AS FARMS OF THE EASTERN BOUNDARY (LATER CALLED KISSING POINT (Wikipedia)

TRANSPORTED FOR SEVEN YEARS

Edward Drinkwater
In the early to mid 1830's, he decided to become a farmer and purchased land at Kissing Point, Ryde. This property was the original Crown Grant of 30 acres to James Bradley in 1794. The property fronted the Kissing Point Road [now Morrison Road] and its southern boundary was the Parramatta River with a landing quay 265 feet long. Its eastern boundary is now Belmore Road. The property to the west was owned by Isaac Shepherd. Growing on the property were all types of fruit trees, berries, grapes & vegetables

St Luke's is a historic Anglican church building in the London Borough of Islington. It is now a music centre operated by the London Symphony Orchestra and known as LSO St Luke's.
The church is sited on Old Street, north of the City of London, and was built to relieve the church of St Giles-without-Cripplegate, Cripplegate,[1] under the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches, an attempt to meet the religious needs of London's burgeoning 18th century population. It was completed and the corresponding parish of St Luke's created in 1733.
The parish was reunited with St Giles in 1959 and the font and organ case from St Luke's was moved there. The church was closed by the Church of England Diocese of London in 1964 after subsidence made it unsafe, and it lay empty.
