Terrence (or Terrance) is an extremely rare surname in Australia. With the exception of three marriages between 1930-1960, every occurrence of the surname in the NSW BMD index is a member of the following family. Prior to 1900 there were only three Terrence families in Australia, one in NSW, one in Victoria and the third living in South Australia. There were several Torrence & Torrents families, but they are phonetically distinct surnames (the Torrence/Torrents were also Protestants, whilst the Terrence's were Roman Catholic). The Terrences appear to have been a rather colourful family in NSW. Both James Jr & his wife arrived in Australia as convicts. Whilst James appears to have been a reformed character in Australia (at least I have found no evidence of a further criminal career), his wife was imprisoned several times, his surviving son, grandson and numerous great-grandsons all had criminal records and a great-great-grandson killed his wife & baby before committing suicide!

Only two Terrence families were known to have been living in Co Kildare in the 1800s. Both families were Roman Catholic. The first of these families appears in Co Kildare in the 1820s and remained in the county for a decade or two at the most - by the time of the Griffiths Valuation in 1853 there was no trace of this family living in Co Kildare. The family was located in the Monasterevin Roman Catholic parish, which is on the border with Co Laois (known as Queen's County in the 1800s). Terrence's with similar forenames can be found living in Co Laois throughout the 1800s into the 20th century and it seems reasonable to assume that this Co Kildare family group was a branch of the Co Laois Terrence's which temporarily relocated across the border into Co Kildare. Coincidently, a member of this family, John Terence, was sent to Australia in 1844 as a convict, transported to Tasmania and relocating to Victoria upon the expiry of his sentence. This family eventually adopted the spelling "Terrens". The other Terrence family was living in Kilcullen in the late 1700s, later appearing in Tully townland in the mid 1800s and continuing to be found in Co Kildare into the 20th century. This was the only Terrence family that appears to have been in Co Kildare at the time James was reportedly born there. Whilst an occasional Terrens appears amongst this family, for the most part they consistently used Terrence or Terrance, as did the family of James in Australia. Additionally, whilst the parentage of James' wife, Rose Sweeney, is unknown, she was born in the townland of Glenaree, which lies close to Kilcullen & Tully. Rose' convict records indicate that she knew James Terrence in Kildare before both were transported, sufficiently well that she claimed they had been married in Ireland. Whether they were indeed married or not, she knew sufficient details about James that the authorities gave her the benefit of doubt. At the time single female convicts were placed in 'Female Factories' and essentially married off to the highest bidder in a society that had far more males than females. Stating that she was married to a convict already in the Colony meant she would have avoided this fate. Since she eventually married James in Sydney & remained with him until she died, she evidently preferred the legal fiction (if indeed that was the case) over the alternatives. The fact that Rose knew James back in Co Kildare implies that James was from the same area of Co Kildare as she was, which in turn implies that he was part of the Kilcullen Terrance's. James Sr may have perhaps been a younger brother of Richard. From the Griffith's Valuations we know that the family were quite poor, leasing just a humble dwelling with a small garden. Since there were no towns in the area, that implies that the family were all agricultural labourers (at least those in employment). In 1811 Richard Terrence, a bachelor, married in Kilcullen. Living in Co Kildare at the time he would have been born were two Terrance's, James and Richard. Richard married in 1795 & had a son, Richard Jr, baptised 1810, so he can be safely eliminated as the father of the Richard who married in 1811. That leaves James Sr, father of the James who came to Australia as a convict in 1828, as the father of this younger Richard who married in 1811, and thus providing a forename link between Richard Sr & James Sr, both of Co Kildare. It is possibly (likely even) that they were brothers and, if this is the case, traditional Irish naming patterns would suggest their father was another Richard. In other Irish lines I have researched, it is not uncommon for two closely related families with the same surname being neighbours for a century or more, often intermarrying, but tracing distinct lines back through the generations. In these cases the descent can be traced by following the property - each line would own or have a multi-generational lease on their own property. The Terrances, however, were not farmers, instead leasing just a small patch of land upon which stood a humble cottage. This is more consistent with James Sr & Richard Sr being brothers - around the start of the 19th Century Ireland was in the middle of an agricultural boom and there was a high demand for farm labourers In the early 1800s a series of famines, culminating in the infamous "Potato Famine", saw an end to this boom and a massive unemployment (and starvation) amongst the landless labourers and a consequent mass emigration.

While it is not proven (and given the scarcity of available records likely impossible to prove) that James Sr & Richard Sr were siblings, I have charted them accordingly below. The presumed relationship is based only on circumstantial evidence and should not be taken as proven (please don't quote by speculations as 'fact'!). Unfortunately, the available parish records for Kilcullen appear to have a gap between 1796-1808 (and do not survive prior to 1795), a critical period in the family below. Some records survive from 1795 and records seem to be reasonably complete from 1808, although there may be additional gaps.

Sweeney was a rather more common surname in Co Kildare in the 1800s than Terrance. Attempts to trace Rose's ancestry in Ireland have so far been unsuccessful. Rose was born in Glenaree townland in the parish of Cloncurry (Offaly East). There do not appear to have been any Sweeney's living in the parish by the time of the Griffith's Valuation in 1853, although 3 Sweeney families were living in the neighbouring parishes of Kilmeage & Rathernan (the later near Allen in the map below, to the east of Cloncurry, the former to the north-west of Allen). By the time of the 1901 Irish census there was a Sweeney family living in neighbouring Feighcullen parish (to the east of Cloncurry in the map below), a widow with two young children. Roots-Ireland has almost 200 baptisms and over 50 marriages for Sweeney's (including variants) for Co Kildare, extracted from Parish Registers. At €5 a record, this would unfortunately be an unjustifiably expensive project. The IGI has two Sweeney births in Kilmeage parish around 1880, but no other useful entries.

Kilcullen, formally Kilcullen Bridge, is a small town on the River Liffey in County Kildare, Ireland, with a population of 2,985 in 2006. It is situated primarily in the Barony of Kilcullen (in the Civil Parish of Kilcullen), with part in the Barony of South Naas (Civil Parish of Carnalway), and subsidiary areas include Logstown, Harristown, Carnalway and Brannockstown, Gilltown, Nicholastown, and Castlemartin. Kilcullen Bridge replaced the original settlement of Kilcullen, now Old Kilcullen, in the centuries following the building of the great bridge at the future site of the town. Other local historical features include Dun Ailinne, New Abbey and Castlemartin. Kilcullen straddles the River Liffey and is about 50 km from Dublin. First built in the 1310s, the six-arch bridge over the Liffey was last reconstructed c.1850, and renovated and widened in the early 1970s; the upstream face is modern while if viewing from downstream, the historic style is visible. The town comprises one main street, with a few connecting roads. The current town developed after 1319 when a bridge was constructed here across the River Liffey by a canon, Maurice Jakis, of Kildare Cathedral. It took over, over succeeding centuries, from the previous settlement. In 1837, the official town area had a population of 699, one principal street of 112 buildings, chiefly on the western bank of the Liffey, a market on Saturdays and fairs on February 2, March 25, June 22, September 8 and 29, October 2 and December 8. There was a police station and a dispensary, and petty sessions were held. At that time, the population of the rural area of Old Kilcullen still exceeded that of the town by a multiple. Kilcullen has an early church, around 1 km outside the town, in New Abbey, commenced in 1486 by Rowland FitzEustace, 1st Baron Portlester and Chancellor of Ireland. The remnants of the abbey today lie in a graveyard and feature some notable tombstones. Kilcullen is the main element in the Parish of Kilcullen and Gormanstown in the Roman Catholic Church, with two churches managed by the parish of which the parish church, dedicated to the Sacred Heart and St. Brigid, from 1872, lies at the western end of the town proper.[Wikipedia] Kilcullen, a parish, in the barony of Kilcullen, county of Kildare, and province of Leinster, 8 miles SSW from Naas, on the mail coach road from Dublin to Athy and Carlow; containing 2918 inhabitants. This place derived its name from the foundation of a church and monastery in the district of Coulan, of which St. Patrick appointed St. Isernine bishop, who died in 469 and was succeeded by St. Mactalius. The parish comprises 6619 statute acres, of which more than four-fifths are in tillage, and the remainder, with the exception of a small portion of woodland and exhausted bog, is in pasture. The soil is fertile, and the lands are in a high state of cultivation; the system of agriculture has, within the last 15 years, been very greatly improved, and the surrounding scenery is pleasingly diversified. Castle-Martin, the elegant residence of W. H. Carter, Esq., occupies the site of the ancient castle of the Fitz-Martins, near Kilcullen-Bridge: the present mansion was occupied by the king's troops as a barrack, in 1798; it is surrounded with a highly improved and richly wooded demesne. Halverstown, the seat of P. Purcell, Esq., is finely situated in the midst of extensive and thriving plantations, which, covering an elevated part of the demesne, are a great ornament to a large tract of country around. The living is a vicarage (otherwise called a perpetual curacy), in the diocese of Dublin, united, in 1833, to the impropriate curacies of Davidstown, Giltown, and Brannickstown, together forming the impropriate or perpetual curacy of Kilcullen; the rectory is partly appropriate to the precentorship, but chiefly united to the half rectory of Glasnevin, together constituting the corps of the chancellorship of the cathedral of Christchurch, Dublin, in the patronage of the Crown. The tithes amount to £332. The church, for the erection of which the late Board of First Fruits granted a loan of £1000, is undergoing an enlargement, which will render it cruciform, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners having granted £238. The Roman Catholic parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church; there is a chapel at Gormanstown, and also at New Abbey; the latter stands within the cemetery, and is built partly with the materials of the ancient abbey, some of the ornamental sculptures of which are preserved in the present building. About 430 children are taught in five public schools. There are still some remains of New Abbey, founded in 1460 for Franciscans of the Strict Observance, by Sir Rowland Fitz-Eustace, many years Lord Chancellor and Treasurer of Ireland. After its dissolution it was granted, in 1582, by Queen Elizabeth to the poet Spenser; and though the tower fell in 1764, and a great portion of the materials was used in building the chapel, the ruins are still highly interesting. The tomb of the founder and his lady are still visible in the churchyard, but so deeply sunk in the ground that the inscription, ascribing the foundation of the abbey to Rowland Fitz-Eustace.[Lewis 1837] Kilcullen or Kilcullen-Bridge, is a market town, partly in the parish of Carnalway, barony of South Naas, but chiefly in the barony and parish of Kilcullen, county of Kildare, 27 miles SSW from Dublin; situated on the main road between the cities of Dublin and Cork, and on the banks of the Liffey, at a short distance from the great bog of Allan. The river is crossed by a good stone bridge of six arches, whence there is a fine view of the mansion of William Henry Carter, Esq. and of the remains of New Abbey, erected by Sir. Rowland Eustace, in 1460, for Franciscan friars. Old Kilcullen, now but a sorry hamlet, was formerly a walled town, and conferred the title of baron on Thomas Fitz Eustace, afterwards Viscount Baltinglass. The ruins, which crown a hill within about a mile of the south bank of the Liffey, consist of part of an old monastery, an ancient round tower, and many curious sculptured stones. The places of worship, in connection with the town, are the parish churches of Kilcullen and Carnalway, situated about a mile and a half in opposite directions from the town, two plain buildings, and a small but neat Roman Catholic chapel, Rev. John Murtagh, parish priest; Rev. John Tyrell, curate. The charitable institutions are a dispensary, and a small fever hospital, and a well conducted school, in connection with the Church Education Society. The market is held on Saturday, and the fairs on February 2nd, March 25th, June 22nd, September 8th and 29th, October 2nd, and December 8th. The population of the parish, in 1841 was 3,430, and the town 1,056 of that number.[Slater 1846]

1.2. Richard Terrence,[92] probably born between 1770-1775 (from DOBs of children). Married Bridget Toole.[92] Resided 1795, Kinneagh, Co Kildare, Ireland.[92] Resided 1810, Old Kilcullen, Co Kildare, Ireland.[92]

Kineagh, a parish in the county of Kildare, and province of Leinster, 2 miles (SW) from Baltinglass, on the road from Dublin to Wexford; containing 1441 inhabitants. Agriculture is improving, and there is fine granite for building. The principal seats are Bettyfield, the residence of Hutchinson, Esq.; Rickettstown, of the Rev. J. Whitty; Philipstown, of J. Penrose, Esq. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Dublin, and in the patronage of the Vicars Choral of St. Patrick's cathedral, Dublin; the rectory is partly appropriate to the Bishop of Kildare and the vicars choral of St. Patrick's, and partly impropriate in the Duke of Leinster, H. Cumming, Esq., and J. D. Duckett, Esq. The tithes amount to £334. 2. 2 ½., of which £80 is payable to the bishop, £80 to the vicars choral, £21. 17. 9. to the Duke of Leinster, £14. 11. 7. to H. Cumming, Esq., £22. 18. 9. to J. D. Duckett, Esq., and £114. 14. 3 ½. to the vicar. There is a glebe-house, and the glebe comprises 18a. 3r. 24p. A neat church was built about 1834, by a grant of £900 from the late Board of First Fruits. In the R. C. divisions it is partly in the union or district of Castledermot, in the diocese of Dublin, and partly in that of Rathvilly, in the diocese of Kildare and Leighlin. Here are the ruins of the old church and of an abbey.[Lewis 1837] Old Kilcullen, formerly Kilcullen ("the Church of the Holly" in Irish), is a townland in County Kildare, Ireland. It was formerly the site of a walled town, and before that of an ecclesiastical settlement dating from the 5th century. The original settlement gave its name to the substantial surrounding Civil Parish and barony. The urban centre of the area moved about 2 km west and slightly north to Kilcullen Bridge on the River Liffey, often now simply known as Kilcullen, over the centuries following the construction of a bridge there in 1319. Old Kilcullen is the site of a round tower and a decorated High Cross, and another, much older, historic site, Dun Ailinne, is on the next hill to the west, Knockaulin. At ground level today, the site appears to be confined to a churchyard with surviving stone features at the top of a gently sloping hill, but aerial and ground surveys have shown a far greater extent to the former settlement, including embankments on the slopes of the hill. Kilcullen begun as a monastic settlement, in the period around 448, assigned clergy by St. Patrick. The choice of location for the settlement was perhaps related to the nearby Dun Ailinne, a ceremonial and possible palace site related to the kings of Leinster, though Dun Ailinne long predates any known settlement at Old Kilcullen. Old Kilcullen was raided by Vikings, landing at the location of the modern town, at least twice, in 936 and 944. In the former raid, it is reported that a thousand prisoners were taken, which suggests that the then population was very substantial. Other mentions in the Annals include reference to the deaths of key church figures, including Bishops and Abbots. The town reached its peak in early Anglo-Norman times, as a walled town with seven gates and seven, or perhaps eight, roads, and regular markets. There was also some form of castle, which was by the time of Henry VIII held by the Eustace family, who held for a time the title Baron of Kilcullen. Until the late 19th century Old Kilcullen townland had a greater population than Kilcullen Bridge. At some point in the 19th century the settlement, now just a small village, lost the market, whose licence was by then in clerical hands, to Kilcullen Bridge, retaining a small twice-yearly fair. It retained a small church, by then Church of Ireland, as recently as 1836, and revenue from this went to support two canons of Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin. Little now remains visible of the original town site beyond the low-walled churchyard, which contains the damaged round tower, the remnants of a church, two Irish High Crosses, the base of another large cross, and many graves. However, further traces of structures can be seen in aerial photography. In addition to the historic area, the townland of Old Kilcullen includes homes, farms, a public house, and a Kildare County Council reservoir. The remains of the church now extend only slightly above ground level.[Wikipedia]

The Hyde Park Barracks was built in 1819 to house, clothe and feed convict men and boys. The impressive brick building and walled compound, located at the head of Macquarie Street, was designed by convict architect Francis Greenway. Constructed by convict labour by order of Governor Lachlan Macquarie, the Barracks is one of the most familiar works of the accomplished colonial England-born, Australian architect Francis Greenway. As the principal male convict barracks in New South Wales it provided lodgings for convicts working in government employment around Sydney until its closure in mid 1848. Before 1819 there was no government accommodation for convicts. Instead, convicts secured ‘lodging and fire’ in private houses and hotels in areas like The Rocks. They were permitted to work privately after their day’s work for the government in order to pay for this. In The Rocks’ public houses, however, convict men and women and soldiers associated freely after working hours. They shared a love of town life and, in many cases, personal networks from the old country. Disorderly public behaviour and frequent robberies in The Rocks led to increasing demands for greater control of convicts’ living arrangements. In response, Governor Macquarie ordered the construction of a building where convicts could be secured at night. The Barracks provided basic accommodation for 600 male convicts. For almost 30 years, from 600 to 1400 male convicts assembled here nightly. Other convicts were brought to Hyde Park Barracks for trial, punishment and reassignment. After 1848 the main dormitory held newly arrived female immigrants while a handful of government agencies made use of surrounding buildings. In 1862, separate wards for destitute women were added upstairs and the Barracks became known as the Hyde Park Asylum. Sydney celebrated the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s reign in 1887 with the construction of major public buildings and monuments. The Hyde Park Barracks became a hub of government departments and renamed Chancery Square. Until the late 1970s, thousands of public servants, legal workers and litigants occupied dingy office spaces, courtrooms and corridors, scattered throughout the increasingly crowded complex. Today the Hyde Park Barracks is a museum. Around 50,000 convict men and boys passed through the barracks between 1819 and 1848. Most had been charged with property crimes in British courts and served terms of life, 7 or 14 years transportation. Typically, their lives were governed by rigid rules, discipline and hard, monotonous work although for some, good conduct or useful skills brought rewards, indulgences and positions of responsibility. Barracks convicts were mustered daily and marched to worksites around town. In gangs, they built the docks, roads, churches, hospitals, quarries, bridges and fortifications of early Sydney. Their tools, equipment, food and clothing were supplied by gangs of convict cobblers, weavers, bakers, hat makers, grass cutters, gardeners, wheelwrights, carpenters and blacksmiths. From 1830 courts of General Sessions were held at the Barracks. Convicts and employers put their complaints to visiting magistrates who determined various penalties. Punishments could include the cruel treadmill, flogging, a stint in leg irons, solitary confinement, reassignment to a distant road gang or to Cockatoo Island.[Wikipedia, Historic Houses Trust]

Shortly after his arrival was placed in the service of John Mackaness of Cabramatta, NSW, Australia.[3,86] On 28/10/1831 James unsuccessfully applied for a Ticket of Exemption.[85] At the time, and for some time previous, he was employed in the Commissariat Stores as a convict labourer.[85] On 2/11/1831 his petition was denied.[58]

Cabramatta is a suburb in south-western Sydney, in the state of NSW, located 30km SW of the Sydney central business district. In 1795, an early settler named Hatfield called the area ‘Moonshine Run’ because it was so heavily timbered that moonshine could not penetrate. The name Cabramatta, first came into use in the area in the early 19th Century, when the Bull family named a property that they had purchased Cabramatta Park. When a small village formed nearby in 1814, it took its name from that property. A township grew from this village, and a railway was built through Cabramatta in the 1850s. It was used for loading and unloading freight and livestock. However, Cabramatta did not get a railway station until 1870. The railway station wasn't open for public transport until 1872, a school was then established in 1882 and post office in 1886. Cabramatta remained a predominantly agricultural township. It evolved into a Sydney suburb in the mid 20th century.[Wikipedia] John Mackaness (c.1770-1838), barrister and public servant, early became addicted to attending radical political meetings in and around London. He was called to the Bar in 1794 and soon appointed recorder of Wallingford. In 1824 he was appointed sheriff of New South Wales at a salary of £1000, for which he was also to serve as coroner and provost-marshal. Soon after his arrival in the Alfred at Sydney in July 1824 Mackaness leased land at Hyde Park and bought 700 acres (283 ha) near Liverpool, where he later claimed to have spent £3000 on improvements and the cultivation of vines. In January 1826 Mackaness was petitioned to convene a public meeting of 'the Gentry, Magistrates, Merchants, Landholders, Farmers, Traders and other free Inhabitants' which approved an address to Governor Darling advocating a part-elected legislative council and trial by jury. On 26 January 1827 Mackaness convened another public meeting of 'Free Inhabitants', and was chosen to present their petition to Darling. In March Darling noted that Mackaness was 'not well affected to the Government'. Darling also complained that Mackaness had drawn on the public purse for travel expenses and a salary as provost-marshal, and that although Mackaness disclaimed any obligation to visit the gaol, certain irregularities there would have been prevented if he had attended to his duties. In due course the Colonial Office approved Mackaness's travel expenses but disallowed his pay as provost-marshal. In November 1827 the governor told Mackaness that his services were no longer required because of his association with 'factious Individuals' and his failure to obey promptly a government order. In December 1827 Mackaness was admitted to practise in the Supreme Court as a barrister and attorney. Next February Chief Justice (Sir) Francis Forbes and Judge John Stephen testified to Mackaness's good conduct as sheriff, but within two weeks he was on trial in the Supreme Court for an allegedly drunken assault on the solicitor-general, was found guilty and fined £5. He died on 4 April 1838 and was buried in the Devonshire Street cemetery.[Australian Biographical Dictionary] Commissariat Stores. When the convict colony of New South Wales was established in 1788, supplies of food and other goods were to be provided to the colonists from a Commissariat store. This was an arm of the civil administration responsible for the supply of goods to colonial establishments within the British Empire. The Commissariat held a strategic role in the economy of the early colony. Its function was to supply and store foodstuffs and other necessities – including liquor, hardware and other goods – for the population. Though this role diminished over time, it was significant within both Sydney Town and the colony for many decades. In the early years, the Commissariat was the only buyer available for the produce of the colony. And because it had access to credit in Britain it was an important avenue of finance. This was later important for the development of commerce, banking and even agriculture in the colony. Due to the initial lack of ready cash in the colony, and the high credit rating of the Commissariat, its store receipts and bills of exchange were used as currency for many years, until the introduction of enough circulating cash. As a result, the Commissariat played a very significant role in the development of the colonial economy as it moved from a convict to a market system. The first Commissariat building was probably designed in 1809 and built c1810. Under Governor Macquarie a second Commissariat store was built in 1812, as part of the rearrangement of the store's function and role, and was completed just before changes to the organisation and running of the Commissariat occurred. These changes took control from the Governor and placed it with the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury in London, as part of the army commissariat. But by 1815 the role of the Commissariat was again changing, and Macquarie abolished the custom of supplying the needs of the inhabitants from the Commissariat on credit. This protected the government from a large number of bad debts, and Macquarie felt that 'All their wants may now be fully supplied by the Free Merchant Shipping, frequenting this port from England and other countries'. The first Commissariat Store was a U-shaped building constructed on the western shoreline of Sydney Cove. The 1812 building was constructed to the west of the first, next to George Street. This latter building, which appears on various plans as Naval stores or Ordnance stores, was a long rectangular structure and is almost covered by the footprint of the Museum of Contemporary Art building (formerly the Maritime Services Board Building). The 1812 foundation stone was placed in a nearby park as part of the landscaping works when the Maritime Services Board Building was constructed during the 1940s.[Dictionary of Sydney] Field of Mars Parish is one of the 57 parishes of Cumberland County, New South Wales, a cadastral unit for use on land titles. While the name is mostly forgotten as a region name today, it has given the name to the modern suburb of Marsfield and the reserve in the area. It is centred around Carlingford and also includes Epping, Telopea and Ermington. Its southern boundary is the Parramatta River. The name Field of Mars was given by Governor Phillip, when in January 1792 he granted to two marines the first parcels of a later eight in this district. There are a number of theories on the origin of the name, the first is that it was a direct reference to the Roman God of war and the marines' service in the colony. The second theory is that it is named after the Roman Campus Martius, which also has a military connection. And the third that it is named after the Champ de Mars in Paris, again with military connections.[Wikipedia, Wikipedia]

Glenaree townland, Co Kildare, Ireland

Parramatta Gaol, 1800s
State Library of New South Wales

Glenaree is a townland in the parish of Cloncurry, Co Kildare, Ireland. The parish of Cloncurry is discontinious with a section in the far north of Kildare near the town of Enfield, 31km NE of the town of Kildare. The 2nd part of Cloncurry lies 7-8km due north of Kildare town. Glenaree is located in the later part. Glenaree is adjacent to Kineagh parish, where the Terrance family was living in the early to mid 1800s. Cloncurry, a parish, partly in the barony of East Ophaly, but chiefly in that of Ikeathy and Oughterany, county of Kildare, and province of Leinster,; containing 2299 inhabitants. A Carmelite friary, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, was founded here by John Roche, in 1347, which, together with the village, was burnt by some of the Irish septs in 1405; it appears, however, to have been restored, and continued to exist till the Reformation, when it was granted to William Dixon in the 35th of Henry VIII. The manor became the property of the Aylmer family, whose ancient seat, the castle, was defended for the parliament, in 1643, by Col. Monk, who was at length obliged to abandon it for want of provisions. From the Aylmer family the estate was afterwards purchased by Sir Nicholas Lawless, subsequently created Baron Cloncurry. During the disturbances of 1798, a skirmish took place at the foot of Ovidstown Hill, in this parish, between the king's troops and a party of the insurgents who had effected their escape from the county of Wexford. The parish, which is situated on the road from Dublin to Galway, and on the line of the Royal Canal, comprises 2449 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. The land is chiefly in pasture, and great numbers of cattle are fattened for the Dublin and English markets; in that portion of it which is under tillage the improved system of agriculture is adopted; there are about 400 acres of good bog. Ballinakill, the seat of T. Kearney, Esq., is a handsome modern house. It is a vicarage, in the diocese of Kildare, and is part of the union of Kilcock; the rectory is partly impropriate in the representatives of the late Michael Aylmer, Esq., and the remainder forms the corps of the deanery of the cathedral church of St. Bridget, Kildare, the appointment to which is elective by the chapter. The tithes amount to £476. 8. 2¾., of which £161. 8. 3. is payable to the dean, £105 to the vicar, and the remainder to the impropriators. The church is in ruins. In the R. C. divisions the parish also forms part of the union or district of Kilcock. There is a private school, in which are about 30 boys and 20 girls. There are some inconsiderable remains of the ancient Carmelite friary. The title of Baron Cloncurry was first conferred on Sir Nicholas Lawless, in 1789 and his descendant, the present Lord Cloncurry, was raised to the English peerage in 1831.[Lewis 1837] The 'Edward' departed Ireland 1/1/1829 and arrived in Port Jackson 26/4/1829 under Captain Gilbert with Surgeon Superintendent W.C. Watt. She brought 177 female prisoners, 3 having died on the passage out.[78,123]
"News. The Edward, Gilbert, master, has received on board at Cove, 177 female convicts, and 14 children of convicts, for New South Wales, under the medical care and superintendence of Dr. Watts. Seven free women and sixteen children have also embarked as passengers.(Monitor 25/4/1829)"[124]
"Shipping Intelligence. On Sunday last arrived, from Ireland, whence she sailed the 1st of January, the ship Edward, Captain Gilbert, with 177 female prisoners, 3 having died on the passage. Surgeon Superintendent, W.C. Watt, Esq. (Gazette 28/4/1829)"[125]
"A Bravo! One of the crew of the ship Edward, which last week discharged her prisoners, has been lodged in gaol under a serious charge, that of having whilst on the passage out from England, endeavoured to excite a spirit of insubordination, and a mutiny amongst the crew. If we can rely upon depositions made by some of the sailors, it would appear the fellow boasted more than once to his shipmates, if they would join, he would go aft, do their business for the surgeon, Dr. Watts, the master, Captain Gilbert, and all who'd be likely to prove obnoxious, take possession of the vessel, and release a "brother bowling," who was then in irons. To strengthen the general confidence in his prowess, the man, it seems, made no secret of boasting he had been a pirate, and commanded a piratical cruiser for three years; he had seen a man's heart cut out of him alive, and been witness to and an actor in many other sanguinary scenes, he had been taken with some others, and condemned to work digging stones, but had got off by joining the Brazilian service, and used this expression, it was said, several times to his shipmates, "stick to me, and we can manage it." But some of the crew "informed" and the worker of mischief was fast secured in the prison the remainder of the passage. Such is the tenor of the depositions.(Australian 12/5/1829)"[126]

John Taylor, a mariner, was indicted under the statute 11 and 12, William III, c. sec. 9, for piratically and felonously endeaVouring to make a revolt, on board the female convict ship, Edward, Captain Gilbert, on the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiral of England, on the voyage from Cork to New South Wales, in Febuary last.

Parramatta Correctional Centre is the oldest gaol in original use in Australia. It is the most intact of the pre-1850's gaols of Australia. The constructional character and quality of the early buildings, in particular the stone slab floors, ashlar walls and timber roof trusses, are exceptional. It is significant in its physical and spatial quality as an enclosed complex. The fabric reflects the shifts in penal philosophy and changes in use from the 1830's to the construction of Long Bay in the early twentieth century. The current complex, completed in 1842, was the third gaol built in Parramatta. The first was built in 1796 on the north bank of the river, near the southern boundary of the present Prince Alfred Park. It was designed by Governor John Hunter to house robbers, and the plan, with its single cells, followed contemporary English penal concepts. It was constructed of double log and thatch and on 28 December 1799, the flammable structure was torched by arsonists; several of the incarcerated inmates were 'shockingly scorched'. Work began in 1802 on the second gaol. It was built on the original site, and it was supervised by the Parramatta magistrate, Reverend Samuel Marsden. The building was financed by a tax on spirits, which probably led to the increased use of illicit stills. The new gaol was completed in December 1804. A linen and woollen manufactory had been included, and the Dundee weaver and political prisoner George Mealmaker, became the superintendent of both male and female convicts. Floggings took place within the gaol yard, while executions were public affairs held outside. Stocks at the entrance were used to expose minor offenders to public scorn. Separate yards were provided for male and female prisoners but other facilities were shared. Having survived another incendiary attack in December 1807, the three-room gaol quickly became overcrowded and continued to deteriorate over the next 30 years. From his arrival in 1831, Governor Bourke appealed to the Colonial Office in London for a new gaol, and colonial architect Mortimer Lewis submitted a design for the third gaol in 1835. However, it was a design by the new commanding royal engineer Captain George Barney that was used by the builders James Houison and Nathaniel Payten at a new site to the north of the town. In 1842 economic depression halted construction of the gaol, however a perimeter wall, a governor's house-cum-chapel, and three of the proposed five double-storied radiating wings had been finished. Governor George Gipps proclaimed the incomplete prison open on 3 January 1842. Thomas Duke Allen was installed as the gaoler, with his wife Martha acting as matron for the female prisoners. From the late 1850s, with better economic times, the gaol area was doubled, workshops and a cookhouse were built, two of the original cell wings were converted to male and female hospital wings, and a new stone perimeter wall surrounded the enlarged enclosure. Between 1883 and 1889, three additional cell wings were built, largely by prison labor. One of these wings was reserved for prisoners certified insane. In 1897, Parramatta was the second largest gaol in the colony, with 364 men and eight women inmates. Parramatta gaol was designed to house habitual criminals and recidivists with long sentences who could be trained for productive work. By 1929, it had become the State's principal manufacturing gaol, producing boots, brushes, tinware, clothes, joinery and foodstuffs. It also became a centre for rehabilitation.[Dictionary of Sydney, Heritage NSW]

St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney. The Metropolitan Cathedral of St Mary is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney, seat of the Archbishop of Sydney. The cathedral is dedicated to “Mary, Help of Christians”, Patron of Australia. St Mary’s holds the title and dignity of a minor basilica. It is the largest church in Australia, though not the highest, located off Hyde Park in the heart of the City of Sydney where, despite the high rise development of the CBD, its imposing structure and twin spires make it a landmark from every direction. It was not until 1820 that two priests, a Father Conolly and Father John Therry, arrived to officially minister to the Roman Catholics in Australia. Father Conolly went to Tasmania and Father Therry remained in Sydney. Father Therry applied for a grant of land on which to build a church. He asked for land on the western side of Sydney, towards Darling Harbour. But the land allocated to him was towards the East, adjacent to a number of Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s building projects, the hospital of 1811, the Hyde Park Barracks and St James' Anglican church which was also used as a law court. The site for the Catholic church overlooked a barren area upon which the bricks for Macquarie’s buildings were made. The foundation stone for the first St Mary’s was laid 29/10/1821 by Governor Macquarie. It was a simple cruciform stone structure which paid homage to the rising fashion for the Gothic style in its pointed windows and pinnacles. In 1835, the Most Reverend John Polding became the first archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church in Australia. Father Therry died 25/5/1864. On 29/6/1865, the church caught fire and was destroyed. The then archdeacon, Father McEnroe, immediately set about planning and fund raising in order to build the present cathedral, which was built by William Wardell. A temporary wooden church was constructed, which was also destroyed by fire in the summer of 1869. The third temporary provision was a sturdy brick building on the site, not of the cathedral but of St Mary’s School, which it was to serve long after the present structure was in use. Archbishop Polding laid the foundation stone for the present cathedral in 1868. It was to be a huge and ambitious structure with a wide nave and aisle and three towers. On 8/9/1882, his successor, Archbishop Vaughan, presided at the dedication mass. In 1913 Archbishop Kelly laid the foundation stone for the nave, which was dedicated in 1928. The decoration and enrichment of the cathedral continued. The richly decorated crypt which enshrines the bodies of many of the early priests and bishops was not completed until 1961. In 2000 the cathedral was finally completed with the addition of the spires originally proposed by William Wardell. St Mary’s Cathedral is unusual among the world’s large cathedrals in that, because of its size, the plan of the city around it and the fall of the land, it is oriented in a north-south direction rather than the usual east-west. The liturgical East End is at the north and the West Front is to the south. The plan of the cathedral is a conventional English cathedral plan, cruciform in shape, with a tower over the crossing of the nave and transepts and twin towers at the West Front (in this case, the south). The chancel is square-ended, like the chancels of Licoln, York and several other English cathedrals. There are three processional doors in the south with additional entrances conveniently placed in the transept facades so that they lead from Hyde Park and from the presbytery buildings and school adjacent the cathedral. The architecture is typical of the Gothic Revival of the 19th century. It is based fairly closely on the style of Lincoln Cathedral, the tracery of the huge chancel window being almost a replica of that at Lincoln. The building is of golden-coloured sandstone which has weathered externally to golden-brown. The roof is of red cedar, that of the nave being of an open arch-braced construction enlivened by decorative pierced carvings. The glory of St Mary’s Cathedral is the stained glass, covering a period of about 50 years. Many of the windows are of exceptional quality but the masterpiece is the huge window of the chancel, which has few, if any, rivals among the world’s 19th century windows for beauty of design.[Wikipedia] Parramatta Street was renamed George Street West and subsequently Broadway, forming what is now the easternmost portion of Parramatta Road, which in turn is the eastern part of what was originally the Western Road (Sydney to Bathurst) and now known as the Great Western Highway. Parramatta Street was so-named because it was the main road from Sydney to Parramatta. George Street was the original high street of Sydney. It converged with Pitt Street at the toll gate which marked the end of town until the middle of the nineteenth century, and beyond this point it was known as Parramatta Street, changing its name to Parramatta Road a little further along, where it reached the Cooks River Road, later called City Road. Parramatta Street was flanked by Ultimo on its northern side and Chippendale to the south. The Blackwattle Creek which emptied into Blackwattle Swamp in Ultimo crossed Parramatta Street at its lowest point, and the area was subject to periodic flooding. This watercourse attracted some fairly objectionable industries, such as slaughterhouses, boiling down works, and soap works. On the Chippendale side, Cooper's Distillery was established in 1826 and Tooth's Kent brewery in 1835. The distillery buildings were occupied by the Colonial Sugar Refinery works by the mid-1850s. All this industry, large and small, ensured that when John Harris of the Ultimo Estate decided to sell off blocks facing Parramatta Street in 1833, the area would become host to a number of public houses. The Stonemasons' Arms, built in 1833, long since de-licensed, still stands near the corner of Wattle Street as a reminder of the many public houses that once lined Parramatta Street. These hotels were also used by travellers who would habitually stop to wash down their horses and carts in the dammed-back creek that remains today as Lake Northam in Victoria Park; then they would break the journey with a cleansing ale or two, or a night's rest before the long haul up the Brickfield Hill into town and the markets. Cleansing of a different kind could be had at St Barnabas's Anglican Church, established in 1858. Parramatta Street was formally renamed George Street West in 1877 in recognition that it belonged to Sydney, and not to the undefined area beyond the boundaries. The cramped premises of the sugar refinery, coupled with ongoing complaints about the polluting practices, encouraged it to move in the late 1870s. The old landmark sandstone buildings on George Street West were demolished and following a land sale fiasco which resulted in few sales, the site was used to construct the Blackfriars School in the1880s, currently an annex of the University of Technology, Sydney. Additional accoutrements to the street included a fine four-storey fire station opened in 1886 and the Grace Brothers store, a small shopfront in 1886 which became a grand new store with landmark clock tower in 1906. The building remains. In 1882 the tram lines were laid down on George Street West, and by the beginning of the twentieth century, Railway Square, adjacent to the new Central Railway Station, was taking a heavy load of tram traffic. This new traffic hub encouraged the growth of a major shopping precinct in the area, with the Bon Marche and Marcus Clark department stores joining Grace Brothers on the Ultimo side of the road. All of these buildings remain today. The name Broadway, or The Broadway, was informally attached to the street from the time of the development of the wide Railway Square, but when Grace Brothers became an early adopter of the name, it was more a wish than a reality. George Street West was congested and in need of widening, according to the City fathers, who had properties on the Chippendale side gazetted for resumption in 1924. The street was formally renamed Broadway in 1934. In a slow process over the next 20 years, properties were resumed, demolished and the street widened. An exception was St Benedict's church, built in the 1850s. Demolition and compensation for this building would have been hugely expensive and very unpopular.[Dictionary of Sydney] Glebe is an inner-city suburb of Sydney located 3 km SW of the Sydney central business district. Glebe surrounds Blackwattle Bay, an inlet of Sydney Harbour, in the north. The suburb of Ultimo lies to the east and the suburbs of Annandale and Forest Lodge lie to the west. The southern boundary is formed by Parramatta Road and Broadway. Broadway is a locality around the road of the same name, which is located on the border of Glebe, Chippendale and Ultimo. Glebe's name derives from the fact that the land on which it was developed was a glebe, originally owned by the Anglican Church. 'The Glebe' was a land grant of 400 acres given by Governor Arthur Phillip to Reverend Richard Johnson, Chaplain of the First Fleet, in 1790. Financial difficulty forced the church to sell some of its land by 1856 and a two strata society began to develop: the homes of the gentry were built on Glebe Point while many workers lived at The Glebe. Gradually the big estates on the point were subdivided and the professional and middle income groups changed The Glebe from a quiet peninsula into a fashionable suburb. During the early 20th century and especially during the Depression years, The Glebe deteriorated and became shabby and overcrowded.[Wikipedia, Glebe Society] Ultimo (Broadway) is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, NSW, located 2km SW of the Sydney central business district. 'Ultimo' was originally the name of the estate of Dr John Harris, on 34 acres granted to him by Governor King in 1803. It was named for a clerical error in a legal case against Harris that had prevented him being court-martialled. His offence was listed as 'ultimo' (having occurred in the previous month) when it should have been cited as 'instant' (having occurred in the same month). The area remained as farmland, in possession of the Harris family, until it was subdivided in 1859. At that time, most of the current streets were laid out, and the descendants of John Harris constructed the first residences in the area. Residential development accelerated in the 1880s. In 1891 the population of the Pyrmont-Ultimo area was 19,177, in 3,966 dwellings. The population peaked at around 30,000 in 1900. However, the construction of factories, quarries, woolstores and a power station in the early 20th century saw the demolition of hundreds of houses, and a steady decline in population. It was a good site for warehouses because of its proximity to Darling Harbour. By 1954, the population of Pyrmont and Ultimo was 5,000, and by 1978 it was just 1,800. Subsequently, many industries began to move to cheaper land further from the CBD, and the decline of the wool industry made Ultimo's woolstores redundant. By the start of the 1980s, derelict industrial sites began to be redeveloped for residences, mostly as apartments. Very little industry remains in the area, and its current character is a combination of residential and commercial.[Wikipedia]

Redfern is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, 3km south of the Sydney central business district. The suburb is named after surgeon William Redfern, who was granted 100 acres of land in this area in 1817 by Lachlan Macquarie. He built a country house on his property surrounded by flower and kitchen gardens. His neighbours were Captain Cleveland who built Cleveland House and John Baptist, who ran a nursery and seed business. Sydney's original railway terminus was built 1855 in Cleveland Paddocks and extended from Cleveland Street to Devonshire Street and west to Chippendale. The station's name was chosen to honour William Redfern. At that time, the present Redfern station was known as Eveleigh. When Central station was built further north on the site of the Devonshire Street cemetery, Eveleigh station became Redfern and Eveleigh was retained for the name of the railway workshops, south of the station. The remains of Cleveland Paddocks became Prince Alfred Park. This original "Redfern" station comprised one wooden platform in a corrugated iron shed. As traffic increased the original station was replaced in 1874 by a brick building containing two platforms. This second station, which grew to 14 platforms, was designed for through traffic if the lines were extended in the city direction. {This area included most of Woodburn Street, including the property where James died in 1873} This second station was found to be too far from the city centre, so a new station (the present Sydney Central Station) was built to the north of Devonshire Street and opened in 1906.[Wikipedia, Wikipedia] The Devonshire Street Cemetery was located between Eddy Avenue and Elizabeth Street, and between Chalmers and Devonshire Streets, Sydney, Australia. It was consecrated in 1820. By 1860 the cemetery was full, and it was closed in 1867. It was the main cemetery for Sydney from 1820 to 1888. Under the Sydney Burial Grounds Act in 1866 burials were prohibited "within the city of Sydney from 1/1/1867, with the exception that persons with exclusive rights of burial at that date could still be buried on application to the Colonial Secretary who needed to be satisfied that the exercise of such right will not be injurious to health." By 1900 the grounds had become neglected. "A thick, disorderly, and in some places almost impenetrable scrub covers most of the ground; and tombstones lie scattered in careless confusion all over the place. Where standing, they present grotesque attitudes like a party of drunken men crossing a field." In 1901 the cemetery was resumed to allow for the development of Central railway station, Sydney and representatives of deceased persons buried in the Devonshire Street cemetery were given two months to arrange for exhumation and removal of remains from the cemetery. All reasonable costs were borne by the Government. The remains that were unclaimed were relocated to a purpose built cemetery named Bunnerong Cemetery. Bunnerong Cemetery was next to the Botany Cemetery and in the early 1970s was absorbed by that cemetery to create the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park.[Wikipedia, Old Burial Grounds of Sydney] Paddington is an inner-city, eastern suburb of Sydney, located 3km east of the Sydney central business district. Paddington is located primarily on the northern slope down from a ridgeline at the crest of which runs Oxford Street. Paddington is bordered to the west by Darlinghurst, to the east by Centennial Park and Woollahra, to the north by Edgecliff and Kings Cross and to the south by Moore Park. In the early 1820s, ex-convict entrepreneur and gin distiller Robert Cooper set out to build a grand Georgian estate at the top of Paddington's ridgeline, affording excellent views. He named the area Paddington after a London borough. He called the estate Juniper Hall, which remains Paddington's oldest home. The district's first cottages were built around Victoria Barracks, formerly a major army base. In the latter part of the 19th century, many terrace houses were constructed to house the city's burgeoning working population and an emerging middle class. Over time, these houses filled up almost every parcel of land, causing the suburb to become overpopulated. The unfashionable nature of the suburb continued until the mid-1960s, when gentrification took hold. At this time the area developed a bohemian aspect with a large arts community attracting creative and alternative residents. The suburb is now an example of uncoordinated urban renewal and restoration, where desirable location and heritage charm have contributed to flourishing real-estate values. Old boot-repair and linen shops have given way to designer fashion outlets and gourmet food. Paddington is known for its Victorian terrace houses which, having been slums for much of the post-World War II period, were later gentrified and are highly sought after. The suburb is characterised by an array of interconnecting streets and laneways, some too narrow for many of today's cars. These streets contrast to some other much wider avenues, such as Paddington Street or Windsor Street.[Wikipedia]

Tully West, Whitesland, Crosskeys & Greyabbey are all townlands surrounding the town of Kildare Whiteslands has since been swallowed by the growing borders of the town whilst Greyabbey & Tully West remain distinct population centres.[Google Maps] Tully, or Coghlanstown, a parish, partly in the barony of Kilcullen, but chiefly in that of East Ophaly, county of Kildare, and province of Leinster, 1½ mile south from Kildare, on the road to Castle-dermot; containing 1065 inhabitants. It comprises about 1600 statute acres, as rated for the county cess, and nearly 4800 acres of bog, adjoining the Curragh of Kildare. A fair is held on Dec. 21st, and there is a grist-mill within the limits of the parish. Tully House is the residence of Wm. Dunne Esq. A commandery of Knights Hospitallers existed here from an early period, and was richly endowed; several chapters of the order were held here, and it continued to flourish until the Reformation. It is now held with the bishoprick of Kildare, as part of the corps thereof: the possessions consist of upwards of 20 townships or places yielding tithes to the bishop, in some cases the whole, and in others two-thirds: the tithes amount to £323.17.3. Under the provisions of the Church Temporalities act the proceeds of this parish will, on the next avoidance of the bishoprick, become vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. In the Roman Catholic divisions it forms part of the union or district of Kildare and Rathangan. Some remains of the ancient religious house and its chapel still exist. General Sarsfield, who served under James II., lived in this parish. On taking down the house, several spoons and curious bottles were found.[Lewis 1837]

There were three abbeys in Kildare in Medieval times. The Black Abbey was founded by the knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem in 1212 at Tully, and the knights Hospitaller used the Abbey as a guest house. Little is known of the foundation, though it was important enough to have had a number of Chapters of the order held there. The ruins of the abbey are set in an ancient graveyard. The monks who lived at Tully were monk soldiers organised to assist pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land and to protect the Places sacred to Christians which were in danger from the 'Mahommedan Infidels'. Their first foundation was in the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. The order had four ranks of monks: the armour-clad warrior on horseback with lance and heavy sword; the foot soldier with bow and arrow; the farmer who tilled the land, and the chaplains who ministered to the spiritual wants of the brethren. All members had vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and wore a habit of white with a red cross on the left shoulder. The ensign of the order was a white flag with a black cross. Hence the Abbey was called ‘The Black Abbey.’ The house at Tully which signifies ‘a rising ground’ is dated from 1290 and lasted till its suppression by Henry VIII. It was an important commandery holding jurisdiction direct from the Pope. It was exempt from taxation and had the right of sanctuary; that is, lawbreakers who found shelter within its precincts could not be molested. It owned upwards of three hundred acres. The order was abolished in 1312 and its property transferred to the Knights of St. John, afterwards called the Knights of Malta. It was suggested that they may have bred horses there at this time. The preceptory at Tully was overpowered by King Henry VIII in 1538, all the property of Tully was confiscated by the crown and the monks dispersed. The land was bestowed upon David Sutton of the Irish Privy Council in 1539 and it ultimately passed to the Sarsfield family. Patrick Sarsfield the famous General was almost certainly born at Tully c.1650. He fought against King William at the Battle of the Boyne and the Siege of Limerick. After the Treaty of Limerick many lands belonging to Catholics including those at Tully were confiscated. The property here changed hands many times in the Confederacy wars and was left in ruin. Patrick Sarsfield went to France at the head of the Wild Geese. He continued as a soldier in the Frnech Army but was killed in battle a few years later aged 43.[Geograph, Kildare as a Medieval Irish Town, Abbeys of Kildare, Grey Abbey Conservation Project] St Brigid's Well is located close to the Black Abbey near the site of the millrace, which was used by St. Brigid. This well is a site for religious devotion particularly on St. Brigid's annual feast day of February 1st.[Kildare Town Heritage Trail]

Kildare Cathedral is located on the original grounds of an earlier wooden church dedicated to St. Brigid, which was burnt in the 9th century. Between 1223 and 1230 the present Cathedral was built by Ralph of Bristol. It was semi-ruinous by the year 1500, derelict by 1649, partially rebuilt in 1686 and finally restored to its present form from 1875-1896. Its environs include a Round Tower and a high cross. Major Restoration works took place in 1996. One of it's distinguishing features is the three light window, which depicts scenes from the three Saints of Ireland - Patrick, Brigid and Columcille.Interestingly, Kildare is where St. Brigid is supposed to have founded her first convent. It is believed that the Cathedral was built on the site of her convent, but this is by no means certain.[Kildare Town Heritage Trail, KildareB&B] Kildare is one of the oldest towns in Ireland. It originated in pre-Christian times when it was the site of a shrine to the Celtic Goddess Brigid. It later became the site of a monastery founded by St Brigid in the late 5th century. It is generally accepted that towns, as such, did not exist in Ireland before the Vikings began to establish the coastal towns. However in the 7th. century a monk of the Kildare community described Kildare as "a vast metropolitan city". There is mention of a "street of the stone steps" in Kildare at the beginning of the 10th. century, indicating that Kildare had developed urban characteristics long before the Vikings came to Ireland. It can therefore claim to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, town in Ireland. St Brigid's foundation was named Cill Dara (the Church of the Oak) from which is derived the modern name of Kildare. The foundation flourished from the early 7th. century onwards. It became a centre of learning and a school was established which attracted pupils from abroad as well as from the sons of the Gaelic nobility. Naturally as the foundation grew, the requirement for artisans, traders, and tillers of the soil also grew until Kildare became at least a proto-town. As it grew in importance it also grew in political and secular importance. The local kings of Leinster, who at the time had their base in Naas, made sure to keep tight political control over the foundation. The Annals of Ireland have many references to Kildare and its church during the ninth, tenth and eleventh centuries, principally relating to raids and plunderings by Vikings and native Irish alike, the first of 15 attacks in Kildare occurred in 835. Shortly after the Normans landed in Ireland in 1169, they occupied Kildare and Strongbow made it the centre of his campaign to conquer Leinster. The Welsh chronicler of the Norman Invasion, Giraldus Cambrensis, recorded his impressions of Kildare with its round tower and marvellous manuscript as well as legends of St. Brigid. It is also in this early period that there is a first mention of a castle in Kildare; this was probably a motte and bailey castle. The first stone castle was built by the Earl Marshal on the site of the present castle in the early 13th. century. At this time also the cathedral was built as were other religious "abbeys". Being a frontier town of the Pale, Kildare was subject to raids by the dispossessed native Irish and the castle also withstood a siege by Edward Bruce in the winter of 1315/16. The town passed into the possession of the Fitzgerald family and was garrisoned during the Confederate Wars in the 1640s, during which the cathedral was totally ruined. Following these troubles the town was described as being nearly 'dis-inhabited'. In 1798 Kildare was deeply involved in the Rebellion. Lord Edward Fitzgerald, the leader of the rebellion, had his home in the town and some 350 local men were massacred in Gibbet Rath in the early days of the rebellion when they were trying to surrender. Today with its easy access to Dublin by road and rail, Kildare has becoming a dormitory town of Dublin.[Kildare, Short History of Kildare Town, Kildare Parish] Kildare is a market town, the seat of a diocess, and formerly a parliamentary borough, in the barony of Ophaly, and parish and county of its name, 32 miles SW; situated on the mail roads between Dublin, Cork and Limerick. The town derives its name from Kill-dara, or Chille-darraigh, the “Church or cell of the Oak,” from the circumstances of the first Christian church, founded here, having its site amongst trees of that kind. The town, which is the property of the Duke of Leinster, enjoys but little trade, yet, from the numerous remains of its ancient religious edifices, it possesses an aspect of importance, and boasts two admirably conducted hotels, for families and commercial gentlemen-they are called the “Rosmore Arms” and the “Leinster Arms,” and are both posting establishments. James II conferred upon the inhabitants a charter of incorporation; the municipal body consisting of a sovereign, two portrieves, and a certain number of burgesses and freemen, assisted by a recorder, with other officers; for many years these officials have, however, ceased to exercise any judicial functions, indeed the corporation may be said to be virtually extinct, and the government of the town is now vested in the magistrates, who sit in petty session every alternate Thursday in the court-house, a plain structure. Quarter sessions are likewise held in April and October, in the same building. The cathedral of Kildare has long been in a ruinous condition, and although at various times partially repaired, it appears, at the present day, but a mass of ruins. The original structure dates its existence from a very early period; and it was repaired and adorned by Bishop Ralph, of Bristol, who enjoyed the see of Kildare from 1223 to 1232. The south transept is a ruin; the nave, which stands unroofed, displays some arches, and other architectural features, in the pointed style. The choir retains both walls and roof, and is used as the parish church; it contains the sepulchral vault of the Earls of Kildare and Dukes of Leinster. In the church-yard is the lofty pedestal of an ancient stone cross; and about thirty yards west of the cathedral is the interesting “Pillar-Tower of Kildare,” full one hundred and thirty feet high. Its origin is variously ascribed to the Danes, who, it is supposed, erected it as a watch tower; while others contend that this and similar towers, of which there are many in Ireland, are connected with the services of religion. Besides the cathedral, the other places of worship are the Roman Catholic chapel, a fine spacious edifice; the chapel attached to a Carmelite friary, and one belonging to the Presentation Convent. The principal charitable institution is the county infirmary, erected in 1780, munificently presented to the county by the Duke of Leinster. It will accommodate fifty patients, and in connection with it is a dispensary, the whole under the able management of W. P. Geoghegan, M.D. There are schools under the dean and chapter, and also the national board-the instruction of the female pupils of the latter is undertaken by the nuns of the Presentation Cconvent, who confer a great amount of benefit on the children of the poor, by their laudable exertions in the path of eduation. Near to the town is the celebrated “Curragh of Kildare,” supposed to be one of the finest commons in Europe, and containing, within its limits, three hare parks. Race meetings are held on the Curragh in April, June, September, and October. In September, 1821, his late Majesty, George IV, who visited these races, contributed to the club a whip of 100 guineas value to be run for annually. The market is held on Thursday; and fairs February 12th, April 5th and 26th, May 12th, June 29th, and September 19th. Population of the town, in 1841, 1,629.[Slater 1846] Grey Abbey was erected by Lord William De Vesci for the Franciscan Friars between 1254 and 1260. Later the lands of Kildare passed to John Fitzthomas and so to the Earls of Kildare. The Earls of Kildare were buried in this tomb in the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin up to the beginning of the 17th century. The monastery then ceased to exist although guardians were appointed by the Franciscans up to the year 1729. The monastery was supported by alms and a special gratuity from the king. For many years the monks were Normans but gradually Irish aspirants were accepted. The monastery had property around the immediate vicinity and in Shanacloon. The Friars, as in every other monastery, lived a life of work and prayer. The monastery was suppressed about 1543 and its lands and buildings and valuables confiscated and granted to Daniel Sutton. Some of their property seems to have been overlooked, for in 1589 the remainder was confiscated. The buildings gradually fell into disrepair and by the year 1792, although a portion of the walls remained, all the architectural features were lost. Some ancient sculptured stones were taken from there for safety and inserted in the wall of the White Abbey Church where they are still to be seen. The ivy-clad walls show where the Abbey once stood. The abbey was named after the grey habits worn by the order in medieval times.[Grey Abbey Conservation Project, Abbeys of Kildare, Kildare Town Heritage Trail]

Forbes is a town in the Central West of NSW. Forbes is probably named after Sir Francis Forbes, first Chief Justice of NSW. It is on the banks of the Lachlan River, 245m above sea-level & about 380km west of Sydney. The district is a cropping area where wheat and similar crops are grown. John Oxley passed through in 1817 during one of the first inland expeditions. Oxley named the site Camp Hill. He was unimpressed with the clay soil, poor timber and swamps and he concluded, it is impossible to imagine a worse country. The first settlers moved into the district in 1834. Gold was discovered by Harry Stephens, also known as "German Harry", in June 1861. Initially about 30,000 people moved to the goldfields, but by 1863 this had declined to about 3,500 because of the difficult mining conditions. The goldfields were originally named "Black Ridge", and the name "Forbes" celebrating Sir Francis Forbes was declared from Sydney as the result of a possible government administrative error, it is said that the name was meant for the town now known as "Hill End" between Orange and Mudgee where gold was discovered around a similar time. Gold was initially found in the area known as Halpin's Flat. The Albion Hotel, once a Cobb and Co. stage coach stop, has tunnels situated underneath which were used during the gold rush to convey gold and money to and from the banks to minimise the chance of theft. The Albion Hotel burnt down in 2009. One of Australia's most renowned bushrangers, Ben Hall, was shot dead in gun battle about 20km to the north-west of town on 5/5/1865. Hall and his gang were famous for stealing 77kg of gold and £3,700 from the near-by town of Eugowra in 1862. He is buried in the Forbes Cemetery.[Wikipedia] Waterloo is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, NSW, Australia. Waterloo is located 4km south of the Sydney central business district. Waterloo took its name from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, when Allied and Prussian forces under the Duke of Wellington and Blücher defeated the French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte. In the 1820s Waterloo began supporting industrial operations including the Fisher and Duncan Paper Mill and the Waterloo Flour Mills owned by William Hutchinson and Daniel Cooper. William Hutchinson, superindendent of convicts and public works, had been granted 1,400 acres of land in 1823. He sold Waterloo Farm to Daniel Cooper & Solomon Levey. Cooper later bought out Levey's share and on his death the Waterloo Estate passed onto his son, also named Daniel Cooper, who was the first speaker of the NSW Legislative Assembly. Waterloo has been a relatively poor area until recent times. It is still dominated by public housing estates for those on low-incomes, which were built in the second half of the 20th century by the NSW Department of Housing. Today, despite some social problems in some parts of the suburb, Waterloo is undergoing gentrification with a rising business district focusing on technology-oriented firms and the development of more green space such as parks.[Wikipedia] Sydney Hospital is a major hospital in Sydney, Australia, located on Macquarie Street in the Sydney CBD. It is the oldest hospital in Australia, dating back to 1788, and has been at its current location since 1811. It first received the name Sydney Hospital in 1881. Upon his arrival in the Colony of New South Wales in 1810, Governor Macquarie discovered that the Sydney Cove's hospital was an affair of tents and temporary buildings. Macquarie set aside land on the western edge of the Government Domain for a new hospital and created a new road – Macquarie Street – to provide access to it. Plans were drawn up but the British Government refused to provide funds to build the hospital. Consequently, Macquarie entered into a contract with a consortium of businessmen to erect the new hospital. Convict patients were transferred to Governor Macquarie’s new hospital in 1816. As the hospital was nearing completion in 1815, the now famous convict architect Francis Greenway was asked to report on the quality of the work. He condemned it, claiming that it "must soon fall into ruin". Short-cuts had been taken with the construction and there were weak joints in the structural beams, rotting stonework, feeble foundations, and dry rot in the timbers. Macquarie ordered the contractors to remedy these defects but by 1820 the southern wing was deemed particularly unsafe, with reports that some of it had collapsed and had to be rebuilt. Around this time Greenway was commissioned to undertake repairs to both the wings of the hospital, including alterations to the roof of the southern wing and the rearrangement of its internal spaces. Many defects present from the original construction remained hidden away until the extensive restoration of the 1980s. The deteriorated centre building was demolished in 1879 and in 1880 Thomas Rowe won an architectural competition held to find a new design with his Victorian Classical Revival design. Rowe was heavily criticised for under quoting building costs in order to win the contract and work halted for some years after partial construction, awaiting the approval of additional funds. Architect John Kirkpatrick completed the new hospital in 1894 to a revised design.[Wikipedia]

St Patrick's, Parramatta. Although it became the most recently completed Cathedral in Australia in 2003, the history of St Patrick’s can be traced as far back as 1792, when five local Catholic lay people petitioned Governor Philip to appoint a priest to minister Parramatta. In 1803 it was announced by Governor King that Father James Dixon would fill the role. The first Mass in Parramatta was celebrated by Fr Dixon on 22 May 1803, but his appointment was revoked after the ‘Vinegar Hill Rebellion’ at Castle Hill in 1804. Mass wasn’t celebrated in Parramatta again until 1820 with Father Therry, and St Patrick’s was officially established in 1827. The Foundation Stone was laid 17/3/1836 & the church was consecrated 28/5/1837. A larger church was commissioned in 1854, with the Foundation Stone laid on 13 August of that year. The 1880s saw the addition of St Patrick’s tower and spire. In 1936, a new church was built on the site to meet the needs of a growing congregation. In 1986, St Patrick’s was designated a Cathedral with the establishment of the Catholic Diocese of Parramatta. On 19/2/1996, the Cathedral was destroyed by fire. On 29/11/2003 the new St Patrick’s Cathedral was dedicated. The old St Patrick’s Cathedral is now a Blessed Sacrament Chapel and adjoining it is a large contemporary Cathedral.[Catholic Diocese of Parramatta] Parramatta is a suburb and major urban centre of Sydney, NSW, Australia. It is located in Greater Western Sydney 23km west of the Sydney central business district on the banks of the Parramatta River. It is a major urban centre of New South Wales; the economic capital of Greater Western Sydney; and the sixth largest central business district in Australia. Parramatta was founded in 1788, the same year as Sydney. The British Colony, which had arrived in January 1788 in the First Fleet at Sydney Cove, had only enough food to support itself for a short time and the soil around Sydney Cove proved too poor to grow the amount of food that 1,000 convicts, soldiers and administrators needed to survive. During 1788, Governor Arthur Phillip had reconnoitred several places before choosing Parramatta as the most likely place for a successful large farm. Parramatta was the furthest navigable point inland on the Parramatta River (ie furthest from the thin, sandy coastal soil) and also the point at which the river became freshwater and therefore useful for farming. On Sunday 2 November 1788, Governor Phillip took a detachment of marines along with a surveyor and, in boats, made his way upriver to a location that he called The Crescent, a defensible hill curved round a river bend, now in Parramatta Park. As a settlement developed, Governor Phillip gave it the name "Rose Hill" (now used for a nearby suburb) which in 1791 he changed to Parramatta, approximating the term used by the local Aboriginal people. In an attempt to deal with the food crisis, Phillip in 1789 granted a convict named James Ruse the land of Experiment Farm at Parramatta on the condition that he develop a viable agriculture. There Ruse became the first person to successfully grow grain in Australia. The Parramatta area was also the site of John Macarthur's pioneering of the Australian wool industry at Elizabeth Farm in the 1790s. Governor Arthur Phillip built a small house for himself on the hill of The Crescent. In 1799 this was replaced by a larger residence which, substantially improved by Governor Lachlan Macquarie from 1815 to 1818, has survived to the present day, used as a retreat by Governors until the 1850s with one Governor (Governor Brisbane) making it his principal home for a short period in the 1820s. The house, Old Government House, is currently a historic site and museum within Parramatta Park and is Australia's oldest surviving public building.[Wikipedia] Newtown, a suburb of Sydney's inner west is located 4km SW of the Sydney central business district. King Street is the main street of Newtown and centre of commercial and entertainment activity. The street follows the spine of a long ridge that rises up near Sydney University and extends to the south, becoming the Princes Highway at its southern end. King street, Newtown's main street, reputedly follows an ancient Aboriginal track that branched out from the main western track, now beneath Broadway and Parramatta Road, and which continued all the way to the coastal plains around Botany Bay. Newtown was established as a residential and farming area in the early 19th century. The area took its name from a grocery store opened there by John and Eliza Webster in 1832, at a site close to where the Newtown railway station stands today. They placed a sign atop their store that read "New Town Stores". The name New Town was adopted, at first unofficially, with the space disappearing to form the name Newtown. The part of Newtown lying south of King Street was a portion of the two estates granted by Governor Arthur Phillip to the Superintendent of Convicts, Nicholas Devine. In 1827, when Devine was aged about 90, this land was acquired from him by a convict, Bernard Rochford, who sold it to many of Sydney's wealthiest and most influential inhabitants including the mayor. The land was further divided into the housing that is now evidenced by the rows of terrace houses and commercial and industrial premises. Part of the area now falling within the present boundaries of Newtown, north of King Street, was originally part of Camperdown. This area was named by Governor William Bligh who received it as a land grant in 1806 and who passed it to his daughter and son-in-law on his return to England in 1810. In 1848 part of this land was acquired by the Sydney Church of England Cemetery Company to create a general cemetery beyond the boundary of the City of Sydney. From 1845, when the first Anglican church was built on the site of the present Community Centre on Stephen Street, by Edmund Blacket, a number of churches were established, including St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in the 1850s. On December 12, 1862 the Municipality of Newtown was incorporated and divided into three wards covering 480 acres.[Wikipedia]

Surry Hills is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, in the state of NSW, Australia. Surry Hills is located immediately south-east of the Sydney central business district. The first land grants in Surry Hills were made in the 1790s. Major Joseph Foveaux received 105 acres. His property was known as Surry Hills Farm, after the Surrey Hills in Surrey, England. Commissary John Palmer received 90 acres. He called the property George Farm and in 1800 Palmer also bought Foveaux's farm. In 1792, the boundaries of the Sydney Cove settlement were established between the head of Cockle Bay to the head of Woolloomooloo Bay. West of the boundary, which included present-day Surry Hills, was considered suitable for farming and was granted to military officers and free settlers. Due to the hilly terrain, much of the suburb was considered remote and 'inhospitable'. In the early years of the nineteenth century the area around what is now Prince Alfred Park was undeveloped land known as the Government Paddocks or Cleveland Paddocks. A few villas were built in the suburb in the late 1820s. The suburb remained one of contrasts for much of the nineteenth century, with the homes of wealthy merchants mixed with that of the commercial and working classes. In 1820, Governor Macquarie ordered the consecration of the Devonshire Street Cemetery. A brick wall was erected before any interments took place to enclose its 4 acres. Within a four year period the cemetery was expanded by the addition of 7 acres to its south. A road was formed along the southern boundary of the cemetery in the first half of the 1830s and was called Devonshire Street. The Devonshire Street cemetery, where many of the early settlers were buried, was later moved to build the Sydney railway terminus. Terrace houses and workers' cottages were built in Surry Hills from the 1850s. Light industry became established in the area, particularly in the rag trade (clothing industry). It became a working class suburb, predominately inhabited by Irish immigrants. The suburb developed a reputation for crime and vices. The famous Sydney underworld figure Kate Leigh (1881–1964), lived in Surry Hills for more than 80 years. Surry Hills was favoured by newly arrived families after World War II when property values were low and accommodation was inexpensive. From the 1980s, the area was gentrified, with many of the area's older houses and building restored and many new upper middle-class residents enjoying the benefits of inner-city living.[Wikipedia]

Glebe is an inner-city suburb of Sydney. Glebe is located 3 km south-west of the Sydney central business district. Glebe's name derives from the fact that the land on which it was developed was a glebe, originally owned by the Anglican Church. 'The Glebe' was a land grant of 400 acres given by Governor Arthur Phillip to Reverend Richard Johnson, Chaplain of the First Fleet, in 1790. In the 19th century, Glebe was home to architect, Edmund Blacket, who had migrated from England. Blacket built his family home, Bidura, on Glebe Point Road in 1858, designing it along conventional Victorian Regency lines. He also designed St John's Church, on the corner of Glebe Point Road and St Johns Road. The Rozelle Tram Depot, located in The Crescent, Glebe, opened for service on the 17th April 1904. The depot served the inner western suburbs tram routes to Leichhardt, Balmain, Birchgrove, Abbotsford, and Lilyfield. During its peak of operations the depot was a major place of employment, employing up to 650 staff and was one of few workplaces of significant size in the Glebe area during its period.

In 1908 Annie was the face of an advertisement for "Dr Williams' Pink Pills".[54] According to the biographical-like advertisement, as a child Annie was paralysed through some illness, possibly rheumatic fever, and was cured after taking a course of Dr Williams' Pink Pills.[54]

"Bedridden for Two Years Through Rheumatism.
A Woman's Terrible Sufferngs-In Pain Day and Night. So Helpless had to be Wheeled in an Invalid's Chair. Hospital Treatment Useless. Doctor after Doctor said Her Case was Hopeless. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Her. Now an actíve Woman.
In the case of Mrs Annie Terrence, 13 Ivy-street, Darlington, Sydney, Dr Williams' Pink Pills cured Rheumatism in as severe a form as it's possible for one to have it. She was for months a bed-ridden cripple, unable to move, and for some years at best she could only limp about. She was wheeled about in an invalid's chair and was told by docotors that she would never be better. Dr Williams' Pink Pills, which cure rheumatism by driving out the acid in the blood that causes the complaint, cured her. No wonder so many other Rheumatic sufferers are trying them.
'Some, years ago, when I was at the Sussex-street Public-School, I felt a sharp pain in my right ankle, and I could only limp home,' said Mrs Annie, Terrance. 'I got worse each day. Mother thought I was shamming, and sent me to school with one boot on and one off. The cold served to make me worse, and at last one day after sitting still in school I got so numbed in the leg that I couldn't move, and my sister had to run home and get mother to come and carry me back. She put me to bed and from then until three months after I never rose from it. Soon my leg was attacked, and I suffered agonies. I couldn't move in bed. Mother had to raise and turn me. Sharp twinges of pain would dart through both legs up to my waist. I was numbed and paralysed. I was in pain all the time, both night and day. For nights I would not close my eyes. Mother would be up the live-long night, poulticing and rubbing me. I fretted terribly and wasted to a skeleton. I'd cry with pain. I had liniments applied every day, and poultices of salt, mustard, and bran to try and ease the burning pain for an hour, or so. I had all the medical advice possible. One doctor said I had rheumatism, another paralysis, and another hip disease. After those three months I was able to get out of bed, but I was lame all the time, and not able to go outside the door. I'd just, limp about, and was, except for this as bad as ever; and I'd often have to lay up perhaps for three months at a time. All the fresh air I got was when I was taken, out in an invalid's chair. And I hated the passers-by seeing me so helpless. I went on this way untill I was 13, and then I got a worse turn than ever. I took to my bed then for two solid years. I was quite bloodless. My lips were white and my face waxy. You could almost see through my hands and ears. I looked like a little corpse. I never had any appetite. Mother has to coax me with all sorts of dainties. The doctors said my casa was hopeless. I could only live for three or four years at the most, and mother thought that death was the kindest thing that could happen tn me. I was always suffering so dreadfully. I could only sit up in bed when propped with pillows, and then only for a few minutes at a time. I couldn't do anything like reading or sewing. I was taken to Prince Alfred Hospital and stayed there a week. They said I had hip disease, and wanted to operate; but my parents thought I wws too weak, so they took me away as I came, in an invalid's chair. Mother carried mr out of thr ward, and I was so wasted that my bones were almost through the skin. I was quite used to visitors coming to-see me and whispering pityingly that I was dying. I had also pains in my arms and the most frightful headaches on the top of my head. For hours at a time I couldn't see out of my eyes with the splitting pain. I was just a helpless log. Mother gave me Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills as a last resource, for she read a lot about them in the papers. The first few doses seemed to do me good. I felt a strange tingling in both legs, just like countless needle pricks. I was given one pill three times a day. When I was halfway through the first box I noticed that my knees were not quite so stiff and set as they had been, and I could actually draw them up a little in the bed. If I'd tried this before I'd have suffered agonies. In a few more days I began to get a little appetite, and a little color crept into my face. Mother could hardly believe her eyes. After that I grew better every day and began to talk a little. Previously I had never spoke. I hadn't' been taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills very long when one day when mother's back was turned, I thought that I'd get out of bed. I felt so much stronger. I did so and actually walked a few steps. When mother saw me she nearly fainted with joy und surprise. I did this every day, lengthening the time each day, and at last I was able to leave bed for good during the day and walk about with a crutch and a stick. My joints were still stiff, but they were getting more supple every day. My appetite kept increasing, till I was quite anxious for mealtime, and I began to fill out. I put on flesh every day, and improved in every direction, getting stronger every week, and those dreadful headaches left me for good. My eyes got bright, and in a month's time I was able to go out by myself, but slowly at first. I hadn't walked for years, and had al most forgotten how to. When I left off taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was cured for good. I've never had the slightest twinge of rheumatism since. For two years after I got well friends would meet me in the street and wonder if it could possibly be Annie Connelly walking, for they never expected to see me about again.'

The front door was then opened, and the body of a child was thrown onto the porch. A woman, also wounded, ran onto the porch, screaming. She collapsed over the body of the child.

Darlington is a small, inner-city suburb of Sydney, in the state of NSW, Australia, about 3km south of the Sydney central business district. William Shepherd, a botanist, was offered 200 acres by the British colonists in 1827. He refused the grant because he wanted to live closer to town and was given land to the north-east. In 1835, he held about 28 acres here where he cultivated a nursery garden. He named it Darling Nursery, in honour of Governor Ralph Darling. The suburb became known as Darlingtown, which gradually was corrupted to Darlington. Street names such as Ivy, Vine, Rose, Pine and Myrtle recall the nursery origins. Although Darlington is small, it can be split into a number of sub-suburban divisions including the Golden Grove locality. The western half of the suburb is a campus of the University of Sydney, the eastern half is an area largely populated by students from the university because housing is relatively cheap. Most of Darlington is built on the terrace house model. This means that undetached, two storey terraces face one another across a small street. Behind these houses is usually a back lane, of one-car width, or a pedestrian access lane. These lanes were colloquially known as dunny lanes because they were originally used to provide access for human waste collection. Darlington was historically a suburb of the industrial working class. It had often been used as a student dormitory suburb due to its proximity to the University of Sydney. Controversially, the suburb has been almost completely taken over by the University, which acquired a large number of houses in Darlington in the 1980s and levelled large sections of the suburb to make way for extensions to its campus.[Wikipedia]

Crown Street Women's Hospital
J. Bar [Wikimedia]

Crown Street Women's Hospital (now-closed) was once the largest maternity hospital in Sydney. It was located at 351 Crown Street, Surry Hills. The hospital was one of several stand-alone maternity hospitals in Sydney, none of which remain. It opened in 1893, and was closed in 1983. During its 90 year life, it trained hundreds of midwives and doctors. When Westmead Hospital opened in Sydney's west, Crown St Hospital's maternity facilities were moved there, along with the general medical and surgical departments of Sydney Hospital on Macquarie Street, and the hospital was closed. The site has now been redeveloped. Founded by Dr James Graham in 1893, the Women's Hospital in Crown Street aimed to lift the medical standards for maternity care. In addition to providing wards for surgical cases and complicated births the Hospital provided treatment in homes. Initial funding of the Women's Hospital came from mostly from public subscription.[Wikipedia]

No.531 Kent Street, The Judge's House, is of historic significance as the earliest surviving single storey freestanding house in the central area of Sydney. It is associated with important early residents of New South Wales: William Harper, Surveyor and the probable architect of the house and Judge Dowling of the Supreme Court. The building is also historically significant as the site of the City Night Refuge and Soup Kitchen (a pioneer charitable organisation) for over 100 years. The Judge’s House is of aesthetic significance as a rare example of an 1820s Colonial Georgian bungalow, surviving in nearly original form and retaining landscaping reminiscent of its original Kent Street setting. The building is of technical significance for the amount of original fabric which survives as evidence of the high quality of building and decorative skills available in Sydney in the 1820s. (It is now home to Tetsuya's Restaurant is widely regarded as one of the top 5 restaurants in the world, officially with the address of No.529. The site of Owen's residence in 1933 is now the restaurant carpark).[Heritage NSW] Pyrmont is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, 2km south-west of the Sydney central busines & part of the Darling Harbour region. Pyrmont was once a vital component of Sydney's industrial waterfront, with wharves, shipbuilding yards, factories and woolstores. As industry moved out, the population and the area declined. In recent years it has experienced redevelopment with an influx of residents and office workers. Pyrmont contained a mineral spring of cold water bubbling out of a rock and was thus named for a similar natural spring in Bad Pyrmont, close to Hanover, Germany. The area was also the site of the first Presbyterian Church in the colony, built in 1864 and situated in Mount Street. The congregation eventually outgrew the premises and had to move to a new church at Quarry Street, Ultimo. Thomas Jones was granted 55 acres of land on the peninsula in 1795. Land was sold to Obadiah Ikin in 1796 for 10 pounds, which he then sold to Captain John Macarthur in 1799 for a gallon of rum. Pyrmont quarries provided sandstone for many of Sydney's 19th century buildings. The first Pyrmont Bridge opened in 1858. A larger bridge with a swinging span opened in 1902. Pyrmont became a working class industrial and port community. A major sugar refinery was operated by CSR Limited. In 1900 the area had a population of around 30,000. It was considered to be a slum area in the 19th century. Its population declined to only 1,800 by 1978 & by 1991 the population had dropped to around 900.[Wikipedia] Herne Bay, now known as Riverwood, is a suburb in southern Sydney, 18km SW of the Sydney central business district. White settlement in the area officially began in 1810 with a series of land grants. When the East Hills railway line came through the area in 1931, the station was called Herne Bay. The area was subdivided in 1919 and redeveloped in 1942 during World War 2, when the Government of Australia and the Allied Works Council establish an army base hospital barracks for the United States Army, the 118 General Hospital. The hospital was built at a cost of one-million pounds and consisted of 490 barrack type buildings containing approximately four-thousand-two-hundred and fifty beds. The hospital was staffed by doctors and nurses from The Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. The site was visited by General MacArthur, First Lady Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt, Artie Shaw’s Band and Bob Hope. In October 1944 the US hospital left for the liberation of the Philippines. The Royal Navy (UK) then opened a hospital to treat wounded members of the British Pacific Fleet in the vacated buildings. The Australian army occupied some of the other sections. After the war the military departed, and the hospital barrack buildings of timber and corrugated iron were handed over to the Housing Commission in 1946 and converted into public housing to relieve housing shortages. Two or three families were housed in each hut and this led to social problems and the area of Herne Bay gained an unsavoury reputation. The suburb developed an unsavoury reputation for poverty, overcrowding and violence, and its name was later changed to Riverwood in 1957, in large part to remove the stigma associated with living there. From the 1950s onwards, purpose-built utilitarian public housing apartment blocks and freestanding bungalows replaced most of the former military buildings on the northern side of the railway line, while the southern part of the suburb was mostly privately developed.[Canterbury Council, Wikipedia]

Terrace houses, Augustus Street, Enmore
RealEstate.com

Enmore is a suburb in the inner-west of Sydney, in the state of NSW, Australia, located 5km south-west of the Sydney central business district. Enmore was named after Enmore House, built in 1835 by Captain Sylvester Browne, a master mariner with the British East India Company. Browne named his house after the West Indian estate of a business associate, the head of James Cavan & Co, which in turn took its name from the London suburb. Browne's son wrote several Australian classics, including Robbery Under Arms, under the name of Rolf Boldrewood.[Wikipedia]

The above boxing match was between Private F. Terrence, 2/13 Infantry Battalion (No.2) & Private K. Burke, 2/32 Infantry battalion (No.3), participating in the gala night of boxing and vaudeville at Royal Australian Engineers Headquarters, 9th Division. The event was refereed by Sapper J. Kilkenny, 2/27 Field Company, Royal Australian Engineers (No.1) & resulted in a draw.[Aust. War Memorial] The Rats of Tobruk was the name given to the soldiers of the garrison who held the Libyan port of Tobruk against the Afrika Corps, during the Siege of Tobruk in World War II. The siege started on 10 April 1941 and was finally relieved at the end of November. Australian troops of the Australian 9th Division and the 18th Brigade of the Australian 7th Division under Lieutenant General Leslie Morshead made up more than half of the Allied presence in Tobruk with a total strength of over 14,000 men. The rest of the garrison was made up of 12,000 British and Indian troops. In what proved to be a propaganda mis-step, Lord Haw-Haw derisively referred to the Garrison as "poor desert rats of Tobruk" during radio broadcasts. The Australians gave themselves the nickname 'the Rats of Tobruk' after Radio Berlin described the Australians as 'caught like rats in a trap'. In a typically Australian dry wit, Australians reclaimed the name as a badge of pride, even going so far as to strike their own unofficial medal bearing the likeness of a rat. The metal used to make the medals came from a German bomber the Rats had shot down with captured German guns. Throughout the conflict the Axis attackers had at least twice the manpower and had the advantage of strong air support while the Tobruk garrison had little air support because of the remoteness of friendly air bases. At this time, Rommel's Afrika Korps had never been defeated. During the first phase of the offensive the Rats were mostly concerned with constructing and reinforcing their defenses and observing the enemy. After a few months, however, purely defensive operations gave way to patrols. Commonly an attack would involve crawling several miles, surrounding the enemy position, followed by a concerted rush with bayonets. In most cases the action was over in a minute or two, more often than not without a shot fired. Probably the most well-known single offensive action by the Rats was a fighting patrol led by Lieutenant William Horace Noyes, which stalked and destroyed three German light tanks, and killed or wounded the crews of 7 machine-gun and 11 anti-tank gun positions and their protective infantry. In addition, they damaged a German heavy tank, killed and wounded 130 in the process of taking a German garrison, most in the initial bayonet charge. No Rats were lost that night. During 9th Australian Division's stay in the besieged Tobruk some 3000 Australians had become casualties and 941 taken prisoner. The Rats of Tobruk hold an identifiable place within the ranks of returned servicemen, particularly in Australia.[Wikipedia]

This family first appears in Co Kildare in the 1820s and remained in the county for a decade or two at the most - by the time of the Griffiths Valuation in 1853 there was no trace of this family living in the county. The family was located in the Monasterevin Roman Catholic parish, which is on the border with Co Laois (known as Queen's County in the 1800s). Terrence's with similar forenames can be found living in Co Laois throughout the 1800s into the 20th century and it seems reasonable to assume that this Co Kildare family group was a branch of the Co Laois Terrence's which temporarily relocated across the border into Co Kildare. Coincidently, a member of this family, John Terence, was sent to Australia in 1844 as a convict, transported to Tasmania and relocating to Victoria upon the expiry of his sentence. This family eventually adopted the spelling "Terrens". One of John's children moved to NSW, according to [94], presumably a daughter since only one son, Patrick, is unaccounted for and all the Terrences in NSW are otherwise accounted for.

Thomas Terrace, s/o Robert, first appears in South Australia with his marriage there in 1865. He died just 10 years later, leaving a widow and several children. I have not been able to find any further information on Thomas' origin. he was born before South Australia was first settled (1840) so was clearly an emigrant. There is also no trace of his father in Australia. An examination of the South Australian Biographical Index &/or passenger records may give additional details on his origin, however that is beyond the scope of this work. If you are connected with his family, feel free to email me additional details & I will include them here.
