| 59 | Edward Porter, or Neddie, as he was later affectionately referred to by family, was born on 13th November 1814 at Maxey, Northamptonshire England to Edward and Elizabeth (nee Appleby) Porter who married in the hamlet of St John the Baptist in Petersborough, Northamptonshire in 1812. Edward senior’s father, also Edward, was a farmer of some wealth – in his will dated 1810, he bequeathed several hundred pounds to each of several family members. Neddie grew up with a rural background and worked as a ploughman. He was a tall man, being 184cm in height and was of strong physique. He enlisted in the British Army on 27th January 1832 and served in the Grenadier Guards for seven years. Edward appears to have found army life restrictive. Muster records for the regiment show that his service life was characterised by numerous references to being absent without leave, charged with desertion and frequent drunkenness. After seven years in and out of trouble things finally came to a head when he was court martialled for striking a corporal. He was convicted and sentenced to seven years penal servitude. He was 25 years of age when he was transported as a convict to Van Diemen’s Land on 8th December 1839 on the “Langton”. He arrived in Hobart in 1840 and was assigned to work for a Mr Manly in Launceston. The relationship was not amicable. On 9th December 1840 Edward was sentenced to 10 days hard labour for being absent without leave. On 22nd January 1841 he was again in trouble for absconding and had his term of transportation extended by 6 months. On 21st July 1841 Edward was found guilty of larceny under the value of ₤5 and on 26th February 1842 following a drunken incident Edward was sentenced to seven days hard labour on the tread wheel. The 6th March 1843 saw Edward discharged from the employ of Mr Manly and was re-assigned to work for the family of William Pritchard Weston who had land holdings south of Launceston in the Longford district and in the lake country near Bothwell. (See Appendix) Edward worked on a property situated near Longford where on 1st March 1845 he received his Ticket of Leave. Edward was eventually granted his certificate for the completion of his sentence on 3rd March 1849. His relationship with the Weston family must have been a more than satisfactory one, as even after completing his sentence Edward continued to work for the family for many years. On 19th January 1852 at 38 years of age Edward married 18yo Mary Jane Graham one of 4000 Irish female orphan adolescents who were sent from the workhouses of Ireland to the Australian colonies at the time of the Great Famine. Their emigration was the brainchild of Earl Grey, secretary of state for the colonies, and primarily designed to meet an Australian demand for domestic servants and marriageable young women. | Porter, Edward (I272216493690)

| 61 | ELIZABETH PECK was born in New South Wales on 20th July 1793 shortly after her parents return from Norfolk Island. Elizabeth left the colony in 1810 on The Hunter, bound for Bengal, where she married Peter Lette. They returned to Van Diemens Land in 1817 where they settled and had a large family. Peter Lette died in 1833. Elizabeth Peck died in 1864. One member of Peter Lette and Elizabeth Peck's large descendancy worthy of mention is writer KATHY LETTE, whose first book, Puberty Blues, co-written with Gabrielle Carey, was published when she was 21. Its depiction of teen culture in Australia's surfing world attracted considerable attention at the time and it was made into a feature film by Bruce Beresford in 1981. Kathy spent some years as a singer in a rock band, a newspaper columnist in Sydney and New York and a television sitcom writer, and has written several plays. In October 2003, she was appointed "Writer in Residence" at the Savoy Hotel, London, joining other literary greats who have held this position, such as Noel Coward, Emile Zola, Oscar Wilde, Somerset Maugham and Mark Twain. Kathys Husband, Geoffrey Robertson QC, has appeared as counsel in many landmark human rights cases. He has handled hundreds of death sentence appeals in the Privy Council and led the defence in the Matrix Churchill trial which exposed the arms to Iraq scandal, and the prosecution in proceedings against Hastings Banda. He defended dissidents detained by Lee Kuan Yew and served as counsel to the Antiguan Royal Commission which exposed the international plot to arm the Medellín cartel. He was the first (and last) advocate permitted to appear in Mozambique's Revolutionary Military Tribunal. In the 1980s he conducted missions to South Africa and Vietnam, and helped to defend the Charter signatories in Prague. Famous for his Australian television program Hypotheticals Robertson is Head of Doughty Street Chambers which comprises some 70 barristers and 30 staff. He is a Recorder and Visiting Professor in Human Rights Law at Birkbeck College. He is an executive member of Justice and a Master of the Middle Temple. His books include Freedom, the Individual and the Law, Media Law, People Against the Press, Does Dracula Have Aids?, and a memoir, The Justice Game, which was published in 1998.Peter Lette was one of the main merchants in Launceston. Peter Lette arrived on Bengal in about 1818 and settled on 400 acres (in Launceston) and kept a public house. He received grain in payment for spirits to the amount of many hundreds of bushels a year. | Lette, Peter Lemonde (I272216492776)

| 82 | HORACE OLLY HARDY was born 12th January 1890 in Scottsdale. In December 1914, Horace Hardy enlisted in the NZ Army under the name of John Henry Hardy. His age on enlistment is recorded as 29 years 11 months, but his age was actually 24 years 11 months. Like his brother, Martin James, he exaggerated his age by 5 years on enlistment. In 1915 Horace Hardys picture appeared in The Weekly Courier, a Tasmanian wartime newspaper, with the caption that he was in Egypt with the Third New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. Egypt served as the training ground for many of the New Zealand and Australian forces. He is recorded as having served at Anzac Cove during the battle at Gallipoli but in May 1915 was admitted to the NZ Field Ambulance suffering from bronchitis, and was subsequently evacuated on board the mine sweeper SS Clacton to the Dardanelles where he was transferred to HS Franconia. In Alexandria he was further transferred to HS Southland, disembarking at the base hospital at Heliopolis. On 25 September 1915 he embarked from Suez on the SS Willochra for the trip home to New Zealand where he was discharged as medically unfit on 1st December 1915. Military records indicate that Horace had a tattoo of a ladys head on his left forearm. After his discharge Horace was awarded the 1914 1915 Star, British War Medal, and the Victory Medal. Shortly after his discharge Horace Hardy returned to Tasmania where he enlisted in the Australian Infantry Forces as a recruitment officer. In 1917 he married Vera Mary Diener, although it is unknown if they had any children. | Hardy, Horace Olly (John Henry) (I272216493359)

| 87 | Isaac Walker was born on 5 Mar 1845 in Perth, WA. He died on 14 Sep 1900 in Mt Magnet WA. Isaac Walker was the first and only child born to Ann and Thomas Walker. Born at Perth on March 5th.1845 [RG0523/1845] He was born into a huge family emanating from his parents' earlier marriages. Isaac's mother had eight and his father five children from their earlier marriages. The family lived in Murray Street, Perth and Isaac grew up in a very happy family atmosphere and was obviously given access to a very good education and became a very successful businessman in his time. The following information comes from the WA Biographical Index Walker, Isaac, Accountant, Geraldton. Bought Town lot 1867 Secretary, Working Men's Association, 1870 Board of Education 1874 Proprietor of the "Victoria Express" in the 1880's with Stephen Montague Stout and later with Hart. Designed the Dongara Wesley Church built in 1884 by W. H. Linthorne Wife and child to London on 11th.Nov.1885 per "Shannon" Arrived 4th.May 1886 per "Kaiser I Hind" from overseas. Geraldton Councillor 1883 - 1885 and 1886 - 1888 Geraldton Town Clerk 1888 Isaac Walker launched the Geraldton newspaper, the "Victoria Express" with S. M. Stout. The partnership was terminated before one year had passed because of a dispute over money collected from subscribers, which was taken to the Courts for resolution. Stout left the company and Walker carried on. An excerpt from "The Brand on his Coat" by Rica Ericksan, gives more detail on this partnership. "page 284 - An accountant and merchant named Isaac Walker, who was also a member of the Board of Education, wished to launch a newspaper called the "Victoria Express". Stout agreed to be the editor for at least a year. The venture was advertised in the Almanac as S. M. Stout and Company. For a fee of ten percent Stout agreed to collect annual dues of five shillings from each of the Geraldton subscribers. Walker countersigned the receipts when he received the money. Stout was allowed petty cash. For reasons no unknown Walker dismissed Stout before the year's contract had expired. Stout threatened legal proceedings and Walker in counter attack got in the first blow by sueing Stout for embezzlement, claiming that he had not handed over ten shillings due from subscribers. One of these subscribers was the Lawyer engaged by Stout. Under cross examination, Walker agreed that he some times made mistakes in his book keeping. Since he had countersigned the receipts the Judge ruled that there was no case to answer." Isaac Walker was involved in design and construction of buildings in the surrounding districts. We perceive that his involvement was due to his position as an Accountant. Excerpt from "Ancient Landmarks" by Sister Mary Albertus Bain - "Isaac Walker submitted the Plans and Specifications for the construction of the Dongara Methodist Wesley Church to be built on a block donated by W. FI. Linthorne. The contract was awarded to W. H. Linthorne and cost Three Hundred and Fourteen Pounds, Four Shillings and Seven Pence. The Church was opened on 14th.December 1884." Excerpt from "Eastward Ho" by Bert Keefe - "page 40 - Mullewa was established by the erection of a warehouse to accommodate bales of wool in transit to the port. - Tenders will be received until March 11 th. at noon for the erection of a Woolshed at Mullewa. Plans and Specifications can be seen and every info. obtained on application to Mr I Walker, Geraldton, 4th.Feb.1885 [Govt. Gazette 31st Aug. 1887j" Isaac Walker and his father-in-law, William Garrard, owned property on the Geraldton waterfront on the land that was resumed to construct the existing wheat silos as indicated by the following - Excerpt from "A Life of it's Own" by Sister Mary Albertus Bain - 'page 193-4 - In August 1953 it was decided that storage silos for wheat would be erected - Unfortunately this necessitated the demolition of nine houses - the manager of Elder Smith's, Isaac Walker who was an Accountant and Cyril Cavanagh had large houses with garages and lovely gardens - As well there were lots that had been vested in the Municipallity - The total value of these houses and three vacant lots - one originally belonging to William Garrard, the settlements first boat¬builder, was 39,540 Pounds but the money did not interest the majority of the householders - despite the general outcry the plans went ahead and the silos and other facilities were erected." Isaac Walker also had interest in property in the City of Perth. Extract from Consolidated Index 1836-1900, 1882 Govt. Gazette - page 307 - details Isaac Walkers acquisition of land in central Perth in 1882 and Titles Transfer of Land 79182 "Take notice that Isaac Walker of the Town of Geraldton, Merchant, has made application to be registered as the proprietor of an estate in fee simple in possession of the following parcel of land situate in City of Perth. Perth building lot V6. Bounded on the South-west 75 links of Murray Street, on the North-East by 75 links Wellington Street, on the South-East by building lot V7 each measuring five chains and sixty links and containing one rood and twenty-seven perches August 29th. 1882." The area surrounding this lot was the subject in discussion some time later in the local newspapers. One of the parties involved in this discussion was Cyril Phillips Bryan under the pseudonym, Cygnus. Cyril Bryan was Isaac Walker's mother's [Ann Walker] Great- Grandson and in turn Isaac Walker is the granduncle to Cyril Bryan. The following comment was published - WALKERS COTTAGES - Dear Cygnet - A reference some time ago by Mr. Grundy to the vine trellis, which he says flourished on your great grandmother's property in Murray-Wellington Streets in the distant past has got me thinking. The Australia Hotel stands an what was the Western boundary of Solomon Cook's property at the rear of which there were lots of vines. To the East of Cook's was a vacant block, vacant that is except for a small two bedroomed brick cottage facing Murray Street, occupied for years by old Bob West. a crippled Veterinary Surgeon with whom George Towton spent so much time as a boy and thereby gained so much horse knowledge. No vines were on this block, but on the one east again was what was known as Walkers Cottages. There were trellis's on vines at the back of these. East of these lived the well known builder of old times, William Buggins, whose daughters married George Randell, Tom Bryan, Alf Etsegood and Jesse Golding. But there were no grapevines there. 1n Walkers Cottages I remember old Mrs.Simpson living and also Mrs.Trayon. It seems highly probable to me that the land that Isaac Walker was seeking to acquire was the block referred to as Walkers Cottages, on which his mother lived when married to Thomas Walker. William Buggin's wife Annie, was Isaac Walker's sister. He possibly inherited or acquired ownership of the tot from his father before he passed away and was seeking a change in the Title details. Isaac Walker passed away at Mt. Magnet, WA. on 14th.Sept.1900 [RG0139011900] The following notice was published in the local newspaper - "Mt. Magnet Miner" - September 22nd. 1900 "Death of Mr. Isaac Walker, Accountant, Friday 14th.September 1900 He was a native of the colony and received his education in company with men of mark in W.A. Remains were sent by Monday's train to Geraldton for interment."He lived at Geraldton in 1865. He was an accountant in 1867. He was the owner of the first newspaper in Geraldton, probably the "Victoria Express" 1880's with Stephen Montague Stout, then with Hart. He lived either 1867 or 1877 at Champion Bay WA. He lived at Mount Magnet WA. He was secretary of the Working Mens Association after 1870. He was on the Board of Education after 1874. He designed the Dongara Wesley Church, which was built in 1884 by W H Linthorne. He sailed to London on the "Shannon" on 11 November 1885. His wife and child to London 11 November 1885 per Shannon arrived from overseas on the "Kaiser I Hind" 4 May 1886. He applied for a transfer of land on August 29, 1882 known as building lot V6, an area between Murray and William Street Perth WA, which seems most likely to have been in the vicinity of the old Boans store. As Walker cottages were in that area last century it is presumed that they also belonged to him. Born on 6/5/1844. Was William Watson's son and took the name of Walker. Isaac Walker - "Newspaper Man" 1844, May 6 Born in Perth, WA. 1900, Sep 14 Died in Mt Magnet, WA. Arriving in Geraldton in its early days, sometime during the late 1850s, Isaac Walker found a position as clerk to George Shenton. His commercial aptitude was apparently evident from early on, developing further after Shenton sold out to Charles Crowther. In time, Isaac became the manager of the enterprise. One newspaper claimed that Crowther, and therefore indirectly Walker, 'largely controlled the shipping, mining, farming and squatting interests north of Perth'. After Crowther retired Walker bought up the business in partnership with Edward Shenton. They later sold out to Manning & Co, and Isaac remained as business manager. In 1865 he married local girl Emma Garratt in Geraldton. Although two of his sons remained in the district, most of the others eventually moved to Fremantle. He was also a great man for community involvement, helping to found the Oddfellows Lodge and the Mechanics' Institute, in Geraldton. He was secretary of the Working Men's Association from 1870, member of the local Board of Education in 1874, sat on the Geraldton Municipal Council over several years, and filled the position of Town Clerk. His ability with the art of calligraphy was well known throughout Geraldton. He also designed the Wesleyan Church at Dongara. Isaac Walker started Geraldton's first newspaper, the Victorian Express, in partnership with Stephen Scott, the first editor. The first issue was published on 3 September 1878, and with it, aspects of the area's history began to be recorded for posterity. Scott subsequently sold out to Hart, and Walker himself to a business syndicate. By the early 1890s Walker, after a failed attempt at other business in Geraldton, moved to Mt Magnet to commence business as an accountant. Once again he became involved in community life, only to die of a heart attack after chopping firewood. He had made provision for his remains to be brought back and interred locally, a Geraldtonian to the end. References and further reading: BATTYE J. (1912). The Cyclopedia of WA. Cyclopedia Co.

| 89 | James Bush was born in Woodford, Northamptonshire around 1826, eldest child of John Bush, an agricultural labourer, and his wife Lucy. On 4th August 1846 James Bush was sentenced to transportation to Van Diemen’s Land for stealing “wearing apparel” from a Mr Boswell of Leamington and “assaulting a Constable”. It was apparently not his first time falling foul of the law as his convict record is marked “2nd conviction”. James arrived on the ship “Cornwall” in June 1851 and was immediately granted a Ticket of Leave which was revoked 12th April 1853 due to “misconduct in abusing his mistress and using obscene language”. He was recommended for a Certificate of Freedom on 27th July 1852, and was eventually granted freedom on 4th August 1853. James was described on his convict record as being 5’5”, dark complexion, medium sized head and forehead with black hair and whiskers, hazel eyes, medium nose and mouth, a large chin, and having “9 dots between thumb and forefinger in right hand”. His record also stated he was married to wife Hannah with 2 children, Church of England and could “read and write a little”. On the 26th August 1861, shortly after the birth of Ellen’s younger brother Michael, James Bush died. A Coroner’s Inquest carried out the following day found that: “James Bush came by his death from congestion of the brain induced by exposure to cold and submersion in the water accelerated by drink and neglect”. | Bush, James (I272216498357)

| 90 | James Moore arrived on the emigrant ship Simon Taylor which sailed from London on April 30, 1842. She was under the command of Thomas Brown and arrived off Fremantle in the Swan River Colony 111 days later on August 20, 1842. There were 242 passengers in all - 5 travelled in the cabins and the rest in steerage. James was listed as living in Fremantle, records showing he was employed by L. Duffield during the 1840s and leased land on the Swan River from W. McDermott until 1849. After that, he was employed by George Shenton. He was listed as a Letter Carrier between 1857-1869 and was also a Clerk in St. George's Cathedral. He sailed to Geraldton on the Georgette in 1874 and established a garden at Greenough, but had moved back to Geraldton by 1879. | Moore, James (I272216493929)

| 92 | JEREMIAH PECK was born on Norfolk Island in 1805, son of Joshua Peck and Mary Frost. Both were convicts who came to Australia on the First & Second fleet respectively. There is no record of Jeremiahs birth or baptism but he is listed in the February 1805 Norfolk Island muster. Not a great deal is known of Jeremiah although he seems to have stayed out of the trouble which seemed to follow his father and brothers. In 1827 Jeremiah applied for and was granted 60 acres near Evandale. In his petition to the Governor he stated: That your petitioner has been brought up as a Husbandman and has acquired by his honest industry six bullocks and twenty head of female cattle He was recorded as residing in Springs where he was granted a pole cart licence on 28th February 1829. A further pole cart licence was granted to Jeremiah on 21st March 1829 when he was recorded as living in Emu Plains. The Oxford Dictionary defines a Pole Cart as A long tapering wooden shaft fitted to the fore carriage of a vehicle and attached to the yokes or collar of the draft animals. Jeremiah was granted a publican license at Patterson's Plains on 17th September 1831, where he appears to have had some land and in 1833 operated a hotel at Paterson's Plains. He and Mary also shared the land she had inherited. The daughter of Mary and Jeremiah, Mary Ann, was born on 3rd June 1833. Although it was four years after their marriage, she was their only child. Just a few months after Mary Ann was born, Jeremiah died on 27th November 1833, aged 28 years. His cause of death is unknown. | Peck, Jeremiah (I272216492799)

| 95 | JOHN PECK was the eldest of Joshua and Mary's children, being born on Norfolk Island in 1792. On May 27 1822 John married Susannah Courtney, a 28yo convict woman who arrived in Australia aboard the Friendship. At some stage Susannah absconded and played no further part in John's life. John Peck was tried at Hobart 3rd June 1824 for receiving sheep stolen by John Anderson from John Jones at Big Lagoon near Jericho and acquitted, but he was convicted of a similar charge a few months later and sentenced to 14 years at Macquarie Harbour where his brother William would have been at the same time. Macquarie Harbours penal settlement, Sarah Island (or Settlement Island) is found in the far south west corner of Macquarie Harbour, on the west coast of Tasmania, within sight of the world renowned Gordon River. This isolated island was a penal settlement between 1822 and 1833, established before the more well-known Port Arthur, as a place of 'secondary' punishment, an attempt to control the uncontrollable. Sarah Island gained a reputation as a place of unspeakable horrors and a living hell. Altogether about 1200 men and women were sentenced or sent to Sarah Island. Most of them had committed further offences while serving their original sentences. Others came as 'remittance men', skilled tradesmen who worked at the Settlement in exchange for remission of their sentence. They were supervised by military detachments of several regiments (up to 90 soldiers at one time), and by a variety of Civilian Officers, Supervisors and Constables, many of whom were ex-convicts. Ships' crews were regular visitors, tradesmen were co-opted and often bribed to work at the Settlement, there were women and children, some convicts working as servants, some wives of soldiers and officials, some wives and children of convicts. The Muster in 1828 was a total of 531, including about 380 convicts, 95 military, 14 women and 27 children. The early work of the Settlement was timber-cutting and hauling, work that could be done largely by chain gangs. But shipping out the valued Huon Pine proved more of a problem than expected: one solution was to build ships at the Settlement to transport the timber. Soon Sarah Island was more than just a prison. It was also an industrial village: gardeners, timber cutters, sawyers, boatmen, tanners, boot makers, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, carpenters, boat builders and shipwrights, fencers, bakers, cooks, medical orderlies, quarrymen and stonemasons, brick makers, lime-burners, coal miners, clerks, accountants, artists and draughtsmen. There are few obvious ruins on the Island today. Most of the buildings were of timber construction which has been removed or rotted. Some deliberate damage many years ago by those who wanted the island's history forgotten and the activity of souvenir collectors late last century have depleted the brick and stone structures. John Peck survived the extreme conditions of Sarah Island and died in 1872 at the age of 80. He is buried in the family vault at St. Leonards. | Peck, John (I272216492804)

| 100 | JOSHUA PECK (JUNIOR) was born on Norfolk Island on 12 November 1803. Joshua applied for permission to marry Elizabeth Thornton who had been born on Norfolk Island on 1801. There is no record of their marriage, nor is there any record of another marriage to Elizabeth Phillips although this is the name recorded in the births of their children, Susannah and Louisa. In 1846 Joshua built the Queens Head hotel in Wellington Street Launceston and opened it as a licensed house. It was kept as such for several years, and after changing hands several times ended up back with Joshua. Elizabeth Phillips died in 1871 and in 1872 Joshua married Eliza Bland. Joshua died in 1884, and Eliza in 1888. | Peck, Joshua (I272216492808)
