PREFACE

Our Oatley is so named because of one man. The present suburb of Oatley is , what it is, because of the thousands of families, and the tens of thousands of individuals , not necessarily Europeans, who have made a contribution, or perhaps have just lived in this area. All have, in some way or another, perhaps just by being a friend, have left their mark.

Our story tonight is that of the common man and woman .who, in countless thousands have trudged through life, and have then departed. In many cases they have leji very little trace of their existence. In our presentation, we hope to pay tribute to them, but at the same time we may perhaps look to the future of Our Oatley.

An opportunity to start our story may perhaps be somewhere between 190 million and 210 million years ago. The Hawkesbury sandstone and the Wiamatta shales which are found in abundance in the area was laid down at a time when the earths crust was being uplifted and moulded. The ancient river systems which were formed during this period have left the many hills and gullies which have now been buried under and accumulation of silts and sand:

The early inhabitants, may have come from=who knows where? There is evidence of the Aboriginal hords and in particular the GW1YAGAL or GWEAGAL people who occupied the area from Cooks River to the Georges River and as far west as Liverpool. The present Oatley Point was a prominent feasting area.

George Bass and Matthew Flinders explored the Georges River for about 20 miles in 1795, and made appropriate reports. Timber cutters would no doubt have had some input into this area,and others of adventurous nature would have soon followed.

This then is the scene before James Oatley.

JAMES OATLEY

The topic of "Our Oatley" cannot be complete until we have made a study of the man, James Outley, and we cannot really begin to understand the man until we have given some thought to the times and the circumstances which surround him and his [am ily.

To begin with, we know very little about the life in the 18th and 19th century unless we have made a study of history. I\s a casual observer we know very little of the living conditions prevailing at L!1C' time: what were [llnily rck.nunsl.ips lik<:;\\I1:lt was the average educational standard; and '.\ hat medical services etc. J\ aiLlbk u the average family. All these things which we trike for granted todav were very real problems lor many 1011\.

The story of James Oatley is onc which teaches LIS tLot we can 0\ cr come life's problems, and in company with many other persons who came to this land, not of their own accord, but \ .. ho still made good with the opportunities which pr :scnt.:d themselves. This was then, and is still the same today, a land of opportunity, and is this story of "()UN OA I U:"Y"

James Oatley was bum about 1770 in the North Midlands county of Staffordshire, and probably at Lichfield, As a child he would hm c been associated \\ ith such places as Nccdwood Forest, and would have known the home area or the L.ul 01" Lichficld at Shugborough Park. Indeed the Oatley family had been associated \\ ith the Earl of Lichfield since 1663

In order to pursue his career as a watchmaker, no doubt the young man, James Oatley would have gonc to the industrial City of Birmingham which is in the South 'Vcst Midlands and only a short distance, in . the county of 'Varwickshirc. It was here that he met, and later married Miss Sarah Gennett on the '27th October 1802. He was then 3'2 years of age, and his occupation was described as Watchmaker.. We are not aware of their friends at this time, but it is quite possible that a Mary Stokes was among their .. associates.

These were not good times in England for the common man. The country was at war with France, The American War of Independence had just concluded, - convicts \ ... 'ere no longer transported to the Americas and the gaols were filled.

In 1806 James Oatley was sentenced to SEVEN years transportation for stealing ONH TON of cheese Those awaiting transportation were held in hulks, and Oatley was held at Portsmouth, and in company with others did dockwork for the Army and the Navy. It was later decided that it would not be worthwhile to send him for transportation owing to the short period remaining. In 1812 he was pardoned.

PAGE 2. JAMES OATLEY

Once .lgain .larncs Oatley found himself in trouble. On the 17th June 1813 ha had, stolen a feather bed and some shirts. and on the 21 st August 1813 he had stolen Two complete beds with a quantity of linen and related objects. For these two crimes he was committed to Death. He remained in Winchester Gaol lor almost six months when he was transported to New South Wales forever. lIe sailed on the ship "Marquis of Wellington' on the I st September, 1814~ (t~n 44yeat"s oLi,marrie.a lzyears')

One wonders the reasons why an apparently successful watchmaker would resort to crime. They were not particularly petty crimes and James Oatley had pleaded "NoL Guilty". and perhaps there were circumstances , such as non payment to Oatley lor some service he had rendered as a watchmaker. We shall never know .. We do know thal on the 17lh January, 1015 he arrived ill SYUIH':y, after a journey uf 1-19 Jays.

W.,: now know that it V.;iS Mary Stokes .... ho travelled 10 Sydney as the · .v ili.: of James Oatley. Tberc is no mlormauon as to what happened to the Sarah Oatley (Bennett) married at Birmingham.

Ior the ncxr ~() vcars the Marv Stokes was generally known as Mrs ()"Ik~·. I he ~·()llng daughter on the voyage vanishes trorn the record and her subsequent life cannot be traced.

PAGE 3 JAMES OATLEY.

James Oatley arrived in Sydney in 1815, and at the time the penal colon had been established for '27 year and the Governor was Lachlan Macquarie. A number of substantial buildings had been erected, and in the process of constructio~under the' architect francis Greenway. There was already a watchmaker to the colony by the name of I lcnry l.anc, who unfortunately died in 1815 just as James Oatley arrived. Oatley was appointed Keeper of the Town Cloek at a salary of 30 pounds per annum. The Town elocks were on the Church of St. Phillip and the Hyde Park Barracks.

Setting up business soon after his arrival he was very soon highly regarded, both as a citizen and as a watchmaker because On the 22 nd June 1816, only seventeen months after his arrival he was able to buy a block of land near the steam engine at Cockle Bay. He was given a ticket of leave, and in October 1821 , he was granted a conditional pardon.

On 28th September, 1822 he purchased a dwelling house and premises in George Street, opposite the Old Burial Ground, which is now the site ofSt.Andrcws Cathedral. This was his place of business until his death in IS}'>, and it remained in the Oatley family until IlJ22, that is I t)O years. Watches made ".\ 0:\111:)' remnincd among Iarnily possessions for m~iIly years, nut arc now not known to exist. However, Ir)Il!? case clocks made by James Oatley are still around, and at least 12 arc currently rrizl"~I­ antiques ..

Earlie:' mentioned were SOIl1~ town properties acquired by James Outley a lid it is i ntcrcsu Ilg h) k now of them. In J unc ~2 I X 16 he bought a piece of land ncar t he Steam engine at Cockle Bay, now Darling I larbour. It was his first recorded address and it was situated what is now ncar Dixon Street, olTCoulhurn Street al the present h...:aJ cf Darling Harbour. Six years later in 1822 he bought the dwelling and premises in George Street as mentioned, which became his place of business. Also in the same year, :Nth October, I X22 he acquired land on the corner of" Pill and Goulburn SIS, \\ hich over :1 period he expanded b) further acquisitions. Later .uficr the death of his son Frederick in I [)8-l, portion of" the land was sui 10 Samuel i lordcrn, lor 6000 pounds. /\ property W:IS also nought in what is now Elizabeth St in a block between Goulburn and Campbell Sts ..

"of really bad luck lor a poor convict, sentenced to death, and later transported for Ide to a penal colony.

Now, we might luok at Land Grants which were given to James Oatley in the Parish ofSt. George

The Grant of Land which we now call the suburb of Oat Icy was signed and sealed as a grant by the Governor, Major General Ri-hard Bourke , on the 31 st August, 1833. Apparently things do not change very much because it took James Oatley a number of official requests to the authorities to get any action on the promise made to James Oatley by Governor Brisbane, \.\ hen Oatley was superseded as Overseer of the Town Clocks, that the Governor would rev v urd him by a grant of lund. This was in 1822.

James Oatley chose as a suitable grant, a piece of land in the District of Botany Bay, near Cooks River, between Dr. Townson line and the sea and known as Morgans Corncr.. Today we can relate to this area as being bounded by Gungah Bay Road on the West until it meets Boundary Road. Then Boundary Road on a line to where is. would mcct Ilurstvillc Road. And then Hurstville road as far as Renown Park, then following the line of the water around Oatley Bay, Georges River and Gungah Bay

PAGE 4. JAMES OATLEY.

Prior to this land grant, .lamcs Oatley had acquired 80 acres of land from a Mr. Leadbetter at what is now the corner of King Georges Road and Moorefields Rd in Beverly Hills. Possibly being in the area he took a liking to the land which was available on the Georues River.

His next land grA11t . was 40 acres, previously owned by a William Newton on the 8 October 1827. This land is now situated at the south western comer of King Georges Road and Hurstville roadFir-s1 heiYas gre1f\ted 175 acres, again from John Leadbetter. This piece of land now borders Kingsgrove Road and the Eastern side of Wolli Creek, and is 1l0W the sight 01" Kingsgrovc Railway station and the shopping centre

On the 2 October 1828 James Oatley bought 90 Acres from the grant to William Miller which gave him an additional frontage to the now Kingsgrove Road. A further acquisition was '-10 acres from Christopher Coleman which James Oatley called "Snugborough" . Possible named after his home area of the Earl of Litchfield. A. further block of land which adjoined in Moorefields Road was purchased in October 1836 and consisted of 60 acres. Hence James Outlet owned almost the entire length of the Moorcficlds, except lor ~I lew blocks iii the middle. His total land holdings ill (he St. George area was 7S5 Acres

He later made i1pp:i{:ation fur the land \\ hich · ... as h,:!\\·c-.:n the O~t[L.:y Grunt and that at South l lurstvillc adjoining l lurstvillc Road, and also applied for 450 Acres commencing at the head of Kogurah L3~) through to Bot.my Gay, \\ hich wouk! have been the whole 01" the S~IIlS Souci Pcninsulur. Probably his death in 1 839 prevented Iunhcr action on these applications.

The business life of .larucs Oatley i~ interesting from the point of view that he urri. cd in 1815 as a poor convict watchmaker. A-;, Keeper of rhc TO\\"n Clocks he was awarded :1 yearly salary of 30 pounds, This abo gave him some credence in the community, and although he did not officially purchase the George SI. property uniil 1822 he was probably ill business from 1817 or before. lie had acquired a degree or respectability and was often called upon to give evidence and report on matters rl'l:llin~~ 10 his trade .. lie received assigned convicts to work in his employ, he gave generously to a number of charities, and "ncr his initial purchase of l.and in the St.Ge.irgc Area he had horses and cattle and had 5 men in his employ. I lc \HIS also referred to as "Mr. Oottcy' Apart from the 1\\0 Townson Bros, he was the largos landholder in the southern part of St. George.

His privarc life continued quietly. Snugborough Park was the name he gave to his estates in present day Beverly Hills. It was here that he built his home .. It is of interest to us in Oatley that one ofthe owners ofthe Oatley home wa s Mr.Judd and the surrounding land was know n as "Judd's .\ lcudow '.lIe apparently continued his association with Mary (Stokes) Oatley although records are not clear as to the leagal relationship. One wonders whether he was still legally married to Sarah Bennett, the wife in Birmingham, because some records show Mary Oatley as his wife and others are less clear. No doubt the fact that James Oatley had acquired a degree of respectability the authorities did no enquire to deeply. Ilis family, as shown Oil the official recordings or the inhabitants of the colony show changes. However. we find that James Oatley sold the premises in Elizabeth St, to a Mal)' Ann Bogg and he married her on the 16th September, 1833

JAMES OATLEY.

Mary Oatley (Stokes) had eontinued to live as the wife of Oatley &- Childrer_)not always clearly being identified as "Mrs Outley". /11 1832 she married Charles Howell giving as her name MARY JOHNSTONE, the name of a good friend. In 1839 she is known as Mary Howell .. The last family reference to Mary Stokes- Oatley- Johnstone­ Howell is on her son Robert's death certificate in 1876, when James Jnr supplied the information that their mothers name was "Mary':

Prior to his death in 1839 James Oatley made reference to his Step­ Son's Frederick and James. The reason is not clear, they were christened as the sons 0 r James Oatley and continued to bear his name. There does not seem any doubt that he was the natural father of James and Frederick and possibly Robert.

The children of J.uncs Oatley were prominent citizens or this country. James was well educated ., and by trade \\as a couchmukcr. I II.: was a prominent

sportsman, was a hotel owner, ar.d took an interest in 111.:11)' local .d·I~,irs . I lc retired trom the hotel business at the age 01' 37 and JI.:\ otcd himself to mun.c ipal ~d{lirs. I I, bl.:L":Itnl.· il.c Mayor of Sydney and a member of Purl iamcnt.

Frederick Oatley took over the business of his father ill GCNg~;A .IIlJ later was known as a prominent sportsman. I lc \Y::IS also the Iirsr Mayor of lh~ Municipality of Woollahra. We can think of.f~em,\\ hen we drive along Outley i~ 0:1\.1 in Puddington . .

Robert Oatley, the son \\ ho was born :-It sea, took 011 the occupation of Cooper. For some reason he was not to receive as much as the other brothers from the estate. However he Ii H!U a com Iortuble I j It: and died at the age of 61 years.

It is not the intention to relate the life histories of the Oarlcy Family except to state that whatever the problems were \\ ith the parents, they were certainly overcome by dint of perseverance and we in the suburb can learn much by their experience.

The estate which was once (mown as Morgans Corne.' and latl!rAs Oailcys.was sold to a developer named Charles Cecil Griffiths, on the ~3rd tvbrch~ IS81 It had remained in the hands of frederick Oatley since the death of his father James in

183<). It was described as "Nccdwood Fares! ". The only changes in that time had been the removal of some forest timber.

"Ou r Oatley" . was sold to a developer by the name of Charles Cecil Grifiths for the sum ofTEN THOUSAND POUNDS.
