INTRODUCTION

The Bicenrennial Dictionary of Western Australians is published as a contri­bution to the Bicentennial Celebrations of 1988. It is a gift to Australia, from people throughout the Commonwealth and overseas who provided their family hhtories to be placed on record in these volumes.

The Bicenrennial Dictionary is based on material published previously in the four volumes of the Dictionary of Western Australians, the first three of which were produced for the State's Sesquicenrennial year in 1979. These were printed with the assistance of government funding and the support of the University of Western Australia Press. The public was invited to send biographies of people who were resident in Western Australia from the earliest years. The 'cut-off' date for entries was 1914. .

The first three volumes published in 1979 were produced from entries relating to the period up to 1868. Biographies for the later periods were med with the hope that funds would be available for their publication. The bene­factors who assisted in the later project were the Directors of Challenge Bank, formerly Perth Building Society, who agreed to word-process the entries relating to the period 1869-1888. These appeared in two parts in 1984 and 1985. The fifth volume followed in 1987.

The five volumes of the earlier Dictionary were given sub-titles which were self-explanatory: Volume I, Early Settlers 1829-1850 (compiled by

. Pamela Statham); Volume 2, Bond 1850-1868; Volume 3, Free 1850-1868; Volume 4, The Challenging Years 1869-1888. They designate the early pioneers, the convicts, the free settlers and migrants of the times . Volume 5, The Golden Years includes those who came in the goldrush years.

These volumes were working copies designed to encourage public partici­pation in the collection and correction of family records. The remarkable response from thousands of people and the availability of more church records and other sources, almost doubled the information printed in the Dictionary. This justified the publication of a new Dictionary rather than supplements to the earlier series.

A brief review of the earlier volumes is appropriate at this stage . Early Settlers covers a distinct period in the State's history, although the 'cut-off' date of 1850 left the records of many pioneering families incomplete.

INTRODUCTION

The Bicenrennial Dictionary of Western Australians is published as a contri­bution to the Bicentennial Celebrations of 1988. It is a gift to Australia, from people throughout the Commonwealth and overseas who provided their family hhtories to be placed on record in these volumes.

The Bicenrennial Dictionary is based on material published previously in the four volumes of the Dictionary of Western Australians, the first three of which were produced for the State's Sesquicenrennial year in 1979. These were printed with the assistance of government funding and the support of the University of Western Australia Press. The public was invited to send biographies of people who were resident in Western Australia from the earliest years. The 'cut-off' date for entries was 1914. .

The first three volumes published in 1979 were produced from entries relating to the period up to 1868. Biographies for the later periods were med with the hope that funds would be available for their publication. The bene­factors who assisted in the later project were the Directors of Challenge Bank, formerly Perth Building Society, who agreed to word-process the entries relating to the period 1869-1888. These appeared in two parts in 1984 and 1985. The fifth volume followed in 1987.

The five volumes of the earlier Dictionary were given sub-titles which were self-explanatory: Volume I, Early Settlers 1829-1850 (compiled by

. Pamela Statham); Volume 2, Bond 1850-1868; Volume 3, Free 1850-1868; Volume 4, The Challenging Years 1869-1888. They designate the early pioneers, the convicts, the free settlers and migrants of the times . Volume 5, The Golden Years includes those who came in the goldrush years.

These volumes were working copies designed to encourage public partici­pation in the collection and correction of family records. The remarkable response from thousands of people and the availability of more church records and other sources, almost doubled the information printed in the Dictionary. This justified the publication of a new Dictionary rather than supplements to the earlier series.

A brief review of the earlier volumes is appropriate at this stage . Early Settlers covers a distinct period in the State's history, although the 'cut-off' date of 1850 left the records of many pioneering families incomplete. By then there were about 5,000 people in the colony. The numerous quotations

v

from the newspapers, of events in those days, offer unusual glimpses of early colonial life. However, much of this material is not repeated in the Bicentenniai Dictionary, and Early Selliers will therefore remain a worthy source of reference.

All the names (unless corrected, or deleted as being invalid) are included in the Bicentennial Dictionary. New material. relating to the early years, covers seamen and scientists who visited Western Australia prior to J 829, as well as names of those who occupied the military out-post at A1bany in 1826, and also all those soldiers wbo were known to be stationed in the colony in 1829--1863.

The years 1850-1868 are less well defined although the transportation of convicts occurred witbin this period. More than 9,600 prisoners came to the colony, and at the same time about 9,000 or more free migrants arrived. The population in the colony increased five-fold despite a constant depar­ture of people, bond and free, for Eastern Australian colonies. Volume 2, Bond, which lis!s the convicts, is not repeated in the Bicentenniai Diction­ary. A fairly extensive number of references to deaths and departures of expirees has been located since the publication of Bond and it is desirable to print another supplement to that volume to record the fate of these men who may have left no other note of their presence in the colony. In the absence of plans for such a supplement, their names have been included in the Bicentenniai Dictionary, along with other expirees who hired ticket-of­leave men, or else made their way as free settlers. Students of the convict period in Western Australia are advised to consult both Bond and the Bicen­tenniai Dictionary for comprehensive study.

Volume 3, Free, is remarkable for the number of single women migrants who found marriage partners within a year or so of their arrival. It also

.included an extension of the records of the pioneering families of Volume I. In Volume 4, The Challenging Years 1869- /888, it became obvious that

the convict years did not end in 1868 with the cessation of transportation. Ticket-of-leave men (Le. prisoners on parole) were still being hired in the 1880s, and expirees were marrying and supporting families until the end of the century, making significant contributions to the social and economic life of the colony.

During the 1870s and 1880s the Government continued its policy of inducing free migrants to come to Western Australia. It was a period of expansion, with the belated construction of telegraph lines and a railway line arid the introduction of a coastal steamship service. Land laws were liberalised to encourage settlement by small farmers. The population almost doubled between 1869 and 1888, despite a continued drain of people to Eastern Australia.

'.

In 1886 the goldrush to the Kimberley district heralded a new era in the history of Western Australia. Further discoveries of gold in the I 890s drew many thousands of prospectors and job seekers from Eastern Australia, which at the time was suffering an economic depression. The reversal of the flow of population is reflected in the period 1889- 1914, The Golden Years (Volume 5).

The concept of the Bicentennial Dictionary of Western Australians to include the massive accumulation of data, as well as the additions and corrections, into one cobesive series-A-Z, pre-1829-1888- was inspiring. The proposal that Challenge Bank (formeriy Perth Building Society) could undertake the typing as their contribution to the Bicentennial celebrations in J 988 was graciously accepted by the Directors .

Concurrently with the compilation of the Bicentennial Dictionary of Western Australians, other researchers embarked upon the vast field of Aboriginal genealogy, with astonishing success, working from the earliest records and involving living people of Aboriginal descent. The Dictionary of Aborigines of Southwestern Australia is based on regions from Gerald­ton to the South Coast, to be published in three parts separately under each compiler's name. Plans are in hand also for a volume on the Aboriginal families of the Northwest and Kimberley regions.

Non-Europeans are included in a separate volume in the series, to include those of Asiatic origin who came to Western Australia in 1829-1900. The editorial committee and the host of volunteers who gave their services freely in preparing the material for publication believe that the Bicentennial Dic­tionary of Western Australians is a worthy contribution to the 1988 celebra­tions.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The publication of this monumental work has been achieved with the help of many people and organisations to wb,om grateful thanks are extended.

A major contributor was Challenge. Bank (formerly Perth Building Society) which assigned typists to produce the manuscripts over a period of four years. The special skills and untirjng interests of three members of their staff (Misses Barbara Banaszkiewicz and lulie McTaggart, and Mrs Elaine Turnbull) played no small part in bringing the work to a successful conclu­sion.

The financial assistance received prior to 1979 from the Sesquicentennial Committee in Western Australia, and which facilitated the earlier publica­tions, is also gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are due also to the University of Western Australia Press, which assumed responsibility for publication as its contribution to the 1988 celebrations.

The Bicentennial Committee has given financial aid to this project and has been generous in its encouragement.

Most valuable assistance has been given by the Principal Librarian of the Battye Library, Miss Margaret Medcalf, by providing working space and offering facilities in the Library when the editor's home could no longer accommodate the ever-growing mass of mes. The unstinting and cheerful co-operation of the staff of the Battye Library lightened the editor's work immensely.

It is impossible to name all those who assisted in assembling the entries for the Bicentennial Dictionary. At rhe same time it is appropriate to mention some who helped compile the earlier series. Acknowledgment must be made of tbe work of the late Mrs Hazel Statham, whose listings of people in Western Australia prior to 1850 were important sources for the first volume, Early Settlers, compiled by her daughter Pamela Statham.

The card index for the years 1850-1914 was aided by others, some of whom worked regularly for several years alongside the editor. The first volunteer was Miss Jess Darby who remained until the completion of the Bicentennial Dictionary. Others were Mesdames Joy Black, Helen Bracks, Joan Cowley, Ailsa George, Peg Griffiths, Helen Jemerson, Marjery Maloney, Miss Flora Chester and Mr and Mrs Doug Newton.

Miss Mary Tamblyn's skills as an historian and researcher were of special

ix

value. Others who aided in research were Sisters M. Albertus and M. Raphael, tbe late Tony Harrop, Messrs W. Laskey, Brian Croker, Bruce Baskerville and Noel Merchant.

The late Rose Watson sent meticulous notes on the settlers in Augusta­Vasse districts . Mrs Judy Hamersley and other members of Swan-Guildford Historical Society transcribed the Guildford records of baptisms and marri­ages of the Wesleyan Church, as well as card indexing the employers of con­victs. Also helpful with district records were Mr Jack Taylor and his com­mittee at Busselton; Mrs Ruth Mann and others at Beverley; Mrs Joan Downes, thelate Kit Ellergy, Mr Shaw and his daughter Pat , of Geraldton and lrwin-Greenough districts; Mrs Unice Duncanson who researched Can­ning and Swan families; Mrs Jean Broad and others at Moora; Mrs Eunice Faulkner of Gnowangerup; Mrs Robin Roe, Mr Boyd Marlin and the late Mrs Elizabetb Lefroy who contributed notes on Chittering-Bindoon districts; Mr and Mrs Milhinch of Northam; Mr Wally Chitty of Toodyay; Mr Neil Foley; Mrs Betty McGeever, Mrs Lorraine Stevens and Mr J. R. Cook who made contributions on Fremantle families; M(s Janice Young compiled extensive records on families in the Avon Valley from Toodyay to Beverley; while Miss Mollie Bentley and Mr Andrew Gill generously shared their knowledge of the Police Force. Invaluable assistance was given by Mr Bruce Graham whose skill as a proof-reader eliminated many editorial faults. Others who have helped, but whose names do not appear in this lengthy list, are assured that their efforts are remembered and valued .

Finally I wisb to pay a tribute to the editorial committee for their unfail­ing support and encouragement over the years, to achieve what they may have deemed to be an impossible dream at their first meeting in 1974.

NOTES

1. In the main text the names of hotels, properties and publications are noted by inverted commas, and the names of ships are underlined. In the introductory passages publications are italicized.

2. Most entries in the Bicenlennial Dictionary of Western Australians are condensed from the fuller notes in the files of the Western Australian Biographical Index deposited in the Battye Library. These are available for public inspection . Correspondence may be directed to : The Principal Librarian, Battye Library, Alexandra Library Building, Pertb Cultural Centre, Perth, W.A.

3. Entries in the Bicentennial Dictionary may be incomplete, or faulty, and omissions may be noted. Such shortcomings are not due to lack of editorial energy, but rather to lack of time for further research and to the failure of descendants to inform.

4. Differing spellings of names and initials are sometimes seen in original documents . Baptismal names frequently differ from registered names. Illiterate people could not check for correct spelling of their names, and phonetic spelling at times added to the confusion (e.g. Canady for Kennedy).

5. Dates of birth, death and marriage are often approximate. Calculation of ages from various sources reveal discrepancies, sometimes up to ten years in the deaths of old people, especially in the 1890s. Baptismal dates have been confused with birth dates, while on some occasions people thought that a church ceremony was sufficient for registration . On the other hand, some Irish women confused their descendants by marrying at a civil ceremony and again much later in a church. For practical pur­poses in this work, defacto relations are regarded as regular marriages .

6. Block letters are used for the surnames of a person and spouse, but only the Christian names of their parents are quoted.

7. A married woman or widow is usually cross-indexed under her known maiden name, unless she married before arrival. Only enough detail is given in such entries to identify the woman. The major part of her bio­graphy appears in her husband's notes, unless she has achieved an independent career, which rarely occurred before 1888. Spouses who

SHIPS

Ships (in chronological order) bringing 10 or more passengers to Western Australia in 1826-1888, the exception being convict ships whicb brought fewer than 10. Returning colonists are 'Oot included in the passenger numbers quoted.

O. Names of passengers not known . 9 . Some of the passengers' narnes are not known. T. Troopship, narnes of passengers not known.

Pensioner Guards & free passengers on convict ships and those on Troop­ships were not listed by name. The editor is indebted to F. H . Broomhall for permission to use the information in his work The Velerans for ideI1tifying most of these people.

Comparison of official shipping records with newspaper lists reveal dis­crepancies in spelling and in the number of passengers. Officially two chil­dren counted as one 'statutory' adult passenger. The editor has chosen to give children 'individual status. The ships' Captains used the term 'souls' when listing children as individuals instead of 'halves'.

Ships from all parts of the world have been listed for the early period up to 1850, thereafter the ships are all from the United Kingdom. People arriv­ing from Eastern Australia and otber parts of the wo!ld are identified in tbe text with the name of the vessel in which they arrived, provided this infor­mation is available in Fremantle and A1bany records, or from newspaper reports. However, some disembarked arother ports such as Bunbury and Geraldton . Some were deserting sailors whose origin or identity was kept secret. Others came under an assumed narne, such as the migrant girl who took her cousin's place on the ship, but resumed her own name after arrival.
