| 603 | No actual birth dates for children are known before 1837 whenregistration of B.D&M's. were made compulsory. With very fewexceptions all dates before 1837 are the christening date and notbirthdate. Christening dates are a good indication of approximate timeof birth but that is all. Other records that are available (like agesat marriage and death) indicate that most children were christened twoor three months after birth. Christenings were not just for religiousreasons, particularly in rural areas but because welfare wasadministered through the parish church. So christening records werethe only way children could qualify the family for additionalsupport. However christening dates can be misleading with families whodid not rely on welfare. The dates recorded for marriages are accurateas they were entered in the church register on the actual date of theevent. In death records only burial dates are available. But asburials were mostly carried out on the same day, or the day after,these dates are fairly reliable. James and Marey are theGRANDPARENTS of Benjamin, John and Jane who came out to Australia on"The Brothers" in 1837. They lived at Sixpenny, Handley Dorset. Theirfirst child recorded in the BVI is that of JOHN christened 6-4-1779who was the father of Benjamin, John, Jane and the four other childrenwho remained in England. The year and location of the marriage ofJames and Marey is not known, so the first child recorded, at S/pHandley, does not mean that no other children were born before that inanother location, (a THOMAS for instance). Because the marriagerecord of James & Marey has not been found, the maiden name of Mareyremains unknown. But all christenings of their children, born atHandley, are on record. Fortunately the general populace of Englanddid not move very often or far in the 1700 and 1800's. "Weeks" was arare name in northeast Dorset. In these early records in Englandthe name is often spelt "WICKS". This spelling all but disappeared bythe mid 1800's (in Dorset anyway). Genealogists generally agree thatvariants in such spellings was mostly a matter of dialect andtherefore, for the purpose of this research, the name will be spelt"WEEKS" irrespective of how it is recorded in the records. Forinstance, Benjamin's records are a typical example. He was christened"Benjamin WEEKS" but was married as "Benjamin WICKS". Because very fewcould read or write, the spelling depended on who wrote and recordedthe name and their version of the spelling and how it sounded to them.(Dialect). In Australia the spelling has remained "WEEKS" in allbut one family and that is the family of Benjamin's son Charles JeansWeeks whose name was mistakenly spelt Weekes by the Register of Birthsfor three of his 13 children including the first born George. WhenGeorge was married it was also spelt Weekes on his marriageregistration and from then on the Weekes spelling seemed to stick tothis family in all but a few instances. There are other changes to"Weekes" but they are not in the early times. | Sisley, Marey (I7871)

| 613 | Observations and Memories as remembered by her grandson Les. Myfirst real memories of my Grandma were in the late thirties when wemoved from Parramatta to The Oaks to live with my grandparents.Grandma or Jessie the Elephant as we kids nicknamed her, was a tallwell built woman who at first contact seemed to dominate you, but onlater reflection I know she had a heart of gold. If you happened tobe misguided enough to call her by her nickname, was to do so at yourperil. One, like an elephant she never forgot two , she also kept anapple tree switch which which was worse than getting the cane and Iknow she was an expert at using it as I have had both. Grandma hadthis belief that idle hands made mischief, so there was always anallocation of jobs, clean the chooks yard, wash out the pig sty andif you had been up to mischief it was , empty the dunny can.Grandma was a very simple person who was proud of her simple home,her ability as a cook was unsurpassed, she had a wonderful pantry ofher preserved fruits, jams, sauces and pickles, all from her owngarden and fruit trees. Grandma also cured her own hams and flitchesof bacon which never went in an ice chest and kept for months in ameat safe. Her large well cared for garden was always a topic ofinterest to both locals and visitors in her small country village TheOaks. Grandma had had ability to handle all situations as theyarose, I remember playing {where I should not have been} and split myhead open. Mum panicked but not Grandma, she sent one of the otherkids to get Amy Laurence who was a bush nurse, the nearest Doctorbeing nine miles away { no cars then}. Amy and Grandma with anordinary needle thread and cotton put five stitches in my head usingonly Frozel Ice. Today there is not even a scar to remember them by. As I grew into a teenager I grew closer to Gran, who at thisstage was living on her own having lost Grandfather {Fardy} some yearsearlier. We were living back at Parramatta and I would often ride upto The Oaks some thirty miles to see her. Grandma had very fewsecrets, one I discovered, that she liked a small glass of sherry ateleven o'clock each morning, so I always made sure she had a supply. She was a wonderful cook especially with her fuel stove and herginger sponge were my favourite. Always cooked on Sunday after theSunday roast dinner, her secret ingredient was a tablespoon ofdripping she used as shortening. Gran always had a nap after lunchin later years and when she woke she showered, put on a clean dressand pinafore before making afternoon tea. Mum died in 1953 andGrandma came to live with Dad and my two younger brothers Ken andBarry to look after them. Dad died in 1958 and Gran carried on untilin 1959 after a short illness she passed away. I not only lost myGrandma but a good friend. | Grundy, Lucy Elizabeth (I6958)

| 616 | Oct 22 F Sheather fined 1 shilling for horse staying on street. KIMO SCHOOL, NATIVE DOG CREEK & EDWARD SHEATHER (NANGUS HOTEL) In1887 Edward Sheather Snr wrote an application requesting a school bebuilt at Native Dog Creek. He applied himself to this task and theschool was finally built by October 1888. Many of his grandchildren(I'm told there were 50) attended theschool, and other pupils latermarried into this family (Metcalf, Elphick, Makeham, Williams, Fields,Worldon and Bell). The school children in this remote country areaof Nangus had many challenges. The boys were needed to help on theland and, owing to the rough terrain and flooding of local creeks, itwas impossible for the children to attend school on a regular basis. On 4th November 1887, Edward Sheather, owner of the Nangus Hotel,sent an application to the Under Secretary, Department of PublicInstruction, Sydney. He requested that a school be built at NativeDog Creek. He wrote the letter on behalf of the residents at NativeDog Creek, Nangus near Gundagai. The annex to the applicationlists Edward Shether Jnr and his wife Jane and children William Henryand George Alfred (twins) 14, Edward John 12, Clara Ann 10, Amy May 6,Albert Ernest 4. They lived two miles from the proposed schoolwhereas theclosest school was 6 miles away, quite a distance for thechildren to travel in those days. A site was to be obtained onGovernment Road on the Kimo side of Native Dog Creek. George & AnnSheather, children Minnie Jane 12, Amelia Mary 10, Eliza Ellen 8,Edith May 6, and Amy Isabel 4, were also listed on the annex to theapplication form. George Lyell, teacher of the Public School atNangus, details his objections to the new school and his concern thathis own school would be closed for lack of students. His report givesus insights into Edward and Jane's family life. Their twinsonsWilliam and Henry attended school on an average of one week perquarter over a period of two years, he writes, "..the parents considerthe boys work on the farm of far more importance than theireducation.." which was not unusual for those times whenthe family madetheir living from the land. Edward, Clara, Amy, and Eliza Sheatherwere permanent residents and likely to be pupils. "..If a school wereestablished at the proposed locality, Nangus Public School mustcollapse. As for the dangerouscreeks that prevent children fromattending the existing school, there is one water channel or gullywhich is a torrent in heavy rains never continuing to flow for morethan an hour or so after the rain ceases. Parents in the countrydistricts rarelysend their children to school on a wet day. I cannotsee the wisdom of establishing the proposed school at Native DogCreek. I therefore recommend that the inhabitants be refused theirrequest..". In February 1888, Edward wrote mentioning hisannoyance at the delay by the Department in making a decision."Your communication of the 17/11/87 was duly received stating theestablishment of a provisional school at Native Dog Creek Nangus wasunder consideration. "We have heard nothing further in the matterand feel considerably annoyed at such delay. "Our children aregrowing wild untutored and ignorant simply for the want of a schoolwhere they can receive that training they are duly entitled to."The old saying 'while the grass is growing the steed is starving' isapplicable in our case. Will you have the goodness at once attendto this matter as it is quite time our ..... application for a schoolwas attended to. "I have the honour to be your obedient servant "Edward Sheather Snr." The inspector was swayed by the teacher'sreport and without visiting the location, agreed with George Lyellthat there was no case for establishing a school. He requested theapplication be denied. A reply to this letter pointed out to theinspectorthat he had disregarded paragraph 6 on the form he submitted. So the case couldn't be settled in the way he recommended. Theinspector had to be "on the spot to make a decision". This meant thathe had to go to the area and check out the terrainhimself which hedid, and on the 7th May 1888 he wrote "..on personal examination ofthe country I find that it is nearly impossible for the childrenresiding at Native Dog Creek to attend Nangus School. The lateteacher misled me somewhat...". What a victory for the localpeople when the next day they received word that the application hadbeen successful, and the Committee members would be Edward Sheather, JHudson and George Fuller. The Chief Inspector recommended £45 begranted for the erection and furnishing of a school house. Arequest for a local resident to point out the exact site for theschool to the surveyor was made. He received a reply ".. Mr Sheatherwill be glad to point out the site to the Surveyor, he will also pointout the exact spot on the reserve wich isrequired fo rthe School. Iam unable to give a sketch, I submit that it is not required...".Five months later, Edward informed the authority that the Schoolbuilding at Kimo was completed. The building was weatherboard,floored, and roofed with iron, it had a brick chimney, light andventilation. The prescribed amount of furniture had beensupplied.There were two good W.C.s and the residents had given the building twocoats of paint. Mrs E Sheather Jnr applied for examption frompayment for school fees of 2/3. Her reason being that they could notafford to pay because everything they had had been destoryed by fire.What hardship the family must have suffered at this time. Therequestwas approved. (It is interesting to note that fees were payable atpublic schools back then.) Researched 1991 by Elizabeth Johnson,granddaughter of Clara Ann Sheather.

| 617 | Of the four children of William and Mary, only one, John, survivedchildhood. In the 1841 census two children are listed. Ellen twoyears and John one month. In the 1851 census William and Mary werestill in Handley. Living with them was Molly Kettle aged 78 years bornBerwick St.John. Mary's mother no doubt. Next door, were George Weeksand wife Sarah, (nee Thick). This George was the son of Thomas Weeksand Mary, (nee Dibben). William and George were probably cousins oruncle and nephew but the actual link has not been established as yet.Also at the same address was George, aged 24, son of George and Sarah(Thick) and a John aged only 9 years who was the son of William andMary,nee Kettle. Jeannie Hodkinson (nee Weeks, born Dorset) who is adescendant of John Snr.'s brother,George, (the George who marriedElizabeth Bennett), found William in the 1871 census, widowed by then,aged 63 years, living with his married son John, born 1842, anddaughter in law, Charlotte, born 1846. (Charlotte was born atCranborne). Also listed there were grandchildren William,three years,Dorcas, one year and Mary nine months. (Note: Dorcas obviously nearerto two years.) | Kettle, Mary (I7882)

| 619 | Originally recorded as 1814, this is unlikely to be correct for tworeasons. First, Mary gave birth to her first child in 1823 making her 33 yearsold. It is highly unlikely that there would be 10 years delay. Shewent on to have another 5 children over a span of 9 to 10 years. Second, Mary lived until 1893. That would make her 103 at the time ofdeath also a highly unlikely fact. For both of these reasons, I have decided that it is more liikely thather date of marriage is more likely to be around 1820-21, and herbirth around 1800. | Quinn, Mary (I1878)
