Philip arrived in Australia as a convict. Australian records give no indication of his place of birth other than he was tried in the County of Essex. It is possible, although not certain, that he was a native of that county. Philip's ancestry in England is a current research project, with some leads suggesting the Chipping Ongar area, Co Essex, however to date a baptism has not been found. A Philip Thorogood, baptised 1787, Chipping Ongar has recently been otherwise accounted for, having moved to Co Kent and then London, where he died. The Thorogood surname in England is most prevalent in the west of Co Essex, especially the Chipping Ongar area where Philip has been used as a Thorogood forename since the mid 1600s up to the early 1800s.


1. Philip Thoroughgood,[4,254,255] born 1791[245]/1792[245]/1793[15,36,38]/1795,[4] Co Essex, England.[36,38,251] Died 31/1/1855, Burwood, NSW, Australia (60yo),[4,180,251] & buried 2/4/1855, St John the Baptist, Church of England, Ashfield, Sydney, NSW, Australia,[166,180,251] by Rev. T. H. Wilkinson.[180] {The baptisms of Philip's two later children, Philip Jr & Mary Ann as well as Philip Sr's death are all listed in the BMD indices as being at "Church of England Parish Ashfield, Balmain, Burwood, Concord". This, in reality, was St John's, Ashfield, see below} Stonemason, 1827 (given on certificate of freedom, 1842).[36] Ploughman & dairyman, 1828.[38] Labourer, 1828,1832,1846.[236,245] Sentenced to 14 years transportation, 5/12/1827,[14,17,33,36,38] at the 1827-1828 Essex Special Session & Gaol Delivery,[36,347] Co Essex, England.[14,17,33,38] A brief newspaper report refers to the crim & sentence: "Philip Thorrowgood, alias Toogood, for purchasing a copper stolen from James Miles, 'of South Weald', well knowing it to be stolen. Fourteen years transportation."(Chelmsford Gazette 14/12/1827).[346] Philip has purchased the stolen copper (a large cooking or washing vessel) from James King, who received seven years transportation for his offence.[346] {of South Weald was in quotes in the newspaper. Presumably it refers to James Miles, but it may refer to Philip} Philip's Certificate of Freedom & the convict list for the ship he was transported on both list his crime as simply "stealing copper".[36,38] The English Home Office record of the conviction indicates Philip was convicted for "receiving stolen goods" and James King, listed immediately following Philip, was convicted for "larceny".[347] Philip

Thorowood arrived in Port Jackson, 14/7/1828, on the "Phoenix".[14,16,17,18,33,35,36,38,39] The Phoenix, a convict ship under Master Thomas Curzons,[33,38,39] departed Spithead 7/3/1828 bringing 190 male prisoners; Surgeon Superintendent Dr Carlyle, RN, Captain Barker, Lieutenant Moore and 30 men of the 39th regiment the Guard, along with 4 women and 6 children as passengers.[39] On his arrival his description was height 5ft 5in, ruddy complexion, brown hair mixed with grey, grey eyes, a scar on the top of his forehead, another on the back of his right thumb and the middle finger of his right hand was stiff.[36,38] He had no (formal) education and was a protestant.[38] Upon arrival in NSW was assigned to Percy Simpson at Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia.[38] In the 1828 census for NSW, Australia, Philip Thorogood (also listed as Thoroughgood), then 36yo, was listed as a convict labourer in the service of Percy Simpson at his 'Kourumbung' homestead (now the town of Cooranbong, Lake Macquarie, NSW, census returns were dated between 8/11/1828 and the early months of 1829).[34,245] In 1826 Lieutenant Percy Simpson selected 2,000 acres at Cooranbong and he lived on the grant, operating a cattle and dairy farm, from 1826 until 1828 when he left an assigned servant, Moses Carroll, as overseer.[34] By October 1833 Mr Manning was operating a dairy on the site.[34] In the 1832 NSW Census Philip, then 41yo, was a convict labourer working in the government Iron-Gang No.10 in the parish of Melville (just south of Prospect, near modern day Horsley park), NSW.[245] In the 1837 Convict Muster Philip, listed as 40yo, was a convict labourer working for R. Johnston, Sydney, NSW.[245] On 11/7/1839, Philip Thorowgood, alias 'Toogood', received his ticket of leave and was allowed to remain in the district of Liverpool, NSW, Australia, on the recommendation of the Sydney bench, dated 19/6/1838.[33] His ticket of leave was altered 4/10/1841 to allow him to remain in Sydney "for so long as he remains in the service of Mr John Ireland."[33] Philip had a "convict bank warrant" (many convicts were required to put any money they brought with them to Australia into a savings bank account. When they were freed, they gained access to this account. The document, which directed the bank to pay convicts their money, was called a warrant).[35] Received his Certificate of Freedom, 27/5/1842.[16,36] Married 1st unknown. {Philip's wife and child, both un-named, were listed as passengers on the Phoenix, the ship that brought Phillip to Australia as a convict. However no trace of his wife or child have been found in Australia and it is likely that they instead remained behind in England. If they did accompany Philip, they presumably died soon after arrival and no record survives of their deaths} Married 2nd Hannah Howell, c.1840.[4,235,236,251,254,255] {Defacto relationship. Prior to her relationship with Philip, Hannah was married to Thomas Dean, 1820, & later Richard Kippax, 1832. See Howell chart for details} Hannah  was born 1795[4,66]/1795[234]/1800,[235] Sydney, NSW,[236] died 12/2/1871, Sydney Infirmary (now Sydney Hospital), Sydney, NSW, Australia (76yo),[4,66,235] & buried 14/2/1871, St Jude's Church of England, Avoca Street, Randwick Cemetery, Sydney, NSW, Australia.[66] Resided 1828-1829, Kourumbung, Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia.[38,245] Resided 1832, Melville parish, NSW.[245] Resided 1837, Sydney, NSW.[245] Resided 1839, Liverpool district, NSW.[33] Resided 1840, Homebush, Sydney, NSW.[254] Resided 1841, Parish of Concord, District of Parramatta, NSW.[19] Resided 1846, Ashfield, Sydney, NSW.[236] Resided 1851, Homebush, Sydney, NSW.[236] Resided 1855, Burwood, Sydney, NSW.[4,180] {Philip probably did not move around between 1840-1855, as suggested above. Homebush was in the Parish of Concord and Burwood & Ashfield neighbour Homebush and likely reflect the registration district rather than the actual abode}

Percy Simpson & his family had emigrated from England to Sydney on the Mangles, arriving in 1822. Whilst on service in the Napoleonic War, he met Sir Thomas Brisbane, a relative of his wife, who was Governor of NSW on his arrival in Sydney. Simpson came with an order for a grant of 2000 acres of land, and letters of recommendation from a number of influential people including Sir Thomas Maitland and the Adjutant-General Sir Henry Torrens. After establishing agarrison in the Wellington Valley, Simpson retired from public service when his sponsor, Governor Brisbane, was replaced and became a settler, taking up the land grant he received upon arrival. He ran cattle on two tracts of land adjacent to each other at Koorumbung in the region of Dora Creek. Along with the land grant Simpson was granted 6 convicts to work the land. His Eraring grant of  was described as, "2000 acres of land situated in the County of Northumberland, parish unnamed, at lake Macquarie; bounded on the south by a deep lagoon, and by Dory Creek; on the east by the lake from the mouth of Dory Creek to pantaloon Lagoon, or Mr. Cory's Grant, on the north by the section line, and on the west by a line, to include the quantity." second grant at Kourumbung was described:" bounded on the north by the western rivulet; on the east by a line bearing south 280 chains; on the south by a line bearing west 80 chains; on the west by a line bearing north 333 chains to the western rivulet, Dora Creek." Simpson spent most of his time away from his grant, leaving the property to be  run by an overseer, John Jones, and his convict servants. The property itself was used to grow wheat and corn, with a grinding mill built on the property. At one time Simpson was the magistrate in charge of convict discipline during the building of the Great North Road.[Eraring Publis School] John Ireland sailed to Sydney in 1823, married Sarah Ann Blades in 1826, and established and ran the "Speed the Plough" Inn on Parramatta Road, Ashfield. He bought land over the Blue Mountains, and was involved in coaching long before the days of Cobb & Co. All his children were born at Dobroyd/Ashfield where he died suddenly in 1847.[GenForum]

The parish of St John's, Ashfield, was established in 1840 (the first service held on site that year) and the building which was designated as St John's Ashfield was opened in 1845. St John's was the first church between Sydney and Parramatta, and planted numerous churches in the area in its early years, including at Balmain and Enfield. {Philip Jr & Mary were obviously baptised before the present day building was opened, but there was presumably a temporary structure on the site from 1840-1845. Philip Sr's burial was in the grounds of the 1845 building}. Located at 81 Alt Street, Ashfield and built of brick & stone in the "Old Colonial Gothick Picturesque" style. The nave dates from 1840-1845. The transepts and chancel were added in 1874-1875. The tower to the west door was added in 1901-1904. People would come large distances in order to get to the church. 'Church Street' was originally a track formed by people walking from Burwood. Over the years the foot track was consolidated into a roadway. St John's cemetery dates back to the time the church was first built.[St John's] Concord is situated on the Parramatta River, half way between Sydney and Parramatta. Free settlers who arrived on the "Bellona" in 1793 received grants in the area then named Liberty Plains, part of what is now Concord. In that same year grants were made to six non-commissioned officers in a ‘district to be distinguished in future by the name of Concord’. Soon after the establishment of the Government Farm at Rose Hill (Parramatta), around the year 1792, an area of land was selected as a half-way station between Sydney and Parramatta. This became known as the Longbottom Stockade. It was here that prisoners were detained for a night on their 24 kilometre trek from Sydney to Parramatta (or vice-versa). Convict road gangs were housed in the original buildings and a small detachment of mounted police was stationed there. In 1840 it took on a new role as the detention centre for a group of French Canadian political exiles and so acquired a unique place in Australia’s history. Between 1843 and February 1844 free pardons were awarded to all the remaining prisoners (2 had died during their exile) and eventually all but one returned to Canada.[Concord Heritage] Homebush is an inner western suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Homebush is located 15 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Strathfield. Homebush West and Homebush Bay are separate suburbs. Homebush is located south of Homebush Bay, an inlet of the Parramatta River. Homebush was established in the 1800s by the colony's then assistant surgeon D'arcy Wentworth. According to local government historian Michael Jones, "Wentworth is popularly credited with having called the area after his 'home in the bush', although Homebush is also a place in Kent." A more logical origin of the name is to be found in the history of droving cattle and sheep to Sydney's major saleyards, which were located at what is now Flemington markets, also known as Homebush West. Drovers would camp in what was then a pastured terrain at the end of their long journey through 'the bush' and may thus have adopted the name 'home bush'.[Wikipedia] Sydney Infirmary was opened in 1816, replacing an older hospital. It was known as the "Rum Hospital" because it was constructed by a contractor whose payment took the form of a license to import spirits. The Sydney Infirmary of colonial times was the predecessor of the modern Sydney Hospital, and the direct descendent of the first hospital at Sydney Cove (1788).[Australian Medical Pioneers Index] The church complex of St Jude's, Randwick represents an almost perfect example of a typical English village churchyard with the church, rectory, verger's residence, parish hall & the cemetery. The cemetery is one of the best maintained Victorian cemeteries in the Sydney region. The church was possibly built by Edmund Blacket (who also built St John's, Ashfield), between 1861-1865. It is a large Victorian Gothic church built of masonry and stone. The earliest tomb in the cemetery is dated 1843 and the majority were between 1865 and the 1890's. The cemetery is older than the present church building and it is believed that some of the graves could be much older.[Heritage NSW]

Mr G Wallace appeared for accused, who entered a plea of not guilty. The jury, after four hours' consideration of the case, returned a verdict of guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. The accused was sentenced to three months' hard labour in Darlinghurst Gaol, but sentence was ordered to be suspended on his finding surety for £15, and one for himself for the same amount, and the chain in dispute to be handed over to the clerk of the peace.

 "A sad and fatal accident occurred last Saturday morning to a jockey named Thoroughgood, at Warwick Farm, the well known racing establishment of Messrs. Forrester and Smart. It appears that it is the custom each morning for the smaller boys to receive assistance when mounting their horses, but young Thoroughgood, one of the best behaved and most promising lads in the stable, ventured to mount "Gipsy's Warning", a two-year-old colt, without the assistance of the head trainer, Barnes. The boy was not seated when one of the paddock horses galloped past and startled the colt, who in his career threw the boy with such force, his head coming in contact with the butt end of a tree that death was almost instantaneous. The funeral procession took place last Sunday from Warwick Farm, and was attended by the proprietors, as well as a few of the deceased's relatives. As a last tribute of respect, the boys of the stable carried his coffin the whole distance to Liverpool Cemetery.(Town and Country Journal 4/8/1883)"[575]

Nathaniel Pidgeon (1803-1879), city missionary, was born on 16 August 1803 in Bellevue, County Wexford, Ireland, the only son of Richard Pidgeon, Church of England yeoman, of Ogle's Loyal Blues, and of Elizabeth Foley of Baladicken. James Bulger, an itinerant revivalist, won over the family to Methodism. After some years of casual worship Nathaniel was 'converted' and while active as a lay preacher met and married Eliza Proud, whose grandfather had assisted John Wesley in Ireland. Pidgeon, his parents and thirteen other members of the family emigrated to Australia and arrived at Sydney in May 1841, excepting his father who died at sea. Pidgeon worked as a cabinet maker and lay preacher until 1850 when he decided to devote his whole time to evangelism and, in association with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, became the first city missionary in Sydney. About 1860 he felt the need for greater freedom of expression and separated from the Wesleyans. In 1861 he and his followers created an independent organization and successfully petitioned the government to register him as an Independent Methodist, with power to solemnize marriages. The new group built a brick chapel on a corner of Sussex and Liverpool Streets, but financial burdens soon proved too much for them. In 1868 five trustees of different denominations took over the responsibilities and maintained the chapel as an unsectarian place of worship for the poor of the city. Pidgeon continued his work with the chapel until accident and illness incapacitated him in 1875. He died at Milson's Point on 17 February 1879, leaving a widow, six sons and a daughter. Pidgeon was a courageous and an apparently difficult character. Orthodoxy frowned upon his disregard for the form and gentility that made religion respectable. The very vehemence of his preaching offended the ears of the cultured ordained, although he often had 'the liberty', as he termed it. He prayed with, and exhorted against, the lowest elements of the city's degraded society. His generosity kept his family impoverished but often gained him unsolicited support for his work. A complex personality he was all things to all men: demagogue, bigot, scold and saint.[Aust. Dict. Biography] Swiss Terrace, Brisbane Street, was located at 47-51 Brisbane Street.[City Rate Books] The terrace block is no longer standing but probably looked something like the block of 3 terrace apartments above.

Paddington is an inner-city, eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Paddington is located 3 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district and lies across the local government areas of the City of Sydney and the Municipality of Woollahra. Paddington is colloquially known as Paddo. 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. Since 1973, the suburb has also featured a bohemian market, conducted each Saturday in the grounds of the Paddington Uniting Church and the playground of the adjacent Paddington Public School.[Wikipedia] The residences along Brodie Street were demolished at some time between 1905-1955. The site of No.3 is now occupied by the Royal Hospital for Women. Brodie street was part of the Flinder's Estate which was bought by the Benevolent Society, founders of the hospital, in 1901. No.3 was likely demolished soon after Philip's death in 1903. By 1900 James Street, running off Sussex street to Day Street, had been entirely converted to warehouses and factories. James Lane, running parallel to Sussex & Day Street's, remained largely residential. Nothing remains in either street of 19th century architecture or even early 20th century.

Surry Hills is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Surry Hills is located immediately south-east of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Sydney. Surry Hills is surrounded by the suburbs of Darlinghurst to the north, Chippendale and Haymarket to the west, Moore Park and Paddington to the east and Redfern to the south. Central is a locality in the north-west of the suburb around Central Station. Prince Alfred Park is located nearby. Strawberry Hills is a locality around Cleveland and Elizabeth streets. 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. Foveaux Street is named in his honour. 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. After Palmer's political failures, his reduced financial circumstances forced the first subdivision and sale of his estate in 1814. Isaac Nichols bought Allotment 20, comprising over 6 acres. 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 four acres. Within a four year period the cemetery was expanded by the addition of seven 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. Central railway station was opened on the 4th August 1906. The area around Cleveland and Elizabeth streets was known as Strawberry Hills. Strawberry Hills post office was located at this intersection for many years. In 1833, the Nichol's estate was subdivided and sold. One purchase was by Thomas Broughton and subsequently acquired by George Hill who constructed Durham Hall on this and adjoining lots. 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. 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] Macquarie Street. No. 215 (Whitehall, erected 1921) is the white building at right of photograph. 219-223 (Lucretia Terrace, erected 1873) is on the left. The double terrace in the centre (217-217a) does not show a name or construction date.[Sydney Archives] In 1861/1863 217 Macquarie Street was a stone & brick building with a slate roof, 4 floors and 8 rooms. In 1891, in Cook Ward, it was leased by John Lyon, owned by Thomas Millsop, a brick & stone house with a slate roof, 2 floors, 7 rooms & a gross annual value of £62. In 1901 it was described as a house in the Belmore Ward, owned by Thomas Millsop (who also owned houses from 205-219), no tenant listed and a gross annual value of £40. In 1911 No.217 was leased by Caroline Wilson, owned by Alfred Ernest Starkey, a 5 floor & 24 room brick house with a slate roof & a gross annual value of £494. No 217A was leased by Mrs Job, owned by Alfred Ernest Starkey, a 5 floor & 20 room brick house with a slate roof & a gross annual value of £364.[City of Sydney Assessment Books] {It would appear that around 1900 the property was likely a boarding house} 22 Hastings Street has, alas, been demolished and a modern dwelling erected on the site. Most other properties in the area appear to be contemporary to the 1910's.

In the late 1800s No.389 Bourke Street was the Queen's Arms Hotel. Darlinghurst is an inner-city, eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Darlinghurst is located immediately east of the Sydney central business district and Hyde Park, within the local government area of the City of Sydney. Darlinghurst is a densely-populated suburb with the majority of residents living in apartments or terraced houses. From a slum and red-light prostitution district in the 1920s - 1980s, Darlinghurst has undergone urban renewal since the 1990s and early 2000s to become a rather upmarket, cosmopolitan and diverse area. The main thoroughfare of Darlinghurst is considered to be Oxford Street which is well-known around the world as the centre of Sydney's gay community, and is home to a number of gay venues. In recent years, Oxford Street has garnered a reputation as being Sydney's primary "nightclub strip", popular with both gay and straight clubbers, and surpassing the notorious red-light district of Kings Cross in popularity. Subsequently, crime rates increased in the area, particularly for assaults and robberies. East Sydney is a locality in the western part of the suburb; Taylor Square is another locality within the suburb. Kings Cross is a locality on the northern border. Darlinghurst is surrounded by the suburbs of Woolloomooloo, Potts Point, Rushcutters Bay, Paddington and Surry Hills. The suburb was originally known as Eastern Hill and then Henrietta Town, after Governor Lachlan Macquarie's wife, whose second name was Henrietta. The loyalties changed with the change of governors and the suburb became Darlinghurst in honour of Elizabeth Darling, the popular wife of Governor Ralph Darling, during the early 19th century. The 'hurst' is an old English word for a wooded area.[Wikipedia] The Free Church of England was established by William Bailey (1806-1873), a convict sentenced to life for forging a promissory note. He was, in later years, an authorised marriage celebrant, and the Free CofE seems to have been a place for quick marriages without the trappings and regulations required of a marriage in the established church. The church had no connection, formal or otherwise, with the established Church of England (nor with the denomination of the same name that still exists in the UK). The 'church' was located at No.41 Burton Street, Sydney, likely the residence of William Bailey. The site today is the location of an Independent Baptist church, althought there is no connection with Bailey's church.[DPS Archives] William Bailey, clergyman, was born on 3 October 1806 at Belfast, Ireland, the son of Robert Bailey and his wife Mary, née Patrick. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin (B.A., 1829; LL.D., 1841), where he became a resident tutor. He was ordained in 1831, and in 1832 married Mary Elizabeth (b.1792), daughter of Edward Walker and Margaretta, née Jones, of Over Hall, Gestingthorpe, Essex. He became private chaplain of his wife's family and in 1839-43 he was rector of St Peter's, a chapel of ease in the parish of St Margaret's, Queen's Square, Westminster. In February 1843 Bailey was convicted of uttering a forged promissory note for £2875 in favour of his sister, was sentenced to transportation for life and in August arrived in Van Diemen's Land in the Gilmore. He served first in a gang at Impression Bay, where his capture of an absconder earned for him removal to service in Hobart Town, but not the absolute pardon he appealed for. In July 1844 Mary Bailey followed her husband to the colony with their son. She also brought a letter of introduction to Lieutenant-Governor Sir John Eardley-Wilmot, to whom a distant relative, Lord Kenvon, had presented her case. Various religious and poetic works had been published under her name in England, and some of them were listed in her advertisement in April 1846 for private pupils at her home in Fitzroy Place, Hobart. From 1845 to 1850 she contributed verse regularly to the Colonial Times and in it she also had printed, as an admirer of the classics, her translation of eight odes of Anacreon. On receiving a ticket-of-leave in 1847, Bailey also advertised tuition in classics, mathematics and languages, and next year the family moved to Davey Street where they opened separate schools for boys and girls. In 1847 Bailey also became editor of the Hobarton Guardian, the proprietor of which published strong Roman Catholic views, and advocated the continuance of transportation on economic and social grounds. Allegedly slanderous articles led to open quarrels with the proprietor in the paper's columns; nevertheless Bailey remained editor, and his wife contributed poetry and prose articles. In June 1854 the Guardian was incorporated in the Mercury, and a year later Bailey received a pardon conditional on his residence in the colonies. In Hobart Bailey had joined the Roman Catholic Church and received 'Francis Xavier' as his religious name. In 1858, when he moved with his family to Sydney, he carried a letter of introduction to Archbishop John Bede Polding, who gave him charge of St Mary's Seminary. When it was broken up in 1862 Bailey taught in several private girls' schools and opened his own school at his home in South Head Road. In the Sydney Morning Herald, 7 May 1864, he advertised that 'divine services, according to the liturgy and doctrines of the Church of England' would be conducted in his classroom each Sunday, and that baptisms and marriages would be performed without charge, all expenses being defrayed by voluntary contributions. Two days later the diocesan registrar, under orders from the bishop of Sydney, advertised that 'Bailey was not connected with the Church of England in the colony'. On 19 May the full details of Bailey's crime in London were exposed in the Sydney Morning Herald, probably by John West with whom Bailey had crossed swords in Tasmania. Bailey was promptly dismissed from the girls' schools and his own pupils were withdrawn. On 11 August 1864 his action against the Herald for libel, with damages of £5000, was heard in the Supreme Court, and the jury awarded him £100. While Bailey slowly regained pupils, his living depended on his 'free' church. His congregation was neither large nor respectable, but it won him a licence for solemnizing marriages. These grew in number to some 400 a year and, although he appeared to run a marriage shop, some of his customers were of reasonable standing in the community. In 1871 he was sentenced to six months imprisonment for improperly marrying a minor. On his release the registrar-general refused to renew his licence and Bailey applied for a mandamus. It was rejected by the Supreme Court, for he could not prove that he was 'a minister of religion ordinarily officiating as such'. Bailey's wife died after a long illness on 28 August 1873 aged 81 years. She was buried in the Anglican section of the Sydney necropolis. Eight weeks later Bailey married in Sydney according to the rites of the Presbyterian Church, Harriet, who was born in Adelaide, daughter of Matthew Connolly, master mariner. William Bailey died, 'a clerk in holy orders', at his home in Palmer Street on 1 August 1879 and was buried at St Jude's Anglican cemetery, Randwick. Ten weeks after his death, his widow Harriet married James Cutter, a builder, of Manly.[Aust. Dict. Biography]

Waterloo is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Waterloo is located 4 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney. 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 (5.7 km2) of land in 1823. He sold Waterloo Farm to Daniel Cooper (1785-1853) and Solomon Levey (1794-1833). 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 New South Wales 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 New South Wales 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. By 2006, median individual income in Waterloo was slightly higher than the Australian average.[Wikipedia] Alexandria is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Alexandria is located 4 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney. The rough boundaries of Alexandria are Botany Road to the east, Gardeners Road to the south, Mitchell Road and Sydney Park to the west, and Henderson Road to the north. It is approximately 2 kilometres south of Central Station. Alexandria was named after Princess Alexandra, wife of King Edward VII. The name was also used for the surrounding parish. In 1868, the Borough of Alexandria was formed, after separating from Waterloo. The former Alexandria Town Hall is in Garden Street. By 1943, Alexandria was the largest industrial district in Australia, and known as the "Birmingham of Australia", with everything from bricks to aeroplanes manufactured in 550 factories in just 1,000 acres (4.0 km2). The municipality was abolished upon merger into the City of Sydney in 1949, along with Darlington, Erskineville, Newtown, Redfern, Waterloo, Paddington and Glebe. In 1968 the boundaries were changed again and Alexandria was part of a new municipality, South Sydney Council. South Sydney was brought back into the City of Sydney in 1982 and then became separate again under the City of Sydney Act of 1988. In 2004, Alexandria moved back into the City of Sydney, when the City of Sydney was merged with the City of South Sydney. Alexandria is a largely industrial suburb with medium to high density residential areas. The suburb was once mostly terraced housing, that was demolished for light industrial use and warehousing which continues to this day. Pockets of quiet residential areas remain along the northern boundary of the suburb, adjoining Erskineville and Waterloo.[Wikipedia]

The village of Carcoar in the Central Tablelands of NSW was first surveyed in 1838 and gazetted in 1839 at the request of Sir Thomas Icely who had a large holding called Coombing Park and Stoke. He envisaged that it would be a centre to supply services and law and order - something which the new settlement sorely needed. It is hard to imagine now, but Carcoar has a real "Wild West" history and the Court House and Police Station used to be very busy. For instance, in 1863 John O'Meally and Johnny Gilbert, members of Ben Hall's bushranging gang, attempted Australia's first daylight bank robbery in Carcoar. Casually fronting the teller of the old Commercial Bank Gilbert demanded all of the money in the bank. But the clerk produced a pistol and took a shot at them and the pair fled. On a separate occasion Hall held up the local Presbyterian minister, James Adam (also known as the Apostle of the Saddle), but decided not to rob him because he seemed such a nice bloke. In another famous case gang member John Vane stole a famous racehorse called Comus II from Icely's stables while a police superintendent was there as a guest. Fearing for his safety Icely left his eldest son in charge of the property and went back to Sydney, never to return to Carcoar. But the worst crime at Carcoar was undoubtedly the axe murder in September 1893 of City Bank manager John Phillips and a young female friend of his wife, Frances Cavanagh, by the son of one of the wealthiest pastoralists in the district. The 25 year old Herbert (Bertie) Glasson broke into the bank late at night, waking Phillips, his wife and Cavanagh who was staying as a guest. Phillips went to collect his loaded pistol and went to investigate but was attacked with the axe and died. Cavanagh had got out of bed to see what was happening but she too was killed with the axe. The Carcoar community didn't recover from the shame of these gruesome murders for many years. As the first settlement beyond Bathurst, it seemed that Carcoar was destined to become a major economic centre. Initially, its main income base was agriculture, but minerals including iron ore, cobalt and copper soon began to add to the wealth of the district. Gold was discovered nearby in the 1850s and businesses in Carcoar were established to cater for the population increase. Government followed with the establishment of many fine imposing administrative buildings. Cobb & Co. also established its agricultural headquarters at Coombing Park and during the era of horse drawn travel Carcoar became a convenient overnight stay - equidistant from Bathurst, Orange and Cowra. However the town's fortunes began to decline in the 1880s when the main railway bypassed Carcoar in favour of Blayney. When the railway finally reached Carcoar in 1888 it was only a branch line, and other towns such as Blayney and Orange had already overtaken it. Today, even the Mid Western Highway bypasses the town and Carcoar has become a quiet village with much to offer tourists who are interested in Australian history.[Wikipedia] Mount Macquarie. When Thomas Mitchell first surveyed the area in the early 1800s, he commented on the Three Peaks - Mount Panorama near Bathurst, Mount Canobolas near Orange, and Mount Macquarie which is a short distance to the south east of Carcoar. A drive from Carcoar across "The Mount" gives wonderful views in all directions.[Carcoar History]

Auburn is a suburb in western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales Australia. Auburn is located 19 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre of the local government area of Auburn Council.

The current St Matthias church building is a sandstone structure in the gothic revival style. The building began as a Maltese cross but subsequent additions have altered this to be an approximately Latin cross. Throughout its history the building has been known as the St Matthias Garrison Church and more recently simply as St Matthias. The first church of St Mathias was built in 1855. Only 3 months after the church was consecrated, the water board resumed the land for a raised reservoir. In compensation the church was given an expanse of land known as the Lachlan Swamps. In 1859 construction began on the new (and present) building and in 1861 the new church was opened for public worship. In 1892 the land surrounding the church was subdivided by the local council for further residential development. The church interior in the following two years was also to be significantly redeveloped. Zachary Barry was the rector from 1868 to 1898.[St Matthias] Philip's residence at the time of his marriage, 22 John Street, Woollahra, is today located on one of the most exclusive streets in one of Sydney's most exclusive suburbs. In 2009 it was sold for an undisclosed sum, with the following description: "Historic worker's cottage - a sunlit & secluded retreat in the heart of Woollahra. Steeped in history and secluded behind a lush rainforest garden, this 1850s worker's cottage offers a sun filled sanctuary in a prestigious village setting. A rare and prized offering, it opens out to a leafy garden courtyard with a perfect north aspect and features spacious open interiors infused with a rustic allure and uplifting sense of privacy and tranquillity. Brimming with potential, it offers scope to recreate the interiors and further capitalise with a second level. Features include one of Woollahra's finest streets, moments to Queen Street; reminiscent of an alluring & romantic Tuscan artist's retreat; open plan living & dining featuring an open fireplace; charming kitchen with vintage Italian tile finishes; glass-framed casual living embraces the idyllic garden; 3 bedrooms, 2 double bedrooms, main with built-in storage; internal courtyard, Italian tiled bathroom with Roman tub; metres to Centennial Park & a short walk to Bondi Junction; land size 156 sqm (approx)."[Domain]

Philip & Amelia's residence was given in 1900 as 230 Castlereagh Street, Sydney. In 1891 at that address was a shop and residence, the home of Mrs A Darcy, P. Cole the landlord. A brick building with an iron roof, 3 floors and seven rooms, with an annual ratable value of £165.[Sydney Assessment Books] In 1902 the ratable value had dropped to £115, but it then had a slate roof, was the residence of  R. F. Feinberg and the landlord was William Thomas Cole.[Sydney Assessment Books] The property was adjacent to and probably connected with the Royal Standard Hotel (no.226-228), leased by J. T & J. Toohey (now one of the biggest beer brewing & hotelery companies in Australia). Both No.230 & the hotel were owned by the same landlords in 1891 and again in 1902. The Royal Standard remains on the same site, however the original building (along with No.230 and probably others) has since been demolished and replaced by a high-rise, more 'appropriate' for the CBD setting. The edge of No.230 is visible in the photograph above (far left).
Mascot is a suburb in south-eastern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Mascot is located 7 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre of the City of Botany Bay. Mascot is on the north-west side of Botany Bay and contains Sydney Airport. The first land grants in the area were made in 1835, with market gardening being the main land use. Subdivision followed the construction of Botany Road in 1875 and a municipality known as North Botany was formed in 1888. A racecourse operated in this area in 1904 on land that was formerly owned by the Australian Golf Club. The race course was known as Ascot, named after its famous counterpart Ascot, Berkshire, in England. Residents wanted the area to have an individual identity and a referendum was held in 1911 to choose between Mascot, Boronia and Booralee. In 1920, Mascot was chosen as the site of a public airfield. Nigel Love was leasing 200 acres (0.81 km2) from the Kensington Race club and in 1921 the Commonwealth Government purchased 161 acres (0.65 km2) for this purpose. The first regular flights began in 1924. Cooks River was diverted away from the area in 1947-52 to provide more land for the airport.[Wikipedia]
