Letters

 

Thomas Warry (1791-1869 - son of Onesiphorus Warry  and Elizabeth Ham ) in a letter written 7 March 1856 from Brisbane Queensland, Australia to his cousin Thomas Warry (1810-1874 – son of James Warry and Elizabeth Bartlett) at Ilminster,Somerset, England

 

Dear Tom,

I should have written to you sometime ago, but on my voyage, that is for the last six weeks or more, I had a rising on my right hand which prevented me from doing a single thing and which continued bad for two months after my landing, but thank god it is better although very week- and I am sorry to say that I am obliged to keep my bed or lie on a sofa nearly all the day from my leg, which I am fearful with, and is as bad as it formerly was. There is one thing, I have every attention and kindness that it is possible for one to have from everyone of my dear children. On Monday last I took possession of my new house, which you remember I told you was to be built on purpose for me, and I assure you a more comfortable one cant be. I have only Sarah for a servant with me and I hope to end my days in it. The house is built in a field of 10 acres of land, where I keep my horse, and avery good one it is, but I fear it will be sometime before I shall be glad to ride again.

 

We had a long passage of 103 days, but very fine weather , and a more pleasant one could not be. Sometimes for a day or two we could not make the least headway, being perfectly calm weather. As a gale of wind , we never had the slightest appearance of one for the whole voyage, we never ripped an inch of canvas. We all came out as first cabin passengers and had very comfortable berths, and plenty to eat and drink. We landed at Melbourne, just 1000 miles from here, wher we took a steamer first to Sydney and then to Brisbane which cost us 17pound each. This was more than half the money we paid from England to Melbourne, so you see they will not work without being paid for their labour in this country.

 

I will now try and say a little about the country.

 

As for Melbourne I cant say much, for I only remained there three days and went on shore only twice. It will I have no doubt one day be afine town, the bay certainly is very fine and a great number of fine ships from all quarters of the world was lying there. The goldfields were not in quite such a flourishing state as in former days, but still they were all paying those who liked to keep steady at it.

 

As for Sydney, it resembles a large English town as much as possible, with as beautiful country as possible round it, and as fine a harbour as there is in the world. The entrance to it is as delightful for scenery as there is in the world and I was never more pleased in my life with the sight of it.

 

On our arrival here we were received by some friends of Tom and Richard and taken to their dwellings, where we had every kindness shown to us and stayed nearly a week, but we had not been here more than a day or two before Richard and his daughter made their appearance and as you may suppose we were all very pleased to see them. He is very much altered, so that not one of us had the least recollection of him. After being in the room sometime he came and spoke to me with “Father, I find you do not recognise me. I was nearly going to my chase.” Tom I knew as well as if I had seen him the day before. Susan is very much altered. She is married, and her husband is in good circumstances. This is a strange part of the country and the buildings, or the greater part of them, are in a most humble way, all built with wood, and most of them very small with bad roads all round. But still every person seems happy and comfortable, and what makes them so is that most of them are doing a good business. You never hear a person ask to take anything off, but what the price is, that is paid. I bought 4 tons of potatoes 10 day since at 4 pound a ton and the day following Richard sold them again at 18pound a ton, without any expense. Tom and he are both doing a good trade and I think I may say a profitable one. They will both do anything to get a shilling or so. Oftentimes there are large quantities of horses brought into the town for sale from the ranch. They will sometimes purchase a large lot of them and sell them all again in a week. They have generally plenty on hand. The horses in this part are remarkably good and very safe. You rarely ever see anyone ride less than 8 or 10 miles an hour and that is equal to 15 miles in England. For all this you do not find a mile of your roads in 100, for the fact is we have none, and yet I have done 10 miles within an hour in the bush. All you have to do is let the horse have his head, for he will go.

 

Since I landed here there have been 1500 emigrants landed in different ships and I can safely say that very near all of them have got employment. As soon as they arrive they are put in barracks and there they remain until they have labour at the expense of the Colony. A single man has 40pound or 45 pound, also a ? with food and lodgings. (Tom is giving a boy not better than J Chilcote a 30 pound a year with everything found him). The result is that every person who likes to come out can do well, there are so many chances for them. Richard turns in his business at least 2000pounds a month with his bankers. The way the labourers do that have families is to get work and very soon build themselves a house of wood, with a good garden to it, when they appear to live as happy as can be, with nothing to pay for it.

 

I suppose you are going on at the Mill with full work and all contentment. Mr Jackson and his Master are on the best of terms and all goes very different to when I was there. Should either of the Mr Hutchings enquire after me, say I am quite well and happy ( if my leg was alright). I do not think you will ever make up your mind to leave that comfortable place. Should you ever make up your mind to come out you will find a home until there is something found for you to do. If you had been here last week there was a fine chance for you to have gone up in the bush with a large squatter, that is, one of those men that have large tracts of land. He applied to Tom for one and the second mate of a ship went with him. Some of these men (squatters) have five or more of these stations, and at each there is a respectable young man as Master.

 

I have seen people here from Seavington, also Merriott and Chard, appearing happy and well. I have a man very near me by the name of Salisbury. He used to live with, or rather drive Mr Hayward’s horses. He has as comfortable a house and garden as possible and he and his family are doing well.

 

I should wish you to write as soon as you can find time and give me what news you can about he country. Give my regards to John Marks and his wife and say that I think of them on a Saturday, and the old horse. Please give my love to your mother, brothers and sisters and to those at the Mill who may enquire after me.

 

Farewell and God bless you Tom and believe me always to be

 

Yours very affectionately

 

Thos Warry                

 

Emigration/Immigration United States of America and Canada

 

AS well as to Australia and New Zealand, there is likely to have been a similar emigration to the United States of America and some to Canada as well.

From an index it appears at least 40 WARRY’s emigrated to New York prior to 1900. If you can provide any information on emigration/immigration of

WARRY’s to USofA or Canada could you please contact
