They came of bold and roving stock that would not fixed abide
They were the sons of field and flock since e'er they learnt to ride
We may not hope to see such men in this degenerate years
As those explorers of the bush - the brave old pioneers.
Banjo Paterson - The Pioneers |

My
inspiration for taking on writing bush
poetry began with my love of Australian
history and folk lore. In my thirties
I undertook the task of tracking down my
mum's family the Callaghans. As my
mum's dad died in 1940 at the age of
thirty six, he left my grandmother with
four little girls under the age of
eight. My grandmother remarried,
so over the years contact with my
grandfather's family waned. The
task of finding them all took some eight
years, but proved to be very rewarding
and built up in me a deep respect for
all those early pioneers. Since
then, I have also researched the Sewell,
Marquard, McDonald and Webster, Crump and Edwards families.
There
were so many wonderful stories related
to me and I felt there had to be some
way I could keep them alive. I began to
listen to the larrikin bush yarns and
poetry of Keith Garvey and thought,
"That's it!"
and began to write my
first poems, which became the contents
of my first book, 'Tales of Uncle
Jim'. Since then I have written a
collection of eight books and it
has been my goal to keep alive our
wonderful heritage, the Aussie character
and the Aussie bush humour,
recording in narrative rhyming verse, or
bush ballad, and not only recording it
on paper, but on albums and also live
performances, which, I feel, bring the
stories alive. Today, I am one of
a number of bush poets, who in John Laws
words are ... keeping the dream
alive.
P.S.
I decided to take a page out of Stan
Coster's book and have taken the plunge
and begun singing my ballads as well.

At the
request of many family members I took on the task of rewriting
the Publication 'Not Famous Just Battlers' written some years
back and with all the modern facilities now available it made
the job much easier. I tried to contact as many family
members as I could to upgrade their families and if I have
missed any and you would like to contribute your upgrade then
please contact me on any of the sources below.
I also included a
section in the beginning of the book that gives details of Michael's
sister Margaret [Nee Brophy] Baker, his half sister Catherine [Nee
Callanan] Mullens/Summons, his halrf brother John Callaghan and his
half sister Mary Jane [Nee Callanan] Stephens. I have also included
their children down to the third Generation where available.
Descendants of these families should contact me if they wish to add
any details.
The bulk of the
book records Michael's family and his offspring down to eight
generations.
I have finally
completed updating the 594 page book and it is now available for
order.

RE NOT FAMOUS JUST BATTLERS
In 1890 while camped near Yetman, N.S.W., Michael Callaghan
died from stirring his tea with a stick taken from an Oleander
bush and though rushed to the Yetman Hotel he died within the
hour. Michael left behind his wife Catherine [Nee Kelly] and
ten living children and the memory of two deceased daughters.
His death revealed that Callaghan was his stepfather’s name
and the search for his Mother and Father turned out to be
quite a task. My research shows that his father was in fact
one William Brophy/Broggy and his mother was Mary White.
William was sent out from Ireland as a Convict and served his
time around Richmond, N.S.W. He entered into a defacto
relationship with a Mary White and Michael came into the world
in 1839. His sister Margaret came into the world in 1841/43.
William Brophy died in 1844 and Mary White would then marry a
John Callanan in the Maitland District in 1846. Mary and John
would have three children, Catherine, John and Mary Jane. The
book records the biographies of the latter and their
descendants down to the third generation. After John’s death
at Blandford N.S.W. in 1857 Mary would marry John Hearn in
Wallabadah, in 1860, then on his death a James Caffrey at
Moombi in 1872. Mary eventually passed away at Wallabadah in
1893.
The biggest volume of the 594 page book Not Famous – Just
Battlers follows the lives of Michael and Catherine around
Wallabadah in 1859-60, then onto the Liverpool Plains from
1860 to 1878 and then North to Goondiwindi in Queensland in
1878 and then back to Willow Tree in 1880 and then to the far
west of New South Wales and back into Western Queensland and
Roma in 1882. Then back to Goondiwindi in 1889 and Michael’s
death in 1890 at Yetman N.S.W. Catherine then moved to Beebo
Qld. and eventually died at Silver Spur in 1908. The book then
follows the lives of their twelve children and records their
descendants down to the eighth generation.
I have spent numerous hours researching these families and
wish to thank the many family members for their contributions.
For many, just sending for the birth, death and marriage
certificate of one parent would cost $100.00, but I have been
able to include the records and photos of Michael and
Catherine and their children along with a listing of their
siblings down to the eighth generation.
If you would like to purchase a copy/copies of this historical
research then send your order to the address above. The cost
of each book is $65.00 plus postage and handling. Postage
details are available below. If you wish to direct debit then
please phone or email for details. It is indeed a unique book
and something that each family member would be proud to own
and keep updated.

I have just completed an update of the old 318 page book on
the Sewell family to a 409 page book [6 September 2011] and it

taken the opportunity to obtain a copy of our unique family
history. Anyone wishing to obtain a copy can do so by
contacting me by mail, email or phone. Contacts below.

RE
FROM SERVITUDE TO FREEDOM
For young Joseph Sewell growing up in Chelmsford Essex
in the early 1800’s without parents, this would lead to his
being arrested on two occasions.
The latter charge of stealing a turkey in 1828 would
change his whole life, as he would be sentenced to serve his
time in the Penal Colony of New South Wales.
Joseph served most of his term around Newcastle before
earning his Ticket of Leave in 1838 and in 1840 he married a
young eighteen-year convict girl from Scotland by the name of
Jane Whittle. Joseph
and Jane had two sons, Joseph Jnr and Henry before Joseph’s
accidental death in 1844, which left Jane with two sons under
the age of two years and still serving her time.
Three and a half months later Jane would marry ticket
of leave holder Richard Carpenter and have nine more children.
Through the course of research it was revealed that
Jane had in fact had three children to Joseph Sewell, as she
was carrying Joseph’s third child [Richard Carpenter Jnr.]
when Joseph was accidentally killed.
It would seem that Jane then decided to give the child
a living father’s surname rather then a deceased father
surname. Therefore
Richard Carpenter Junior was in fact Joseph Sewell’s third
child.
From Servitude to Freedom follows the
lives of Joseph and Jane in Newcastle and then Jane and
Richard Carpenter as they journey north to Uralla where they
purchase property in the 1860’s.
Learn more about Joseph and Jane’s children, Joseph
Jnr, Henry and Richard and follow the lives of their children
and their descendants for eight generations.
I have spent numerous hours researching these families
and wish to thank the many family members for their
contributions. For
many, just sending for the birth, death and marriage
certificate of one parent would cost $100.00, but I have been
able to include the records and photos of Joseph and Jane’s,
three sons, fifteen grandchildren and sixty-four great
grandchildren along with a listing of their siblings down to
our present day.
Enquiries on how to purchase a copy/copies of this
historical research can be emailed/phoned to the Author.
The cost of each book is $60.00.
Postage and handling are extra and details are
available below. Money
Orders/Cheques or Direct Debit for payment will be accepted.
If you wish to direct Debit then please contact me for
information. It is indeed a unique book and
something that each family member would be proud to own and
keep updated.

RE
THE CRUMPS OF CUMBERLAND ENGLAND
Our story begins in 1777 in Cumberland, England
with the birth of Thomas Crump.
Thomas grew up in the vicinity of Hutton in the
Forest and an association with the Fletcher Dynasty.
Thomas married Deborah Simpson in 1794 and
together they would have six children, Margaret, Jane,
Elizabeth, Robert, Simpson and William.
The book shares information of these families.
Simpson would marry Jane Coulthard in 1824 and
they would have seven children, Robert, Joseph, Jane,
Deborah, Elizabeth, Mary and Margaret. The book shares information on these families as well.
For the main part we then follow the line of
Simpson and Jane’s first son Robert [Bah Gum] Crump
who married Mary Robson in Penrith, Cumberland in 1845.
Their four children Mary, Elizabeth, William and
Robert are born in Penrith and then Robert takes his
family to Australia in 1852 arriving through Port
Adelaide. Their
daughter Jane is born in Adelaide in 1853 and by 1855
the family had moved to the goldfields of Forest Creek [Castlemaine]
in Victoria. The
author’s great, great, grandfather, Simpson is born
there that year. Little
Jane would drown there that year as well.
The family then moved over to the Kingower
goldfields where Jane, Joseph, Mary Ann Josephine and
Ede [Ada] were born.
By 1869 the family had then moved to Mathoura,
N.S.W. where the last child John Robson was born in that
year. Robert
and Mary would live out their lives there and many of
the children stayed in the area.
Robert’s son Simpson would leave the district
around 1877 and go to Cobar in Western New South Wales
where he would marry Elizabeth Jane Eggleton and they
would have three children in the area, Mary Ann
Josephine, Elizabeth and Rose.
By 1884 Simpson would take his Carrying business
and the family North into South West Queensland where
their children Annie, Fanny, Scharlotte, Margaret,
William, Ethel, Rebecca and Rose where born.
Their last son Simpson Robert was born in Bourke,
New South Wales while on a visit there.
We then follow the children of Mary Ann Josephine
[ Josephine Mary Anne] and Alfred Webster and their
families.
I have spent numerous hours researching these
families and wish to thank the many family members for
their contributions.
For many, just sending for the birth, death and
marriage certificate of one parent would cost $100.00,
but I have been able to include the records and photos
of Robert and Mary and their children along with a
listing of their siblings down to the present
generation.
If you would like to purchase a copy/copies of
this historical research then send your order to the
address above.
The cost of each book is $65.00 plus
postage and handling. Postage details are available below. If you wish to direct debit then please phone or email for
details. It
is indeed a unique book and something that each family
member would be proud to own and keep updated.
