WILLIAM GLANVILLE is one of the very earliest of Manaro's pioneers. He arrived on Manaro in 1832, when the district was regarded as extending from Micaligo to Gippsland, and immediately entered the service of Joseph Ward and Samuel Bowler, who had a cattle station at Wambrook. Glanville, who was generally known as "Ward's Bill," has left it on record that at the time of his arrival, what is now Cooma had only one hut, which then belonged to Cooper and Levy. The "Flats", or Reed's Flats, sometimes called Jew's Flats, were owned by Dr. Reed. There was no track for travellers to follow, and swags were carried. Glanville, on his journey, was accompanied by David McEwan and James Hill. The former, who had been an assigned servant to Joseph Ward, had been to Manaro before, and accompanied the expedition as a guide. He later got burnt to death at Cooma.

Passing the Flats, Glanville states that he met William Stanton, who, afterwards was hotel-keeper at Nimitybelle, was at that time hut-keeper for Dr. Reed.

At the time written of, the first station on the Cooma side of Micaligo was Yangalara, the property of Joshua John Moore, one of the first settlers at Canberra; the next one was Billylingera belonging to John Cosgrove.

Wambrook at the time Glanville went there had on it one hut only. This was occupied by the stockman, Joseph Slack, who a couple of years later formed a station for himself on Slack's Creek, from the waters of which Glanville is said to have been the first white man to drink.

There were at this time only three stations west of Cooma; Coolringdon, held by Commissary Ryrie, Gegedzerick, by Brooks, and Wambrook, by Ward and Bowler.

In 1836 Glanville took a trip to Sydney with a consignment of Ward's cattle, returning with a load of stores for James Kirwan, who was about to start business in Cooma. Three months later further supplies being necessary, Glanville was again sent. Kirwan, who had married Ward's sister, wanted his wife to come to Manaro, but Mrs. Kirwan's mother and brother objected to her going where no other white women were. In 1839 Glanville took another, and last, trip to Sydney for Ward with cattle to Camperdown, and returning, brought Mrs. Ward and family to Wambrook. In the same year he left the service of Ward and entered that of Kirwan, who was then keeping an hotel. The later years of his life Glanville passed at Berridale, where he was well-known some thirty-five years ago.

"Ward’s Bill" - William John GLANVILLE (Alias GRANVILLE)
Circa 1814 to 1902.
By David Lee GLANVILLE (William’s 2nd Great Grandson)
30th November 2001.

William John GLANVILLE was born in Devonport, Devonshire in 1814. Not too much is known about William’s early years other than that his father, name unknown, was a ship’s carpenter, his mother’s name was Mary Anne WAKEHAM and that for a period of time William had been a baker’s boy. (#1 & #23)

I guess that his pay in the bread making business was not enough to satisfy his needs, so to supplement his income, William provided a stocktaking service to the local businesses. On the 27th April 1831 William GRANVILLE organised with James BREWER and John ROWSE to break into a store in Stoke Dameral that was owned by William WILLIAMS. The group stole thirty-one knives (6d each), twenty-four snuffboxes (8d each), thirty-seven watch jewels (1s each), eighteen broaches (9p each), two pair of ear drops (8s a pair), two strings of coral beads (8s) and forty-seven rings (4p each). (#21) It was at this stage that the authorities knew of William by the alias William GRANVILLE.

Unfortunately the group’s plans became unraveled and they were arrested. They were all tried at the Castle of Exeter in the County of Devon at the Summer Assizes on Wednesday 27th of July 1831. William GRANVILLE, James BREWER and John ROWSE, all described as labourers from the Parish of Stoke Damerel, were convicted for breaking into a shop and stealing jewellery. William, James and John were all sentenced to "transportation 14 years". Mary BREWER, the wife of John BREWER, was convicted of receiving some of the stolen goods and was also sentenced to "transportation 14 years". A second indictment against the group was not pursued due to their conviction on the first. This indictment was for stealing seven pairs of shoes (4s each) from a Christopher OLDFIELD on the "27th April in the first year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord William the Fourth by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland King Defender of the Faith." (1831 for short !) (#2 and #21)

William GRANVILLE and James BREWER were embarked upon the convict ship "John I" along with 198 other male convicts. (#3) The ship remained in England upwards of three weeks after commencing to take aboard the convicts. (#18). The John I was a 464 ton, E1 class ship that was built in 1810 at the dockyards of Chester. (#4).

The ship’s surgeon, James LAWRENCE reported that many of the convicts that came onboard suffered from diarrhea with symptoms of "violent headache, thirst, quick pulse and considerable tenesmus of the abdomen". The surgeon wrote that for those with this complaint "castor oil, or calomel and rhubarb were the remedy employed. To those whose stools were scanty, and attended with tormina and tenesmus, purges of calomel and rhubarb were given, and the chalk mixture with the tincture of catechu to those whose stools were frequent, loose and copious. They all recovered." (#18)

Four miles off Deal lies one of the world's greatest hazards to shipping, "the Goodwin Sands", a sandbar 12 miles long and five miles at it’s widest point. Countless vessels have foundered on the shifting sands and have been sucked down, never to be seen again. Between the Goodwin Sands and the shore is a channel called 'The Downs', that was once a safe anchorage, particularly for sailing ships waiting to move in and out of the Thames. It was at "The Downs" that the convict ship master, Samuel J. LOWE, had waited his ship until the conditions were right on the 7th February 1832, to commence the voyage out of the Thames and onto the colony of New South Wales.

The voyage from England to Australia took 122 days. Around the 26th March 1832 and near 23.32o South Latitude and 29.40o West Longitude (1200km east of the South American coast), the safety of the ship was put at risk. (#20) Some convicts had set fire to some refuse in their cell near the base of the main mast. The fire was eventually put out and the crew assessed the damage to be minimal. Convicts involved in the incident were punished and that would have been the end of it had not one of the convicts given the master some lip. The convict, COLYTON, was given the unusual punishment of having to walk the ship’s deck whilst carrying the base of his wooden bed upon his back. This went on for a full ship’s watch and during that time the convict’s general condition deteriorated until he became very ill. The surgeon attended to COLYTON after the punishment, but his condition continued to deteriorate until he eventually died. (#4)

The surgeon reported the ship’s passage from England to be fine until they reached 40o South of Latitude, when seas "became very boisterous and continued so the remainder of the passage."(#18) On the 8th June 1832, the ship arrived at Port Jackson, the convicts onboard were mustered and William was allocated Prisoner Number 32-1159. The Bound Indentures for the John I (#17) describes William GRANVILLE at the age of 18 as 5’ 2 ¼ " tall, with light brown hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion. He is also described as having a tattoo of an anchor on his lower left arm, a scar on the back of his left thumb and small hairy mole on the back of his lower right arm. The anchor was the most popular tattoo image during this time and interestingly, most of the wearers had nothing to do with the sea. It was used as a symbol of hope and constancy and was often attached to a loved one's initials. (#19)

Free persons in the colony had previously made application to the Governor to have a convict assigned to them. Assignments were made by a lottery draw, to provide a non-biased allocation of this cheap labour. It was announced in the Government Gazzette, on the 29th august 1832, that William GRANVILLE, a Baker’s Boy, was assigned to Joseph WARD of Aird, which today is the locale of Minto in Campbelltown N.S.W. (#5) I do not know what became of James BREWER.

Joseph WARD sent William to work beyond the borders of the nineteen counties, to his property "Wambrook" (#12) on the Monaro (Maneroo). In those days the Monaro was considered to extend from Micalago to Gippsland. William made the trip with James Hill and was guided by another of WARD’s assignees, David McEWEN. The trip was not regarded as a pleasure trip as described by William "There is not much fun in a man walking and carrying his swag." There was no highway in those days, and paths could scarcely be described as cattle tracks, so travelers had to pilot their way as best they could. William said "We would never have found our way, only for our guide, David McEWEN, who was an assigned servant to Joe WARD, and who had been here before. Poor fellow, he got burnt to death in Cooma."

The trip from Campbelltown to Wambrook was eased by the hospitality provided by the settlers and squatters on the track. You only had to call in at the tracks wayside houses, and the owners would make the traveler most welcome. No recompense was necessary and it was with extreme difficulty that the traveler could set about getting back "on the track" the following day. The longer the traveler stayed the more pleased the head of the house appeared. William said "You could stop a week in those days, as they were only too happy to have you for companies sake." In the 1830s, the labouring man did not have to go about begging for food as even an offer to cut several logs of wood to pay for the hospitality was met with a reply of " We have plenty of men to chop our wood, there are too many of your sort going about!"

As William and his companions were passing "The Flats"(Bunyan), they were startled by a man in a red cap emerging out of a hole in the side of a bank. Upon further examination into the hole they discovered that it was a chimney into the man’s residence, which was no more than an excavation into the side of a bank. The man’s name was STANTON and he was in the employ of Dr REID as a hut keeper. STANTON later ran a hotel in Nimmitybelle. "The Flats" were then owned by Dr REID who was practically monarch of all that he surveyed. (#15)

As William and his companions continued on their journey, they passed through Yangalara, owned by Mr. Joshua John MOORE and Billylingera owned by Mr. COSGROVE. As they traveled through, what is now Cooma, they passed COOPER and LEVY’s stone hut that was the only structure around. William’s first journey, in 1832, to the Monaro ended when he arrived at Wambrook Station then owned by WARD and BOWLER. The station then consisted of only one hut in which reigned the stockman Joseph SLACK. A few years later, SLACK left Wambrook and established his own station on what is now known as Slacks Creek. The only other stations to the west of what is now Cooma at that time, were Coolingdron, held by Commissary RYRIE and Gegedzerick held by Mr. BROOKS. Buckley’s Crossing, Berridale, Adaminaby and even Cooma did not exist at that time. (#15)

William thought that the 1830s were much better than the 1890s. " There was more money available in the form of I.O.U.s and the squatters were "Jolly good fellows. In fact, the squatters and men were nearly all alike, as you have said before" said William "If a person wanted to pay another even the sum of eighteen pence, he would give an I.O.U. for the amount." (#6)

William became known in the Monaro district as "WARD’s Bill". In 1836 William undertook a trip from Wambrook to the Sydney Metropolitan Markets with a herd of WARD’s cattle. It was customary to back load the trip with station supplies and store goods. On this occasion James KIRWAN had decided to establish a store in what is now known as Cooma. KIRWAN and WARD were in partnership in a "bumboat" which is basically a travelling store. Prior to this trip KIRWAN had not been to the Monaro area. Three months after the establishment of the store, goods began to run short and needed replenishing. William was dispatched to safeguard the load during the 200-mile trip from the warehouse to the store. (#10)

KIRWAN had recently married WARD’s sister and was planning to take her with him to the Monaro. WARD and his mother opposed KIRWAN’s plan, as there were no white woman in the Monaro region. WARD had tried everything to prevent KIRWAN from taking his sister and finally when driven to wits end he decided that the trip must fail. A new dray had been purchased for the trip and stood fully laden and ready to start. In desperation to stop KIRWAN, WARD seized an axe and swung it down upon the wheel of the dray saying, "Here, I’ll have my half." WARD struck the wheel several times and eventually cut through three spokes. This did not deter KIRWAN from his plans and after the wheel was repaired, the party set off with William driving a composite team, of a mare in the shafts, a bull named "Spot" and a bullock named "Tinker" leading. (#10)

In the 1837 General Return of Convicts (#8), William was recorded as William GARANVILLE and was still assigned to Joseph WARD of Campbelltown. On the 8th April 1839, William was issued with a Ticket of Leave (No.39/692) (#7) by the Campbelltown bench. This Ticket gave William permission to employ himself for his own benefit, and to acquire property with some conditions. The conditions were that he reside within the district of Goulburn, as specified on the ticket; that he present himself periodically with Ticket before a Magistrate and that he attend Divine Worship weekly if performed within a reasonable distance. William was not allowed to remove to another district without the express sanction of Government, the ticket itself was liable to be resumed at any time at the pleasure of the Governor; and, in that case, William’s status would revert to that of being a prisoner of the Crown. On the 21st August 1839, the Police Magistrate at Goulburn altered the district on William’s ticket from Goulburn to Queanbeyan.

In 1839, William made a last trip from the Monaro to Campbelltown for WARD with a mob of his cattle and on his return journey he brought back WARD and family to Wambrook. There had been a bad drought from 1838 and 1839 and many settlers could not acquit their responsibilities and were ruined. While on the journey from Campbelltown with WARD and family, they ran short of water. Near Micalago there was a deep creek to which GLANVILLE was dispatched with an empty keg to procure some water. William had to walk three miles carrying the keg before he eventually found some water. Upon William’s return, WARD asked, "Well, Bill, what sort of water have you got?"; "Oh, not so bad" replied William. William knew that the water was very gritty under tooth. WARD knowing that William was having him on demanded "Where is the sugar?" "It is in the dray somewhere" William replied with indefiniteness. "Let’s have it" commanded WARD; "We must have some grog". The cask of rum was found and was opened using an auger. A pint was filled to the rim and WARD drank down the contents of the pot. WARD was known to prefer the undiluted tanglefoot as it flowed from the still and would not touch the gritty water. William speaks well of his old master and describes WARD as a good, generous and scholarly man even though he had a bit of a hot temper. At the end of that trip, William left WARD’s employment and joined WARD’s partner James KIRWAN. In 1839 Joseph WARD left Wambrook and pitched his tent on Bridle Creek, at the back of the black range of Coolingdron and formed his own station. (#11)

On his Ticket of Leave, William could employ himself and buy land as long as he remained in the specified district and presented himself at the various gatherings that were held to muster the convicts. To travel outside of the district William had to apply for a Ticket of Leave Passport. After leaving the services of WARD in 1839, William became an employee of KIRWAN at his Inn in Cooma. (#15) From the Ticket of Leave Passports and other muster records, we can trace some of William’s other wanderings.

At a convict muster in July 1840 William was shown to be in the employment of John WARD of Maneroo, on the 31st August 1842 he was allowed to remain at Maneroo in the service of Mr. William WARD, on the 20th Sept 1843 he was in the service of Mr. William NEILE of Maneroo (Kalkite), on the 10th January 1845, he was on the Snowy River Station in the service of Mr. James TAYLOR and from 1845 to 1846 the musters have him still employed by TAYLOR on the Snowy River Station. A remark in the records for a convict muster in 1847 has William’s status as "Free by Servitude" I believe that this was an informal status bestowed upon a convict who had served his time. (#9, #13 and #36)

The fact that William had completed serving his sentence was formally recognised on the 23 March 1847, when the Convict Superintendent issued him with a Certificate of Freedom (#1). Convicts who had completed their sentence were eligible to obtain this certificate and were then classed as free and could leave the colony if they so wished or take up land anywhere in the colony. This certificate could not be revoked. The certificate describes William as 5’ 7 ½" tall with brown hair, blue/grey eyes and a ruddy complexion. He also had a large featured pock pit in the centre of his forehead, a haired mole on the inner corner of his left eye, an anchor on the back of the lower part of his left arm, a scar on the back of his left thumb and a hairy mole on the back of the lower part of his right arm.

William drove many teams between the Monaro district and Sydney and sometimes the teams would take three to five months to make the journey. Along the route the teams would have to stop at swollen creeks and rivers until they went down as the bullockies could not allow their wool to get wet. On one instance, six teams from Gegedzerick, laden with wool became stuck at the "Burra" for fourteen days. The teams were driven by William GLANVILLE (Ward’s Bill), Henry NAPTHALI, Thomas ALMOND, Neil COCHRAN (Scotch Tom) and Thomas BECKET (Tom the Bull). They eventually decided to leave some of their load at the "Burra" (#37), took part on to Queanbeyan and Goulburn and returned for the balance they had left behind. (#14)

According to the records of St James' Anglican Church, King Street, Sydney, William married Eliza NAPTHALI on the 19th February 1850. (BDM V1850 149 36B) It is believed that William met Eliza, during one of his many trips to Sydney. Eliza was born on the 1st of May 1831, the daughter of Michael and Frances NAPTHALI. Michael had been transported as a convict in 1818 on the Royal Admiral. His wife Frances was born in the colony in 1804, the daughter of James DUNN and Catherine BARRY. James and Catherine were also convicts arriving in 1792 and 1793 on the convict ships the "Glory" and the ‘Sugar Cane".

Family folklore is that William first brought his new family through Kiah Lake, across the Eucumbene River and attempted to settle at a place called "Pretty Point". Eliza’s mother, Frances, was concerned about her going to "the wilds", and rightly so, as they had some troubles with the aboriginals during the trip. To ease the concerns, Frances sent Maurice, Eliza’s younger brother, along for support. Maurice would have been only about ten years of age (#34). Maurice was known as Morrie GLANVILLE until he became of an age when he resorted to using his real surname of NAPTHALI. They found it difficult to settle at "Pretty Point" due to the distance from the transport routes, so they then relocated to about a mile above the junction of the Snowy and Eucumbene Rivers, at a place known as Kalkite. This location too had its problems as it was directly on the path utilised by the aboriginals for their annual Bogong moth hunt and feast. (#22 , #16 and #36)

William and Eliza had nine children.
Maryann GLANVILLE was born 2 Nov 1851 at Kalkite (V1851 2633 37A) .
she married William REID on the 29 Oct 1869 at Gegedzrick. (#31)
Mary Anne died 4th January 1939. (BDM 899/1939)

Gwen HUBERT is descended from Maryann, via her daughter Cecilia REID and then her son Ossie WELLSMORE.

William John GLANVILLE was born 1852 at Kalkite. (BDM V1852 2347 39A)
He married Agnes BRYANT in 1877. Agnes was the daughter of William Henry BRYANT and Catherine PINKERTON (#35).
William John died in 1930. (BDM 9232/1930)
Louisa B GLANVILLE was born in 1854 at Kalkite. (BDM V1854 318 42A)
Louisa married John BURTON in 1875. (BDM 2300/1875)
Ellen GLANVILLE was born in 1857 at Eugundary. (Now Hugundara (#33)) (BDM 6117/1857)
Ellen died in 1859. (BDM 2948/1859)
George GLANVILLE was born in 1859 at Kalkite. (BDM 6801/1859)
He married Margaret BRYANT on 27th March 1889 in Bombala. (#30) Margaret was the daughter of William Henry BRYANT and Catherine PINKERTON (#35).
George died at Marrickville in 1945.(#32)

I am descended from George via his son Cecil Arthur Gordon GLANVILLE and then his son William Maxwell GLANVILLE.

Eliza GLANVILLE was born 27th Dec 1861. (BDM 7050/1862)
Eliza married Henry BLYTON in 1879.
Eliza died at Leichardt in 1939 (BDM 8093/1939)
Frederick GLANVILLE was born in 1864. (BDM 7723/1864)
Frederick married Ethel DARGEN in 1914. (BDM 1080/1914)
Frederick died at Kyogle in 1945. (BDM 25435/1945)
Arthur GLANVILLE was born in 1867. (BDM 8470/1867)

Max Glanville remembers taking meals down the road for "Uncle Arthur" when they lived in Neil Street, Merrylands, but it must have been Max's Great Uncle Arthur. Arthur died in Merrylands.

Thomas GLANVILLE was born in 1869. (BDM 9900/1869)
What became of Thomas is a bit of a mystery.

The NAPTHALIs and GLANVILLEs maintained close family ties as demonstrated by William being a witness at the marriage of Henry NAPTHALI and Susan CREIGHTON in 1856 (#29) and Maurice NAPTHALI being a witness at Maryann’s wedding to William REID in 1869 (#31).

On the 27th October 1875 William’s wife, Eliza, died at their property "Myack" on the Monaro. The death certificate issued by Dr. DONOVAN states that the cause of death was "exhaustion and haemorrhage" and that her illness was 6 hours in length. Eliza was only 45 years old. (#25) A death notice in a local newspaper stated that Eliza’s death was caused from malpresentation of twins. (#38) Eliza was buried at Gegedzerick Cemetery on the 30th October 1875.

In the Parliamentary Return of Landholders in 1885 (ISBN 0646 141341) William GLANVILLE was listed as having 640 acres at Myack in Gegedzerick. On this land he was reported as having had 9 horses, 630 sheep and 1 pig.

On the 13th October 1902, at 88 years old, William died at his Myack property. His death certificate states that the cause of his death was "Old Age". William was buried at Gegedzerick Cemetery on 5th October, finally joining his wife, Eliza, after almost 27 years. (#23)

The Mercury on Monday, 20th October 1902 contained an obituary for William and it states, "Our Berridale correspondent writes- Mr. W. GLANVILLE, Sen. one of the Pioneers of that district passed away on Monday Morning 13th inst., at the ripe old age of 89 years. He came to Wambrook in 1834 and went thence to Kalkite, near Jindabyne, afterwards to Hungundra, and then some 30 years ago took up land at Berridale, where he has resided since. He died at his place, after a residence of 70 years in N.S.W. He was buried at Gegedzerick Cemetery (C.of E.) where he was followed by some 100 persons. The Rev. VEY officiated at the grave. The deceased, who leaves a grown up family of three daughters and five sons, was a native of Devonshire, England. He was a very strong man and enjoyed good health to the last. He was one of the earliest wheat growers in the district, and owing to deep ploughing, one of the most successful. On some occasions he obtained 50 Bushels to the acre in one crop."

William died intestate but probate records and death duty records (#24) reveal further information about William. Death duties were assessed on William’s assets, some of which were:
100 Acres CP No.81.413 Portion 106, County of Wallace, Parish of Coolamatong on Myack Creek.
100 Acres CP No.76.303 Portion 105, County of Wallace, Parish of Coolamatong on Myack Creek.
120 Acres CP No.73.7109 Portion 53, County of Wallace, Parish of Coolamatong.
161 Acres CP No.82.714 Portion 58, County of Wallace, Parish of Coolamatong on Myack Creek.
159 Acres CP No.84.202 Portion 111, County of Wallace, Parish of Coolamatong.
40 Acres CL No.783 County of Wallace, Parish of Coolamatong on Myack Creek.
All with various improvements.

On Portion 53 there was a 6 bedroom wooden house (slab) with shingle roof built in 1875, one small wood out house with iron roof, one dilapidated crib and small orchard. The land and house was valued at £669 and along with his other positions the total value was assessed as £842 19s and 9d.

William owed the crown £115 9s and 1d for the land and had other debts, that when combined, all totaled to an amount of £537 8s 6d. This left £305 11s and 6d left to the relatives.

William GLANVILLE is also shown to have held 2 blocks of land in Sharp Street, Cooma but these were not listed in the Death Duties Assessment but I am not sure what became of these properties. (#27)

The "Myack" properties can be located today on Auslig Topographcic Map 8625-II&III BERRIDALE at grid reference 650710, look for the conglomerate of portion numbers 106, 105, 58, and 111 surrounding 53. I have made a visit to the old property on one of my many fly fishing sorties down to the Snowy/Monaro region. Some Berridale locals told me that the chimney from the old slab house had been standing up until the late 1990s, when a local property owner found a better use for the chimney blocks in a retaining wall at the back of his house. A few old fruit trees is all that can be seen from the Berridale-Dalgety Road about 3km from town, looking across the property "Mauka".

So was William John a GLANVILLE or was he a GRANVILLE? Well a chance discovery of a NSW Shipping Record (#28) tells us that a James GLANVILLE arrived in New South Wales in 1857. James stated that he had a cousin called William GLANVILLE who lived at Maneroo. Maneroo is the old name for what is now called the Monaro. So I believe that William’s correct surname is GLANVILLE. We also know that his middle name was John, from the marriage record of his son George. (#30) I have attempted to research the life of James GLANVILLE but have found nothing on which I could confidently write. This record though, does provide valuable evidence for anyone wishing to conduct research into the GLANVILLE ancestry beyond William.

After spending almost five months in a 17th century prison hulk and then the four months aboard the convict ship, it must have been a bewildering experience for 18 year William, when he arrived in this new land. William was set loose to traverse to the heart of the Snowy Monaro region, then regarded as "Terra Incognita". He enjoyed a level of freedom that many convicts at the time only dreamed about. In working off his 14 year sentence, William did his bit in the building of Australia as a nation. The product of his wanderings as a "Bullocky" resulted in the opening up of a new county, that became a rich agricultural area. After his sentence, he remained to marry and raise his family, thus providing further stability to the foundations of an infant nation. In settling to become a farmer, growing wheat and raising sheep, William can claim his place amongst those regarded to have provided Australia with the prosperity that "rode on the sheeps back" and came from wheat. It must have been humorous to see the states of Victoria and Queensland formed when they broke away from the colony of New South Wales, only to again be reunited in 1901 under Federation.

Though the surname of GLANVILLE is not as well known today in the Snowy/Monaro region as that of NAPTHALI, many locals of the region may be able to trace their origins back to the GLANVILLE name. Those of the region with the names of BLYTON, BURTON, REID or WELLSMORE in their lineage may be surprised to find that they are in some way related to William GLANVILLE.

"I have carried out a search for the records of convict William GRANVILLE (or GLANVILLE).

I located the trial records in ASSI21/57, which is the Crown Minute Book for 1831. I also located the indictments for him in ASSI25/22/8, which are the Devon Summer Assize records for 1831. His name is shown as William GRANVILLE, and he was convicted of stealing and sentenced to 14 years transportation. He was not initially sentenced to death like many other convicts. Although it does state he stole a quantity of knives, on the indictment you will see he was also accused of stealing various other items, including jewellery. There was also a second indictment, which was not pursued due to his conviction on the first. I have copied all these records. The indictments were on parchment.

There are no depositions available for Devon county until 1861.

I searched for a petition in HO19/5, which is the index to petitions in class HO17. I found no entry for William GRANVILLE/GLANVILLE. Class HO47, which contains Judges' Returns, including petitions, ends in 1830.

I finally tried to locate William on one of the convict hulks. There are registers of prisoners on the hulks in class HO9. There are indexes to each hulk, but no overall index. As we do not know which hulk he was one, I had to search each hulk one by one. I checked HO9/3, HO9/8, and HO9/9, which include hulks at Portsmouth, Woolwich, and Devonport. I found John Rowse in HO9/3 folio16b, being held on a hulk at Devonport, but no William GRANVILLE. I did not have time to search the remaining hulks in the three hours agreed. I would envisage it taking another hour or two to check the remainder. I thought HO9/3 was the most likely place to find him, as it took a lot of prisoners convicted at Exeter, however, he was not on their list."

26) Discussion in 2001 between Gwen Hubert and (Great Great Granddaughter of William GLANVILLE) and David GLANVILLE.

I think that they lived at Kalkite and the Snowy Plain on the Gungahlin River where the Napthali's lived. According to my father, Maurice Napthali came with Eliza to Monaro as her mother was concerned about her going to the "wilds" as Sis Kidman told me years ago. Eliza married in Sydney in1850 to GLANVILLE so Maurice must have been only 9 or 10. Dad said they came through Kiah Lake (#16) to Eucumbene River and were troubled by Blacks. Henry Napthali was also a teamster later on."

Our Berridale correspondent writes:
Mr. W. Glanville, sen, one of the pioneers of that district, passed away on Monday morning, 13th inst, at the ripe old age of 89 years. He came to Wambrook, in 1834, and went thence to Kalkite, near Jindabyne, afterwards to Hungundra; and some 30 years ago took up land in Berridale, where he has reside since. He died at his place, after a residence of 70 years in New South Wales. He was buried in the Gegedzerick Cemetery, (C of E) where he was followed by some 100 persons. The Rev. Mr. Vey officiated at the Grave. The deceased , who leaves a grown-up family of three daughters and five sons, was a native of Devonshire, England. He was a very strong man, and enjoyed good health to the last. He was one of the earliest wheat growers in the District, and owing to deep ploughing, one of the most successful. On some occasions he obtained 50 bushels to the one crop.
