Hi Jan from Victoria The first Everingham in the Hawkesbury Windsor area was Matthew James Everingham, a first fleet convict. He and his wife, Elizabeth Rymes, had ten children, including five sons. Matthew drowned in 1817, however, many of the Everinghams remained in the area, including my great great grandfather, William. It is quite likely that the Everinghams you knew were descendants of the Everingham to whom your convict ancestor was assigned - probably Matthew James.

The last report appeared in=20 'Sydney Gazette' 30 December 1826 p. 3=20 "Catharine Connor for perjury to be transported for the term of three years= ." The other was from the 'Australian' on the 25 November 1826 : "Catherine Connor was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury.The assignmen= ts in=20 the information were two in number the first setting forth that the prisoner on being examined before the Police Bench at Windsor did depose on oath that she never allowed one Wm. Connoly to take unbecomin= g=20 liberties with her and that on a certain day he violated her person.=20 Wm. Connolly stated that in the month of September last he was assigned=20 to John Connor a settler living near Windsor - he was in the habit of meeting his mistress by appointment at various=20 places - she sometimes sent for him. Connor's situation not suiting him to his wishes=3D2C he begged his master to assign= =20 him to some other person. - Mr. Redman a farmer in the neighbourhood was=20 proposed and witness accepted the offer.He had not remained many weeks in his new master's employment when his late=20 mistress (Connor) urged him to return to his former situation and=20 promised to get him an acre of ground for his own cultivation.

Upon his return Connor's wife and him "played the old game as usual" they occasionally went out together to drink they most drank rum.Witness obtained a pass from his master to go to Parramatta to see a former acquaintance -=20 this was on a Saturday. Early on the same morning as he was preparing himself to start his mistress (Connor) came to him before master was up and said she would clean herself and then go along with him - it was proposed by his mistress (the prisoner) that she should meet him about 4 miles on the road leading from Windsor they met there between 7 and=20 8 o'clock in the morning and went on together towards "the Hills" - on their way they stopped at the house of one Parker a sawyer=20 but did not staybmany minutes - afterwards went to Doyle's public-house=20 in Windsor and drank 3 gills of rum between them. Witness requested Doyle not to mention to any person that they had been there. It was thought by them that Connor would be in Windsor that day and prisoner begged of Doyle to tell Connor if he shoul= d come that he (witness) must be then at Parramatta as he had left=20 there a long time before. Prisoner and witness left Doyle's house early in the afternoon and returned home together.=20 On their way thither about four miles from the farm they went off the high road into a thick scrub - they were=20 here a few minutes when Connor the prisoner's husband came and surprised=20 them in an unequivocal situation. He shook his head at witness and the prisoner and then walked away - there had been no=20 cries of murder nor any other noise of alarm made by the prisoner - they we= nt home together the spot where they had been surprised at was about 16 rod from the roadside. Connor was not seen by either witness of the woman until he came within a few yards of them - prisoner and witness walked away home - next morning prisoner appointed "Taylor's"=20 as a place of meeting the following Sunday - on that day they met there and were on the usual terms of familiarity together witness remained at Tay= lor's that night - he saw prisoner all night. Neither at this time nor upon any previous occasion had the prisoner charged him with committing acts of violence on her person. Witness was charged before the Magistrates at Windsor with violating the person of the prisoner in the beginning of September - the charge was not preferred against him for a month after that period although he was in the daily employment of Connor and lived on his premises in the interim. Witness knows that Connor and his wife had words on several occasions relative to=20 his having surprised them in the manner related.=20 Several witnesses were called to substantiate particulars connected with th= e foregoing statement.

Good Morning List, Most listers know that I have been gathering information for www.ryersonindex.org to index into the Death Index site and from time to time I come across news items that really should be shared and this is one of them. A Letter to the Editor published in they Sydney Morning Herald of 17 March, 1888, says THE WINDSOR SCHOOL OF ARTS. ------------------- TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEARLD. Sir, - As a tribute of the local School of Arts, i feel deeply grieved on learning that the Institution was made an arena for the sxhibition of puglists. Pugilism is certainly not an art contemplated to be cultivated in any Institution supported generally by the people, and subsidised by the Government, more particulary in as institute intended for the intellectural training of our young men. In the pugiliatie exhibitions whihc of late have disgraced the colony we soe the ineveitably result of that intemperate devotion to physical sports which is so characteristic of the day. The brutalisation of human nature is a thing not difficult of acomplishment, and looking at recent occurrences and the examples shown by men who ought to be patterns to society, I fear we are on the broad road to its accomplishment. As a co-trusteee with the Hon W Walker, I codially sympathise with him in the course which he has adopted in connection with the recent outrage. March 16. I am, &c. JOHN TEBBUTT In December 1888 there were Riots at Glebe and Newcastle reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, many months after this letter was published, and I am left to wonder was there unrest for a lengthy period beforehand.

Hi Listers/ Michelle I have an ancestor Catherine Connor but so far know little about her apart from her name and the fact that she was my Gr Gr Gr Grandmothers mother. She would probably have been at least 34-36 years old in 1826, I am not even aware that she came to Australia but it is possible. Is there any more information out there on Catherine Connor?

The perjury case was then tried at the Supreme Court.   "It appeared in evidence, that a man named  Connolly, was government servant to the husband of the prisoner, and that he (the husband), for a considerable time, suspected an improper intercourse between her and the man Connolly. On a particular day, however, Connolly obtained   from his master a pass to proceed to Parramatta, and shortly after his departure the prisoner also left her home, which circumstance arousing the suspicions of her husband, he proceeded after the parties, and detected them together in the bush, at some distance on the Windsor-road. The prisoner, on seeing her husband approach, in order to screen herself, raised an outcry that Connolly had forced her off the road, and had committed a rape on her person, and on this charge he was subsequently brought before the Bench at Windsor. The prisoner there swore positively that Connolly not only forced her against her will on the occasion, but also that she never, at any other time had met him by appointment, nor allowed him to take any liberties whatever with her. A number of witnesses, however, were examined, who positively swore to the most disgraceful scenes having taken place, for months before between the parties, in consequence of which the Magistrates thought proper to dismiss the charge against Connolly, and to indict the prisoner for perjury. The trial lasted for six hours, during which a series of appointments between the prisoner and Connolly were unequivocally established by several witnesses, a number of whom also deposed to having seen them in situations which left no doubt whatever of a criminal intercourse having subsisted tor a length of time previous to the investigation before the Magistrates."
