Does anyone know where this was in 1867? Northeast somewhere And I have done a Geoscience online check and it says O

Hi Denise, Les Blake doesn't have it listed either. Tried spelling variations Warawinga, Warrawonga etc but nothing. Suggest it's a property name? 'Pastoral Pioneers' by Billis & Kenyon has a Waranga or Waranga Park run near Rushworth. Can send further details if needed Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Denise <denisem@powerup.com.au> To: AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, 2 Jan 2006 09:32:09 +1000 Subject: [HC] Warrawinga Does anyone know where this was in 1867?

Hi Denise found a reference to Warrawinga its rather long- Kerry Edward William was the first known child of James PATTERSON and Charlotte RACE. He was born in New Brunswick in 1824. He was living with his family in Douglas, York County in 1850, and was listed on the census as age 26. On the 22nd October 1851, he married Martha GLENDENNING / GLENDINNING - "m. 22nd Oct., by Elder George Garraty, Edward W. PATTERSON, Douglas (York Co.) / Miss Martha GLENDENNING, Burton parish (Sunbury Co.)." (New Brunswick Reporter, 7 November 1851) Martha died 15 months later, probably as a result of giving birth to her first child, James William, who was born on the 22nd January 1853. On the 25th December 1855, Edward married again, to Phoebe Jane STAPLES. They were both recorded as being from Douglas. (Anglican Church Records, Reel C-8, Provincial Archives NB) Edward was schoolmaster at Douglas. In the New Brunswick census of 1861, Edward and Phoebe are listed as living in Douglas Parish, York County. Edward was described as aged 38, native, a farmer and religion as Methodist. Phoebe was listed as Phebia J, aged 23, religion as Free Baptist. They had had three children by this stage - James from Edward's first marriage, Martha Jane, and Henry Newton. One child, Charlotte Cecelia, who was born on the 22nd April 1857 at Douglas, had died by the time of the census. Also listed in their family group was Pheobe's father, Henry STAPLES, aged 63. Edward, Phoebe, James, Martha, Henry, and the newest addition to the family, Hulda Matilda, left New Brunswick for England, where they boarded the Royal Standard on the 24th November 1864 and sailed for Victoria, Australia. With them were Edward's sister Margaret, who had married George PATTERSON, Margaret's three children, and George's brother John PATTERSON. They arrived in Melbourne on the 19th February 1865, and then journeyed to the north-east of Victoria to Wangaratta. They perhaps met up with Margaret's husband George. There is no confirmed shipping record for George's arrival in Victoria, but there is a record for a George PATTERSON as a labourer, Murphy St. Wangaratta in the 1865 Butler & Brooke Ovens District Directory, and as a labourer of Templeton St. Wangaratta in 1866 . According to the Government Gazette of the 5th September 1865, "Edward W PATTERSON, resident of Laceby, selected 82 acres in Warrawinga." On the 17th November the Gazette reported "Lease executed and available for collection at Wangaratta Land Office: Edward W PATTERSON, 82 acres. 1 rood, 24 perches in the Agricultural District of Warrawinga, Parish of Laceby." It is not known what happened to this selection. In 1868, Edward and Phoebe had their first Australian born child, Albert. His birth was registered at Wangaratta. Edward is said to have taught school at Greta from 1871 to 1876-77. [Myrrhee School Centenary and Pioneer Families Reunion, 1885 - 1985] "A few years after the first settlers arrived [in the Greta area], they sought a way whereby they could have their growing families educated. Mr Alexander McKENZIE consented to the use of a building on his property as a school. Mr [Edward] Wm PATTERSON was engaged and conducted the school for some years. The building was also used as a Methodist meeting house. After a short period the people decided to build a church, and a brick building was erected (1878). It was then used as a school room. About this time the Government decided to casrry out a state system of education. A State school was built near the Methodist Church, and the first teaacher appointed by the department was Mr R C B McDONALD. Mr Wm PATTERSON was then engaged by the parents of South Hanson who erected a school-room from the bush timber at hand. Mr PATTERSON continued as ! teacher until the Education Dept built a school and appointed Mr BROOKES as teacher." [Ellis, 1972. A History of Greta] At Greta on the 20th February 1876, 7-8 years after the birth of Albert, Phoebe gave birth to another child, Edward William. Edward's occupation was recorded as Schoolmaster, his birth place as New Brunswick, British America, and his age as 52 years. In about 1880, Edward's eldest son James left his Myrrhee selection to go to New Zealand. Edward and his next eldest son, Henry Newton, took over the hard work of improving this selection and meeting the requirements of the lease. They were expecting James to return in about six months after he had earned enough money to buy a horse team and pay for improvements. James did send some money, but the last they ever heard from him was just before the wreck of the SS Tararua off the coast of New Zealand in April 1881. Edward believed his son may have perished in the shipwreck. He wrote the following letter to the Lands Department:- "Whitfield September 1st 1881. Sir, In answer to your letter of the 26th inst., I have the Honor to inform you that about 12 months since James W PATTERSON received a letter from a friend in New Zealand informing him that business was very prosperous there. Being anxious to raise a few pounds to buy a team he went there leaving me his father and Henry N PATTERSON his brother in occupation of the ground until his return which he expected to do in about six months. He sent us some money to help us in improving the ground. The last letter was received from him was a short time previous to the wreck of the Tarawra stating that he would be home in a short time and that he would be in a position to pay up the arrears and apply for his lease. Since the wreck of that vessel we have not heard from him. We are residing on the ground and with the assistance of the money he sent are improving the ground. We have now about 12 or 14 acres of grubbed and cleared, about 4 acres was grubbed ! and cleared before he left. We have built a house 18 ft by 27 ft have made a garden and set out a number of fruit trees. The ground is about one fourth fenced. If we do not hear from him in a short time will you be kind enough to inform us what will be the proper course for us to pursue. It would utterly ruin us if the ground is forfeited after we have done so much hard labour on it. I have the Honor to be Sir, Your most obedient Servant Edward W PATTERSON." [VPRS 626: Consignment P0000: Unit 616: File No. 17544/19.20] Even though Edward had communicated this with the Lands Department, James was called before a Local Land Board to show cause. On the 22nd March 1882 a Local Land Board held in Wangaratta , recommended that License be cancelled for non compliance with conditions and land be reopened for selection. On the 12th May 1882 Henry Newton PATTERSON applied for the License of James's forfeited selection, plus additional land running down to the Boggy Creek, a total of 129 acres. This was granted, so at least all Edward and Henry's hard work was not wasted. Edward and Phoebe must have continued living with Henry. During the 1901 bushfires, the following account of Henry's losses was reported in the Wangaratta Chronicle: "His father and mother who live in a small house on the property, are now also thrown upon him, for their little home went in the flames, and the father, Mr G [sic] PATTERSON, is a cripple. Mr PATTERSON, sen., met with an accident some months ago by which his leg was broken, and as he has since had to have the limb in splints, he had to be carried to his son's house in this helpless condition on Thursday afternoon." [Wangaratta Chronicle, February 13, 1901] Edward William PATTERSON died at Myrrhee on the 13th January 1902 at the age of 77. [Registration No. 2934] An inquiry held into his death found that he died from Diarrhorra or English Cholera. He was buried at the Greta Cemetery on the 14th January in the Primitive Methodist section, Grave No. A111. The celebrant was James Roulstone CURRIE. Edward's residence was recorded as Boggy Creek, and his occupation as Farmer. [Greta Cemetery Register] "IN MEMORIAM. PATTERSON - In loving memory of our dear father, Edward William PATTERSON, who died at Myrrhee on January 13th, 1902; aged 77years. Call not back the dear departed, Anchored safe where storms are o'er; On the borderland we left him, Soon to meet and part no more. Far bejond this world of changes, Far beyond this world of care, We shall find our missing loved one, In our Father's mansion fair. - Inserted by his sorrowing wife and family."
