A Harrop Family History There are plenty o' Harrops alive in England and many ancestors buried in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cheshire regions. That's within cooee of Manchester to those of you not looking at a map. Many places bear the Harrop name: Harrop Tarn is a lake near Thirlmere. Some hikers were recently rescued from the area. A school girl who thought she'd sprained her ankle, tried to ring for assistance using her mobile, then slipped and really hurt her ankle. There's Harropham and Harrop Edge, Harrop fold and Harrop Brook. Even a Harrop Street Mill. Sing along with me now... If you are on the Internet (www.google.com select 'Image' then search for Harrop) you can find pictures of Harrop Hall and Harrop Dale in Slaidburn England and even a Harrop restaurant somewhere in the world. There is a Harrop Green, Harrop Street and Harrop Edge in Manchester. In Victoria Australia, there is Harrop track in the Grampians, Harrop Flat on Lake Eildon, Harrop road in Woorinen and Harrop's Corner in St Kilda on the corner of Chapel Streets and Carlisle. So how did the surname Harrop come about? Who knows? Are we little bunnies with big feet? Harehope in Northumberland was Hare's Valley after all. Richard Hugh de Harrop 1185 is named on the great pipe roll 26 year of Henry 3rd. Does that 'de' mean we are French? Or did Richard just come from the Royal Forest of Bolland near downtown Clithero and chose to live on a big cattle farm in Harropwarde because it was easier to pronounce than Sclathournewarde (Slaidburn) Boxsholfwarde (Baskall) or Chepynwarde (Chipping) Whatever, he'd better remember to keep shutting that gate...don't want stray cows in Clithero. We can probably assume all spellings of Harrop, Harrup, Harrip, Harrap, Arrop, Hayrop and whatever variations you may come across, are actually all part of the same family group...just depended on the language skills of the census taker or record keeper. So ... if we could trace our ancestors back far enough ...would there be one ggggggggrandfather of us all? So far, several descendants around the world have been matched up to various trees...maybe it is a possible jigsaw task, just a very big one! I have now set up a Password Protected webpage as of 16 January 2009 especially for any Harrop cousins or researchers, If you would like to be put in touch with other Harrop relatives around the world, or if you would like your Harrop Family tree uploaded to the internet, via junirisland.net for a small administration fee please email me for details at thejuniris@hotmail.com But are we related to anyone rich and famous who will let us have their villa when they are sick of it? Well, apart from you and me there are some Famous & Infamous Harrops In the records of the Guild of the Holy Cross, John Harrop was an alderman, being listed as 'subballivus' on 24 June 1441. John and his wife Juliana held a barn in a burgage way back then. They have always been strong religious types, our Harrops. Joseph Harrop founded the newspaper, the Manchester Mercury in 1752. This Joseph was a printer, bookseller and publisher in Manchester, apparently renowned for stealing stories from other newspapers. At one stage, to promote his paper, he gave away free copies of a history book to increase subscriptions. The paper ceased publication in 1830, after being run since Joseph's death in 1804, by his son James. Both were Tory supporters who thought there was nothing wrong with Parliament and so it needed no reforming. He was credited with writing an article about the Peterloo massacre which appeared in the 17 August 1819 edition of the Manchester Mercury. This was alluded to, by a Samuel Bamford in his account of the Peterloo massacre, 16 Aug 1819, describing the mob as : "illiterate, dirty and mean, having chapped hands and greasy nightcaps." Samuel says it was "in one of Harrop's trashy journals." Richard Harrop of Chester was sentenced to 7 years transportation to Australia. A widow, Catherine Harrop born about 1790, who had incidently born three children with her husband's brother, Thomas Harrop was married by William Whitehead in 1827 after being transported to Tasmania. An Elizabeth Harrop also strutted her stuff after being transported to Tasmania. Thomas Prosser made an honest woman of Elizabeth in 1819. In Limestone, New South Wales during the summer of 1832, Alfred Harrop and a partner in crime William Viall went missing and did some breaking and entering which resulted in the death penalty. Alfred had probably been transported in 1830 on board the 'Royal Admiral,' a James Harrop having already made the trip in 1829 on the 'Morley' followed in 1836 by at least one John Harrop. There were at least two Harrop 'Pankhurst Boys' during 1842 - 1851 who were sent to West Australia. Now a gossip about Edmund Harrop the firebrand of 1792. "During a war with the French in Flanders, he was responsible for a law breaking act. He employed on his farm Irish farm labourers who had come up from Liverpool, no doubt to seek work on the farms where at least food could be had. Even on the farms, in winter months following a famine, food became very scarce. There was a grave shortage of bread for the poorer people in the town and people were starving. Edmund Harrop, with firearms, hijacked a horse drawn wagon on its way to York with a load of flour which was intended as food for the Army in Flanders. Using his old blunderbuss gun he stopped the wagon and seized the flour and distributed the load among the starving poor in the village. He was later arrested and was sentenced to six months in Lancaster Castle Jail. Old records tell us that Sarah, his wife, travelled by coach and by boat on the canal to meet him at the Castle on his release." Now that's more like it. A Rebel. With a Cause! A Mrs Harrop was a famous singer in the 1700s....mmmm Arts minded Varlow - also known as Vazlo - Harrop was charged in 1802 at Wirksworth, with riding a horse and cart without guide or reins, being asleep and refusing to give a name. Was fined 20 shillings plus costs, the Justice was a W. Bagshaw. Good, a rogue who was able to ride drunk. That's skill for you. In 1815, Peter Harrop was presented with an account for 19 Pounds, 12 Shillings, 21 Pennies and Tuppence, being for Stone dug from Sir R. Brooke's quarry at Norton. Apparently, Peter went back to work, as later in the year, Peter Harrop of Runcorn, presented Sir R. Brooke with another account for 3 Pounds, 18 Shillings and no Pence for 26 days stone getting. In the Midsummer of 1827, Constable James Harrop of Ashton under Lyne, was paid for his expenses of attending Salford court as a witness. What! The right side of the Law? Despite the excitement of living in England, our Harrop name has spread all over the world with many migrating to Australia, New Zealand and America. In 'our' line of Harrops, the eldest daughter Sarah Harrop married John Goodier, occupation Dyer, his father being Robert Goodier, occupation Carter. The witnesses to their marriage were Charles Jones and Sarah Jay. Sarah & John’s residence at the time of their marriage recorded as Millgate in Stockport near Manchester. Sarah & John Goodier were the first to be brave, sailing out with their two young sons in 1849 on the 'Ramillies' to South Australia. Something happened between 1851 and 1853 to prompt 'our' Harrop family of ten to pack up and sail the 18 weeks in 1853 on the 'Anna Paulowna.' We do know George Harrop senior leased land in Munno Para, South Australia just before Christmas in 1853 describing himself as a farmer of Gawler Plains, South Australia. A Memorial was received in the South Australian Land Lease / Registry Office in regards to this land, on 6 March 1854, apparently this date was the acceptance or official registration of the lease. George made his mark on 11 April 1865 surrendering the lease to his son in law John Goodier farmer of near Salisbury. George Harrop senior is listed in the SA Boothby Almanacs for 1865 and 1866 as a farmer of Munno Para. Also, George is mentioned in two obituaries as 'our parents' and 'my father and brothers' indicating he was in South Australia. However, we have been unable to locate a death certificate for old George Harrop in South Australia. Anyway, back to seasick sagas: The Jacobs family came on the 'Royal Charle' in 1854. The Penno, Bray and probably the Bowden families came out from Cornwall to mine the copper at Moonta and surrounding areas in 1859 aboard the 'Lady Ann.' The Gurney family also came out to the great sunny, brown land, from wet, green England on the 'Norman.' The Frape family also arrived in South Australia in 1853, arriving on the 'Magdelena' in the May. That's a lot of forehead mopping. We had trouble entertaining ours on the train. Imagine trying to keep track of several seafaring youngsters. Who are all these people I hear you ask? Well, I wanted to know too, so I started my research with a letter written by Hope May Wright, only child of Amelia Harrop who married a Mr Malcolm then second married a Mr Arthur Wills. Amelia was the oldest surviving daughter of William John Harrop and Jane Jacobs. William was one of five sons of George and Susannah Harrop. Hope May Wright worked as a missionary with the aborigines in New South Wales, and West Australia. Another strong religious type. She married a Mr Wright and would have been about 80 years old, when she typed the letter to a Harrop celebration of 'Aunty Bell's' golden year at Woorinen,Victoria probably in 1981. Uncle Jim Harrop, son of Hurtle, son of Thomas, gave us a copy in about 1985. First I raised our family of three, then in May 2004, I went cross eyed looking at older relative's research notes, books, microfiche and computer records to compile all this. Be not afraid. All will be drawn up on some kind of organised chart for you...later ...maybe : George Harrop born about 1797 in Manchester, England died about July 1865 South Australia, married about 1823 to Susannah Wilding. They were living in Crossley Street, Warrington, near St Elphin's church in the 1830s. George is listed as 45 years old in the 1841 census, fustian cutter with 7 children : Sarah 15, Ann 14, Mary 11, George 8, Thomas 5, William 3 & John 1 year old. They had shifted to Longworth St, Deansgate, Manchester. Other Harrop fustian cutters also lived in Deansgate. George may have been a beer seller for a period of time in Jerusalem Place, Deansgate. There is probably a watering hole there still, maybe under the name of 'The Late Room' or the 'Life Cafe'...go look and check the till records - carefully - for 1840... By the 1851 census 'our' Harrop family had shifted to Worsley Road, Barton on Irwell, a couple of doors from the 'Jolly Carter' Inn. George and anyone one old enough in the family were working as fustian cutters. We don't know what happened to Ann, maybe she married and came out to Australia as well, so YOU can find out what happened next in her life. George Harrop married about 1823 to Susannah / Sussanah Wilding born about 1802 Lancashire, England, died 23 Dec 1885 and spelling it til the day she died, Susannah is listed on microfische - Deaths for South Australia, 1842 - 1915 as Susannah Harross F 83yrs W George Harross (DH) 23 Dec 1885 Maitland (residence) Place of death Maitland Dist-Dal Book 151 Page 99 George and Susannah Harris? Howard? how do you spell that? Proud parents of Maybe Elizabeth, Ellen and Robert can't be sure as we have no details on them, but some descendants were named Ellen. Definitely proud parents of Sarah, Ann, Mary, George, William, Thomas, John, Edward, Susannah and Jane. They boarded the fancynamed - possibly even after a Russian princess queen type person - 'Anna Paulona'/ 'Anna Paulowna' in Liverpool 1852 to spend Xmas at sea, along with fellow passengers Richardson, Wood, Sinnett, Hammond x 2, Doyle x 2, Runaagh x 2, Macdonald, O’Neil, Mart, Mann, Neale x 3, Thornton, Lauchlan x 2, Shaw, Heoh x 2 and Memphis, along with a large cargo. Mary at age 23 would have been busy babysitting or at least trying to keep her eyes off the sailors, George at 18 may have been avoiding the attentions of female passengers, William 15, Thomas 14, and John 13 probably had the time of their lives with Edward 11 tagging along, Susannah 10 could have been bored to tears and Jane being 5 years old may have been the apple of everyone's eye, asking when will we be at sister Sarah's place? I miss my nephews. Let's have a good gossip about the 4 sisters first: 1. Sarah was born 8 Mar 1824 Manchester and must have eaten her silverbeet as she raised a good few children in her 88 years before dying on 20 July 1912 at Gawler South Australia and being buried in the West Terrace cemetery. Sarah chose John Goodier to share her life and they were wed in Stockport, England on the 21 Sep 1843. Their first two sons were born at Winton before they decided to come to South Australia, the first of our family on 25 March 1849. Sarah only had eight years as a merry widow, as her husband John made it to the 1900s as well. Their eldest son, Robert must have eaten his green stuff as well, as he had 88 good years, marrying Mary Wright, then when she died in 1918 he second married, just for company of course, to lovely Mary Findlay, before being buried at Burton SA. He was dead by then. Using most of the names in the Harrop catalogue, Robert named his children John, Sarah, George, Thomas, Susannah, Robert, Alice, Ernest and twins Ethel and Florence and all except George and Ethel made it to adulthood. His brother William had 82 happy years, possibly because he was a brewer. He married miss Elizabeth Jones and had Marian, William and Annie before retiring to the SA Cheltenham cemetery. Sarah the first little Goodier to be born on Australian soil arrived in time for Xmas on 21 Dec 1849 at Little Para. Sarah had many combined birthdayxmas parties before marrying Frederick Gray. They had Frederick, Alfred and Edward before Sarah at 63 called it a day. Baby Thomas Goodier was born on the Gawler Plains and died Xmas day 1852 a bit over a year later, at Munno Plains. Little Ellen was born 1854 at Munno Para Plains, but died before starting school in 1859 at Gawler Plains primary. Then adventuresome John born 1855 was accidentally burned to death in 1860. Back to good luck with Thomas Charles Goodier born 1858 Gawler because he didn't die for 85 years, first marrying Edna Parr on Xmas day 1877 and having Ellen, Edith and Olive Goodier. His sister Ellen Goodier was born the summer of 1861 and married Frederick Raymond in the spring of 1882. They produced children with very modern names : Irvine, Winifred and Doris Raymond. 2. Mary was born about 1830, Manchester and not sure when she died but know for sure that she is dead. A tragic romantic, Mary married Charles Kentish on 10 Aug 1853 SA 'In the presence of' John & Sarah Goodier. Their marriage certificate is all in the handwriting of the Registrar / Clergyman ?J C Bagshaw. Mary gave birth to Charles' daughter, Emma Kentish, on the 12 May 1854, seven months after poor Charles was killed in a dray accident. Blissfully unaware, baby Emma thrived and grew up to marry at All Saints Church, Moonta to Albert Short. They had Emily, Ettie, Charles, Ernest and Stanley, all Shorts. Mary was rescued from grief by second marrying James Harper a butcher, in the Christ Church, Adelaide on 24 Sep 1856. Again, the certificate is all in the handwriting of officialdom ?W J Woocock - with 'his x mark' and 'her x mark' a clue to illiteracy. The ceremony was 'In the presence of' William Harper farmer of Salisbury and Sarah Goodier of Munno Para'. Little 2 year old Emma was probably flower girl sneezing all over her bakset of spring blooms. Mary then didn't have time to think, bearing at least 7 more Harper children : Ann m Fred Cottrell, William, Thomas died as infant, Thomas, James m Beatrice Wood, Arthur m Edith Jarrett and winning the unusual, noice and different competition named their children Lendon, Una and Rollo, Susannah and Evelyn Harper. There are other Harper babies listed as born and died at Gawler Plains, Streaky Bay, Crossroads and Burton. May be cousins? 3. Susannah Harrop, a lovely English gal aged 27 and in danger of wearing the spinster shroud, signed her name Susanna when she married sweet young Samuel Holman on Xmas day in 1871 at the Kadina home of Mrs Susannah Harrop. Trust old George to up and die somewhere along the line and leave ma Susannah making the sandwiches. No way you can keep cucumber sandwiches looking nice in the SA heat. Must have suited her daughter as Susannah Holman lived for 83 years. However, not total luck in the baby making department. Sarah Holman died forever 4 years old. Annie Holman wore the spinster shawl happily for 63 years. There must have been something in the water at Boors Plains as her sister, 15 months younger, Susannah Holman, lived 81 years as a spinster, as well. Mary Holman only made it to her 2nd birthday, Thomas only blew out one candle. In 1885, little toddler Arthur joined them. Samuel Holman survived and married Elizabeth Florence Elsworthy, lived at Paskeville, Moonta Mines and buried at Greens Plains cemetery. Their children were Reta Frances Holman and Jack Clayton Holman. Charles Holman had a lovely life at East Adelaide with his wife Charlotte Anne nee Holden. Their children Wilbur, Mervin and Merle Holman were born at Kadina and Evandale. Dorcas Holman married William James White and lived at Kadina / Wallaroo with their children : Sylvester, Lionel, Esma and Alda White. Baby Ethel Olive Holman, born when mum was 42, died at Greens Plains East. 4. Jane, the youngest daughter of George and Susannah Harrop had a difficult time of baby raising. Married at 19 years to Richard Langdon aged 23, son of Arthur Langdon, at the Kadina home of Mrs Susannah Harrop, Jane and Richard spent most of the 1870s burying babies. Jane was pregnant within 2 months of marriage with her first child. She gave birth to little Richard in July 1869, named in honor of his dad About 16 months later, Jane was pregnant with her first Arthur and little Richard had a baby brother for his 2nd birthday in July 1871. Running around after 2 under 2 probably left her exhausted and definitely pregnant again with number 3, by May 1872, when baby Arthur was barely crawling. Arthur had learned to take his first steps, before dying. The new baby was born and also named Arthur. Then, to make the months of February and March 1873 memorably tragic, baby Arthur also died. In late autumn, 4 months later, fertile Jane was pregnant with a healthy Susannah, who was born a little over a year since the two Arthur burials. Fortunately, Susannah survived to straddle Jane's hip while boiling nappies in the copper. Richard was capable of fetching pegs, collecting clean hankies and pairing up socks, just as all 3 year old helpers excel at doing such things by themselves. Jane was pregnant again just after Susannah's first birthday. On 11Jan 1876, that little baby was born and died within the hour. Maybe it was a premature birth, maybe a breathing problem, a blood clotting inability or some other incurable congenital error of chance. Little Susannah was none the wiser, not being 2 years of age. After a childhood spent minding his little sister Susannah, Richard was entranced by his little sister's adoration, any two and a half year old is almost fun to play with! Maybe he was wise enough to recognise the signs that another one was on the way. Perhaps he had already explained why Susannah couldn't sleep in the cot any more. Sadly, little Richard died aged 7 on 13 Nov 1876. Poorly baby Richard was born 3 months after little Richard's funeral, another of Jane and Richard Langdon's babies to only live one hour. Susannah, waiting for her 3rd birthday, bewildered by her mother's tears, may have wished for a sister, because her brothers always died on her. Somehow, a wish was granted, with a healthy, surviving Mary Langdon born 17 May 1878, having been conceived the spring before. Mary was 2 and a half before healthy baby brother Richard joined the 2 surviving sisters, delighted to have a real dolly in the perambulator! With renewed confidence, Jane 'fell in' again, a month after Richard's first birthday. Baby Ellen, born in August, died 6 months later in Feb 1883. Jane's body ignored grief, promptly ovulated and conceived another Arthur. This toddler Arthur was adored by school girls Susannah, now 10 years old and Mary aged 6 and especially close to Richard aged 4, but this little Arthur also died in Feb 1885. Jane was already over morning sickness and pregnant with a hale and healthy Henry, when once again visiting the cemetery for toddler Arthur's burial, the third Arthur Langdon to be interred. Healthy Henry Vivian Langdon was born early Aug 1885 and promptly 2 years later was joined by bouncing brother George joining the family in July 1887. The candles were hardly back in the scrap drawer from George's first birthday cake, before little Albert was conceived. Albert was born April 1889 but died aged 10 months in November. Perhaps Jane was unable to breastfeed frequently or had missed a few night feeds, because ovulation occurred and Jane was pregnant for 9 out of Albert's 10 months with his family. Charles was born 2 days after Albert died, maybe an early labor brought on by the grief of another baby burial. Sadly little Charles died 3 months later in January 1891. After a 2 and a half year break since her last delivery, 43 year old Jane Langdon finally pushed out her surviving Arthur, on May 13 1893. Perhaps having 19 year old Susannah for reassurance, Mary aged 15 to fetch and carry and Henry aged 8, to keep 6 year old George occupied, all helped. Perhaps Susannah and Mary were already working elsewhere and dad Richard did what all dad's do so well. Put the boys in the buggy and dropped them off at school! After 24 years of childbearing, Jane's overworked reproductive system did not seem to create long term health problems for her and she died 7 years after her husband, 'quiet and unassuming' aged 79 years. Her daughter, Susannah married John Johns. Mary married miner, Labor party supporter, cricketer and footballer, Arthur Dodd, who unfortunately died suddenly of bronchial pneumonia leaving her with 3 little Dodds. Richard Langdon, born 1880 married Ethel Johns. Henry Vivian Langdon married Eva Huxtable at Wallaroo mines. George Langdon married Olive Annear in 1911. Arthur Langdon m Ethel Thompson.   NOW 'OUR' FIVE BROTHERS HARROP (1) George born 1835 in rainy old England married late sunny autumn 1861 in South Australia to young Ellen Duchess Harper, a dressmaker. The ceremony at the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Salisbury was performed 'In the presence of' Robert Goodier labourer of Salisbury and Susannah Harrop, servant of Salisbury. The certificate is mostly in the handwriting of the Officiating Minister Joseph ?Warner. George and his new bride have proudly signed their names, Ellen spelling her middle name Duchafs, the Minister recording it as Elenor Dutchess. Ellen, born 1842, unfortunately died at Kadina the next year with her middle name recorded as Aduchess, from consumption / ?seizure of the heart. George was able to recover from his grief and second marry 3 years later 'In the house of Mrs Harrop Snr Kadina' with all breathing a sigh of relief, George pushing 30 by then, occupation labourer. Harriet Yalding Frape aged 20 made her mark as she saw him as a good catch and they both lived to a ripe old age. George celebrated his 90th and Harriet was alive for 88 years. The Frape family also arrived in South Australia in 1853, arriving on the 'Magdelena' in the May. George and Harriet lived at Greens Plains and sadly buried three children there. Their first born, Edward Harrop arrived in 1868 at Kadina, but died aged 7 years. George born 1870 Greens Plains enjoyed good health and some of the 1950s, living 82 years. James born 1872 Greens Plains died there 2 years later. Henry born 1874 Greens Plains died aged 8 months. The next Henry 'Harry' Harrop was born in 1876 at Kadina and lived for 70 years. The remainder of George and Harriet's babies survived to live long lives. Harrieta born 1878 Greens Plains East lived 78 years. Florence born 1881 Greens Plains East died aged 89 years. Eveline born 1883 Greens Plains East died aged 77 and James born 1884 Greens Plains East died aged 85 years. George's occupations varied. As a teenager in Deansgate, Manchester he worked manufacturing fustian or velvet. He was farming at Salisbury South Australia for 3 years, a Bullocky carrying loads from Adelaide to the Burra, Carted wood for Wallaroo mines and was Dam Sinking at Crystal Brook for two years. He also attempted to take his bullocks to the Snowy River gold diggings but that ended in a long walk and boat trip home. He eventually had 600 acres at Greens Plains and was elected a Member of the District Council for two years before retiring in 1905 to live at Kadina. 'Being of cheerful disposition, he enjoyed many years of retired life, even with his failing eyesight, he had a number of old friends, who like himself, had previously borne the burden of heat of the day.' On his death, he had 22 grandchildren. Messrs George and James of Paskeville, Harry of Adelaide, Mesdames (Henrietta) Tully, Adelaide (Florence) Lamming, Paskeville and (Eveline) James, Kadina. (2) William John Harrop born 1838 Jerusalem Place Deansgate, Manchester lived for 68 years, working hard and fathering 15 children and raising 8 of them, eventually dying at Hopetoun Victoria in 1906. Aged 25, a laborer, William married 18 year old Jane Jacobs on 24 Jul 1865, both signing their names 'In the house of Mrs Harrop Snr Kadina' with William Wilson the Officiating Minister. and 'In the presence of Benjamin Jacobs, tailor of Kadina and Jane Harrop of Kadina' Young Jane was 'born of Christian Jewish parents in a good position,' being the daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Jacobs and was prolifically pregnant. Unfortunately, Jane wore out and died Hopetoun 1901 aged 53 years when her youngest, Percival was 13 years old. William & Jane Harrop parents of : Elizabeth born 1866 Kadina and died before she crawled. William born 1867 also died aged 5 months. William Joshua Harrop born 1868 Kadina and despite his knickname of 'Piggy' lived til 1936 aged 68 years. Arthur Harrop born 1870 Bald Hills enjoyed the longest lifespan of 85 years. Elizabeth born 1872 died a few days later. Amelia Harrop born 22 Aug 1873 survived to marry twice. Benjamin born 1875 died aged 2 years. Charles Harrop born 8 Feb 1877 died accidentally aged 62 years Ernest born 1878 died aged 2 years and Frederick born 1879 died as a toddler Christopher Harrop born 1881 lived 84 years Eunice Harrop born 9 March 1883 died aged 55 years Silas Harrop born 21 Oct 1884 died after making it through most of the 1960s, aged 84 Ernest born1886 died just after his first birthday Percival Harrop born 1888 died aged 77 years (3) Thomas born abt 1838 Manchester, may have liked to smoke a corncob pipe and died 21 May 1900 Nyah aged 60 yrs, buried Swan Hill, Victoria. A teenager when he travelled aboard the 'Anna Paulowna' with the rest of the family, Thomas worked as a laborer, miner, farmer and perhaps a carrier, owning 2 homes in Christie Street Kadina, by 1880, living in one and renting the other. Thomas aged 29 years, laborer married 13 Apr 1867 'at the Residence of Mr George Harrop' Kadina 'In the presence of William Harrop, laborer of Kadina' to a 20 year old young widow, with an infant son. Fanny Bray Bowden nee Penno was born 1847 at Lanlivery or Clovelly in Cornwall. Fanny first married in the 'Dwelling House' of her father Henry Penno of Korringa. Fanny was aged 18 and her husband John Bowden aged 23 both signed their names. John's occupation is unclear but may be teamster. When their son, also named John Bowden - after his father and grandfather - was born 10 Apr 1865, daddy's occupation is listed as Laborer with the little family living at Wallaroo, SA. Sadly daddy John Bowden aged 24 years, a laborer, died on 8 May 1865 at Kooringa / Korringa from ?Cranial Disease. When her second husband Thomas Harrop died aged 60 - 'a man who was always kind to her' according to grandaughter Elma Ramsey - Fanny Harrop managed the farm at Nyah West with the assistance of the two youngest sons and died aged 76 in 1924. Fanny came from a large Cornish family, detailed by Graeme Legg on his web page. The children of Tom and Fanny Harrop were born over 20 years in South Australia and were raised on properties from Greens Plains and Kadina to the property, 'further east' from the Hopetoun farm of William John Harrop possibly Yellangip, Victoria then Vinifera, maybe Bulga, then Nyah West, Victoria. Don't know what possessed them to shift to Victoria in 1890. Their mother, Susannah had died 5 years before, in 1885. Maybe it was the Free Land for 5 years ... as long as it was cleared of various mallee roots! There was nothing negative about Kadina. Church life was strong, morals high, schooling good and crime and drunkenness was low. John and George Harrop decided to stay in SA along with the sisters Sarah, Mary, Susannah and Jane. John Bowden born 1865, came back to Kadina and died aged 72 years in 1937. John Bowden went to Victoria with his wife Hannah McKay and the rest of the Harrop family in 1890. Their children were born at Warracknabeal and Tyntynder, all living 70+ years. Annie born 1891 married Eylward, Fanny Linda Olive Bowden b 1893 married Bourke, Thomas John Bowden b1895 maybe known as Jack, Bertie Bowden b1897 Tyntynder d 1978, Jessie Pearl Bowden b1900 married Treager, Emily Margaret May Bowden b 1903 married Robertson, Laura Bernice Ilean Bowden b1911 married Scroop then Jolly. Emma Harrop born 1868 Kadina, died 4 years after her mother Fanny, in 1928 aged 60. Already married to Walter John Ramsey, son of Joseph Ramsey and Eliza Stevens, Emma stayed in SA when others went to Victoria in 1890.There is a 4 generations photo of Fanny, Emma, Lily and Max Price c 1922. Thomas born 1870 Greens Plains SA died aged 85 at Nyah on 30 Dec 1955, was married 1901 to Eva May Ward. They raised 3 : Gladys Olive May Harrop who married 'Bill' Loughhead; Gordon Thomas Irvine Harrop who married 'Addie' Selby and Elwyn Doris Harrop who married 'Ernie' Jenks. Lavinia Hannah Harrop born 1873 Greens Plains, died 1943 and rests in the same grave as her adult daughter. Lavinia aged 17, maybe swept up in the rush to get affairs sorted before 3 of the Harrop brothers moved to Victoria, was married in Feb 1890.

It is connected to the sea by the 36 mile Manchester Shipping Canal, completed in 1894. The city lost many buildings during World War Two. The Cathedral, with notable woodwork and tower, survived the bombing with minimal damage to the Lady Chapel and one of the organs. Also surviving is the 15th century Chethams Hospital, with its claimed first Public Library in Europe, home to many manuscripts of great historical value and millions of books. A statue of Mr Gladstone is in Albert Square, behind the Albert Memorial...mmm time to revisit the English history books...wish I'd paid more attention in school. Since the war years, Manchester has grown and thrived with many shopping arcades, theatres, international sports stadium and modern airport with overseas visitors pouring in for sporting events. The two giant football clubs with world class players have fans in every nation...mmm am I supposed to cheer for Beckham... To - Yorke Peninsula, South Australia Moonta Population 2,500 There were copper mines at Wallaroo, when copper was also discovered some 20 ks away at Moonta, apparently by a shepherd scratching around a wombat burrow...as you do. That cheeky wombat had been snuggling on a fortune and Moonta quickly grew. Over 63 years, more than 6 million tonnes of ore were dug up...and that's one heck of a wombat burrow in anyone's language. Today, Moonta is a monument to the mining age, the streets look just as they did 100 years ago. The Uniting church is a fine example of colonial architecture. Restored miners cottages at the Moonta Mines Museum recreate the life of our Cornish miner ancestors. The main street of Moonta is George street, but unfortunately not named for our George Harrop, but the surveyor, George Goyder. Mining was recommenced 60 years after closure and there may still be copper mining at the Poona mine, depending on the price of copper, I guess. Kadina, Yorke Peninsula There must be lots of lizards around the Yorke Peninsula, because the aboriginal word 'kadiyinya' means lizard plain. Either that or 'grab him before he runs up your leg.' With a population now of 3,500, Kadina is the big smoke of the Yorke peninsula. Rich deposits of copper were discovered in 1859 and a thriving mining industry soon developed until 1923 when agriculture became more important with the closure of the mines. The influence of our Cornish miners architecture can be seen throughout Kadina. The Wombat Hotel, the Royal Exchange Hotel and the Catholic church are all noteworthy buildings although only two of them serve beer. The oldest cottage at 63 Taylor Street has a Parapet built to prevent snow from building up on the skillion roof. What an incredible lot of adjustments to life in hot SA, Fanny Bray Penno and her relatives had to make! Bet the boys spent a lot of time chasing and taming lizards, that and running billygoat n cart races. AND NOW WHAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR ...

Hope died in 1975. "Happy birthday dear Aunt Bell with congratulations on passing the golden milestone of your life, thus becoming the Harrop veteran as well as the Woorinen Grandma. Greetings to all my relatives and friends who will be gathered together on this auspicious occasion. How I would like to be there in person, but this did not seem possible, so I decided to forward my contribution in this way endeavouring to relate as much information as I can regarding the history of the Harrop family. I have been unable to asertain where our grandparents William John Harrop and Jane Jacobs were married. The two families came from England about the year 1865. There were four brothers : < We now know there were at least 5 brothers, George, William, Thomas, John and Edward and at least 4 sisters. > ...so back to Hope May Wright’s story... William John Harrop, Edward (known as Ted) Harrop Thomas Harrop (Tom) and Jack Harrop (The name Jack had been changed to George by someone later) the latter I think had another name, but to us he was known as Uncle Jack (John) William John, our Grandfather, became a pioneer farmer at Bald Hills in South Australia a farming area out from Moonta. The family of 15 seem to have all been born at Moonta, seven of them died in infancy or childhood. Sometime during the late 1880’s or early 1890’s, three of the brothers travelled overland with their families per horse and bullock drawn vehicles and settled at Wilnabrina, (Willenabrina) not far from Warracknabeal in Victoria. They seemed to have lived near each other, probably on a lease or share farming arrangement. I knew they were very closely knit as a family unit and generally attached to each other. Uncle Jack remained in South Australia but visited us from time to time. Now land became available for selection, nine miles from Hopetoun and also further East. Grandfather and Uncle Ted applied for farms adjacent to each other. Uncle Tom looked further East. Grandfather’s eldest son, Will, chose land at Tarranyurk, married and settled there. This must have been in the late 1880’s. Grandfather showed the wisdom of his selection in the natural pine forest which grew there. He was a man small in stature, but very courageous and versatile. He knew those pine forests laid the potential requirements for the building of a home for his family and the required sheds. Those straight tall pine trunks were the nucleus for his ambition of a six room house. Assisted by his sons, pine trunks of a uniform size were selected, cut down with axes, barked and carted to the chosed site for the home. A trench was digged for the wall plan where the pine trunks were placed upright and side by side. Wire netting was then placed over the walls. Stones and sand was gathered from the property. A kiln was built, the stones thrown into this, where lime was kilned, then with the sand, turned into plaster for the walls inside and outside. These were then white washed. Iron for roof, windows etc were carted by horses and waggon from Hopetoun. All other timber required came off the property. Sheds, boys room, stable etc. were all built on the same principal. Oblong underground tanks were digged out of the ground and lined with split logs, then a roof built over them of timber, bark and bush to prevent evaporation. Dams were also made with roofs to cover them. Just out from the back door of the kitchen was the Dairy. A sunken room in the ground with a hip roof of timber and clay which came out of the hole piled over the top, this became very firm keeping the dairy always cool. Several steps were made down to the dairy, shelves were built on which were placed pans of milk, cream, butter and eggs. Fresh and pickled meats. Hams and bacon hung along the rail near the roof. The farm produced wheat, oats, cows, pigs, fowls, vegetables and of course horses. All meat was prepared on the farm oven to Ham and Bacon. Grandfather had a pit in which he smoked these. Most of our food was grown on the farm. When the last load of what was taken to town each year supplies of flour, sugar, tea, treacle and golden syrup would be brought back for the making of bread, cakes etc. When his own house was set in order, Grandfather’s thoughts turned to a place of worship. A spot was selected in a central place (about three to four miles from our farm) which would prove convenient to other pioneers. There a little chapel was erected on the same principal as his home. This place was called Chipric and folk arrived from North, South, East and West in horse drawn vehicles or on horse back for each Service. Band of Hope meetings, Picnics and Concerts - this became a veritable Bathel in the wilderness. It was in this little Chapel erected by Grandfather and his helpers that God first spoke to me regarding “service for Him.” About a mile and a half in another direction from Grandfather’s property which was named “Hope Farm,” land was taken up by Mr & Mrs Smith with quite a large family, mostly adults. It was decided to erect a building to serve as a school and hall. This was done in the same manner as the farm house and Chipric Chapel. Miss Grace Smith taught in a private capacity, later the Education Dept. supplied a teacher on a half time basis with another district. The Smith family were Church of Christ and commenced holding meetings in their home. These were attended by some of the Harrop brothers. A minister by the name of Bro Clydesdale came from Boulah or Warracknabeal occasionally, as the speaker. Uncles Charles and Chris (I’m not sure about Silas) decided for Baptism. As there was no Baptistry they made one, by digging a hole, in the ground and carted water for it. Bro Clydesdale baptised them in this improvised Baptistry. In January 1917 at the conclusion of my probation as a Missionary Candidate I was to be inducted as a fully accredited Missionary and I was given the choice of where this service was to be held and the Minister to give the Induction Charge. I knew there was a Mr Clydesdale at a Church in NSW and contacted him to inquire if he was the one who visited us at Hope Farm. Imagine my delight to find he was the man and the only Minister in that State whom I had previously met. He was delighted to accept my invitation to deliver my Induction Charge which was held in the Petersham Church of Christ. During his address he spoke most enthusiastically regarding his visits to Maidvale and related the story of the Baptism of the “Harrop Brothers” in the improvised Baptistry they prepared with their own hands for the occasion. This to me proved a wonderful Inspiration and was valuable as a lesson as I was being sent forth to a distant and difficult appointment in that - where there is a willing heart or a “will” to get things done, “there is a way.” Dear little Grandma. I remember her as a very sweet gentle lady-like person, born of Christian Jewish Parents in a good position. She had not known what it was like to work, darn a pair of stockings or want for anything until she was 21 years of age, then she became the brave and faithful wife of a pioneer in a new land. In 22 years she brought 15 children into the world, rearing only eight of them. I cannot remember her voice being raised in anger or complaint. I learnt to say my prayers at her knees and she always called me “Little May.” I sat between she and Grandpa as they drove to Chipric Church for Service and Sunday School, can recall my concern when a whirl wind caught the Sunday School tickets and whisked them off Grandma’s knees. One day I was called to Grandma’s bedroom where I found her sitting on the bed with a dish of water on the floor. She asked me if I would wash her feet as she was not well and had to go to the doctor. I washed those dear feet wiped and placed them on the bed. She was driven 9 miles in a buggy to see the Doctor, then was sent home with a bottle of medicine. A few days later the patient gentle little Mother and Grandma passed away. The struggle had been too great for the frail little pioneer Mother and she died August the 22nd 1901. Her memorial card says she was 55 but my Mother said this is a mistake and should read 57. Grandfather’s eyesight began to fail, also his health and I gradually found myself becoming something like the Guide Dog of today is to the blind. As soon as I was able to read he would take the “Book” as he called the “Bible” off the mantle shelf each evening after tea and I had to read a chapter which he explained to me. Should the family go out for the evening I had to take care of him. Where he would go I must go with him. He told me most interesting stories of his early life, of his parents and work in England which I have many times wished I had recorded and asked for information which I would now greatly value. My mother needed much attention for her eyes and often had to be in Melbourne. In her absence Aunt Eunice kept house. The farm was not prosperous and some of the boys moved off to seek employment returning at busy times to help with the harvest or seeding. Aunt Eunice also moved off to Mildura when she could be spared. Finally Grandfather became so ill my Mother constantly attended him. He had a long and painful illness, but never complained. Was often heard quietly singing Hymns, liked us to read to him and relate the happenings of the day. One day he called me to his bedside and told me he was soon going to live with Jesus and asked me to promise him that I would be a good girl and meet Him in Heaven. I gave him this promise which was sealed with a kiss. Not many days later I was hurriedly sent to his sons who were harvesting in a distant field bidding them to come quickly. They all gathered around his bed, also my Mother and I heard him call out - “Lift me up and help me to go home” Then all was quiet. No one doubted that Grandfather had gone to meet the Lord and the loved ones who had gone before on that hot summer afternoon, February 9th 1906, aged 68 years. I can honestly say that the promise made to Grandfather and his teaching has been a Guiding Star in my life and I thank God for every rememberance of my dear Grandparents - William and Jane Harrop. Changes which affected all our lives took place after Grandfather’s death. Uncles Arthur and Percy were to carry on the farm, the others returned to Mildura to places of employment. Uncle Arthur married Maud Kensley from Irymple. Aunt Eunice married William Morphett of Mildura. My Mother returned to Melbourne for treatment of her eyes. Farming conditions did not improve. Sheep were introduced as an attempt to balance the budget. This seemed successful for a while. Uncle Jack came to live with us. He and I were joint shepherds of the flock and we spent many happy times together. I missed Grandfather very much. Uncle Jack was a lonely man and we “the old and the young” found we had much in common. One day Uncle Jack became suddenly very ill and passed away. He was laid to rest in the Hopetoun cemetry where our Grandparents were buried. Drought conditions came upon us, sheep and lambs died, crops failed, water was scarce and no feed for the sheep. Hope Farm was disposed of and a smaller one acquired. Drought conditions worsened until finally the Harrop family moved from the district seeking pastures new. Land was selected at Nyah, Woorinen etc in the fruit growing industry. I went to Mildura and was baptised in the Mildura Church of Christ in June 1913 and received into Membership. In May 1916, I left for the Mission field in New South Wales among the Aborigines. The rest of the Harrop story you will know better than I do. In closing, I wish to pay my tribute to all my dear Uncles of the Harrop family also Aunt Eunice. I loved them all as Brothers and Sister. I greet the wife and family of each one, sending to you my love and Prayer that as you gather together your fellowship will be wonderful. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up the light of His countenance upon you and give you the Peace and Joy that passeth all understanding. Goodbye for now, Your loving Niece and Cousin Hope May Wright Only child of Amelia the eldest daughter of the Harrop family."

"Elma was named for Grandma Algie. She was the ‘apple of her father’s eye’ until her little sister, Phylis was born 9 years after the youngest. Fanny didn’t like Elma much because she thought she was spoilt. Fanny had dark hair, but not black. She kept it long. She was a very thin lady. Very strong willed. She had to go to Swan Hill for an eye operation to remove a growth, or something, so she only had one eye for her last 10 years or so. Fanny died the spring of 1924. She had been up and down for a few weeks. We went over one Sunday to visit and Mum stayed on. We went back home to milk and because my brother was at home. Fanny only lasted a week after that. I was staying at aunty Elsie’s. We children were across the road peeping through the windows, the day she died and saw them go out to the shed to fetch a door to lay her out on. She was buried and a fortnight later there was a memorial service held for her. The Pearses used to come in their 4 seater buggy to visit, then stay overnight and go to Swan Hill the next day for their shopping. Fanny didn’t speak with any accent at all. She had strong ideas. Myers would come to Swan Hill and they had gossamer - green, red and purple and I decided I wanted the purple one. Gossamer was a large piece of georgette to put around your hat. Mum thought I didn’t need it and bought me a strand of beads. I told Dad all about them and he bought it for me. Fanny said ‘you need your bottom smacked!’ Cyril Algie would tease aunty Alice that he looked like Hurtle. Alice used to like a lot of fun. Hurtle was a quiet man. He used to live with Grandma and we were all quite surprised to tell the truth when he up and married. When they retired they came into Swan Hill. Daisy (Elma’s mum) said Fanny did a lot of sewing for them when they were young. Fanny made Daisy’s satin wedding dress all by hand. Daisy was married well before they went to Nyah. Daisy said they had to keep an eye on the water at Hopetoun as there was no river like at Nyah. Aunty Violet didn’t do the milking. She wasn’t a strong person. She was stout, not thin but she got headaches. She made her own green tomato jam which we used to have with scones and scalded cream. Aunty Violet had big pans and she would scald the milk and put it in the cellar then skim off the cream. She would keep some for their own use and make butter. Her husband, Uncle Will Pearse was very religious and had to go away for a few days, so I was asked to stay as I could drive a car and could deliver the cream. They didn’t have a shed / yard, just milked the cows out in the open and a thunderstorm blew up. Aunty Violet was calling for us to come in, but Alice said we may as well just keep on milking and we got very wet. We had a car before the Pearses and I learned to drive even before I could get my license, because I was Dad’s right hand girl. We didn’t have a fridge way back when I was young. We had kerosene tins to salt the meat down in. We killed our pigs and salted our own bacon."

This copy given to us in 1980 by 'our' uncle Jim Harrop. "The Oldham churchyard record shows Ann Harrop and other Harrops buried in the 1500’s. This and other records show that the Harrop family lived and farmed and survived for hundreds of years on the moors outside Oldham. The name is derived from HAR which meant war and HOPE, a place. Harrop is a shortening of HURHOPE. There are other spellings of the name, which no doubt sprang from an original common meaning. There are HURRAPS, HARRUPS, ARRAP - which may well have been misspelling in those unlettered days. Words misspelt by marriage registers or solicitors on death and then accepted by those of the younger family, would lose the original meaning of the name. The Harrops were for hundreds of years, famers at Barrowshaw Farm, which is about 2 miles out of Oldham on the Ripponden Road. The present address is - The Cottage, “Barrowshaw Farm,” Ripponden Road, Oldham, England. The name “Barrow Shaw” means a place of barrows, or a place of graves of ancient warriors. Some hundreds of years ago no doubt a great war took place at this farm and many dead warriors were buried in the mounds on the farm. While draining the farm in the early 1800’s they used to unearth ovens. The bones in the ovens were the incinerated remains of the former warriors. The present owners of “Barrowshaw Farm” are the Lees, who are descendants of Sarah Harrop and Samuel Lees. The farm passed to them, no doubt by the fact that it could only carry a restricted number and by some quirk of fortune which encouraged the then younger Harrop men to emigrate to Australia in the early 1850’s and 1860’s. The Harrops had been in possession of the farm for at least 300 years previously. The legend and by relics left behind, was the belief that a troop of Oliver Cromwell’s soldiers commandeered the farm as a barracks during the civil war. The first written record of a Harrop was in the old family bible, which states “Sarah Harrop, born 1747, who married Edmund Harrop.” This Edmund Harrop made history in his time, as he was a firebrand and took the law into his own hands. In the year 1792, during a war with the French in Flanders, he was responsible for a law breaking act. He employed on his farm Irish farm labourers who had come up from Liverpool, no doubt to seek work on the farms where at least food could be had. Even on the farms, in winter months following a famine, food became very scarce. There was a grave shortage of bread for the poorer people in the town and people were starving. Edmund Harrop, with firearms, hijacked a horse drawn wagon on its way to York with a load of flour which was intended as food for the Army in Flanders. Using his old blunderbuss gun he stopped the wagon and seized the flour and distributed the load among the starving poor in the village. He was later arrested and was sentenced to six months in Lancaster Castle Jail. Old records tell us that Sarah, his wife, travelled by coach and by boat on the canal to meet him at the Castle on his release. During the French Revolution the turmoil of revolt and change reached over to England. A political group wished to depose the reigning Royal family and replace it with a Jacobean leader. The Harrops were loyal to the monarchy, the Georges. On one occasion, Edmund Harrop heard that a Jacobean political gathering was to be held at the Royal Pensioner Inn in Royston Lane and he not liking this political party organized a mob of 500 with his own leadership and wrecked the Inn and the political meeting. The war cry of the mob was “The Church and the King forever! Down with the Jacobites!” The Inn being wrecked and all the ale and liquors being drunk by the crowd caused an article to be published by the Jacobite sympathizers. The account published a statement which said, “The mob was lead by one Harrop of Barrowshaw, an atrocious ruffian and it was hoped that the law would deal with him and the other main leaders of the mob.” Nothing was done by the arm of the law. No doubt the fierce loyalty of Harrop and the mob for the Church and King influenced the law administrators. The years of the 1840’s in England were termed “the Hungry Forties,” no doubt by famine and the “Industrial Revolution” and the increasing population of the rural and city areas of England. Men and women could not reap a proper living for the amount of labour required to purchase the needs of life.The cry to all was “let us find new lands.” America and Australia offered new opportunities, so these became the open sesame for emigration. Songs were being sung throughout Britain about the virtues of America and its opportunities for immigration, songs like “To the West, To the land of the free, Where the mighty Missouri flows down to the sea,” and many others. The old farm “Barrowshaw,” could not support the whole family of Bob Harrop and so his sons, one by one, decided to emigrate to new lands. William Harrop sailed to New York and then overland in a covered wagon which formed part of an immigrant train of wagons. This train transversed the North American continent from East to West, heading for the goldfields of California. The Goldfields could be reached by sea by rounding the South American continent by way of Cape Horn, or by travelling overland through hostile and unknown Western states of America. William’s wagon train had to fight its way through the Red Indian opposition and many other hardships to reach the goldfields. He later left California and met up with his brother Daniel in Melbourne in 1858. The story of William and Daniel with his wife and son Job leaving Melbourne in search of gold in the Ovens Gold-Fields will be related in the story of Job Harrop. Daniel Harrop left his home at Barrowshaw, Oldham, England and sailed to Victoria with a shipload of adventurers in search of the newfound gold at Ballarat. This he did in the year 1852, at the age of about 26 years. He had recieved considerable experience in England as a Wheelwright and Ironworker and was a confident tradesman. Bad times and the lure of a fortune in gold in Victoria no doubt influenced him to try his luck in this new land. Gold had been discovered in Ballarat so Daniel made his way to this new field. He carried his swag on his back and took several days to walk or ride by dray to Ballarat from Melbourne. The present day journey is about 70 miles by road or rail, but in the early days only winding dirt tracks wound their ways crossing many watercourses and climbing steep hills, which made the journey much longer. The water from the creeks was the only water for men and beast to drink. He found alluvial gold at a place called “Black Hill” in Ballarat. He had found a mate who was no doubt an Englishman like himself and they were doing well in their shaft. They called it their “Show.” They were well satisfied with the gold being washed and may well have stayed there for some time, except for an attack by a band of wild Colonial Boys, who demanded their show or they would be killed. Daniel called them a band of “Bungaree savages,” which was the name given to Irish immigrants from the settlement and goldfield of Bungaree. Released political convicts from Van Dieman’s Land were heading for the goldfields and were in some instances deported Irish Rebels. When they could not get a payable show they were by their numbers took the shows by force from the weaker or less pugnacious. Daniel and his mate were threatened that if they did not come up the shaft and get off, they would be filled in by the mob above. Daniel and his mate came up and packed their swags and headed for places less dangerous. They walked to Bendigo and then to Forrest Creek and then later back to Creswick and again to Ballarat. By this time Daniel had accumulated quite a bit of gold dust and small nuggets and he being then only 27 years old and having married Betty before he left England and now having a son Job, he thought he should return to England. This he did, on the ship “Marco Polo.” He arrived back in England with several hundreds of pounds and was no doubt treated as something of a hero... ...failed as the partner was addicted to drink and as the sale of assets was being held, the funeral of the partner passed the door. Drink had caused this man to fail and die and caused Daniel to lose most of his assets. He gathered what was left from his wrecked venture and with his wife and son Job, sailed again from Liverpool on the ship “Shalimar” in 1857. He found Melbourne a bustling city even more engrossed in the fever for gold. Accomodation was very difficult to find for a family man. After much trouble he eventually managed to get rooms in a terrace house near the present Parliament House at the top of Collins Street. The cost must have been very high for a man just arrived. The shipboard mates and men from home whom he had known, soon came to Daniel’s aid. A friend gave him his tent in the camp in South Melbourne. Another old friend was leaving Melbourne and gave him his tent and some tools just before boarding the ship bound for England. Daniel then set about looking for a job. He got a job fixing teamsters wagons and drays and no doubt was thankful for his earlier training as a wheelwright and ironworker. He still wished to go to the goldfields again and good gold was being found on the Ovens River (Beechworth). He was told that freight charges to the Ovens was $50 (Pounds) per ton which is just under 200 miles. A teamster was approached and he offered Daniel and his wife and son a proposition by which they could travel with the team in return for wheelwright duties on the wagon by Daniel. The contract allowed his wife and child to travel on the wagons and camp under them by night. Daniel, it seems, had to walk with the teamsters. He set up a claim on the “Ovens Field.” They then moved into the mountain country to the Mitta Mitta field and then journeyed over the Victorian Alps and up into NSW to the Forbes field nearly 300 miles north and to a field called Buckland. At Forbes it was on or near the river and the field was very wet. On this field he and his brother Wiliam eventually washed a cupful of gold from a bucket full of wash. The conditions were very bad for everybody and in particular for Daniel’s wife and son Job, so they returned to Melbourne. On arrival there they found accomodation in Williamstown and Daniel obtained work on the new water pipeline being laid from the new “Yan Yean” Resevoir to Melbourne and Williamstown. As Daniel was walking with a group of workmen near the breakwater pier at Williamstown one day he noted that a large party of chained convicts were working on the breakwater. The British Government had two “convict hulks” as they were called, anchored in Hobson’s Bay and parties of convicts who were housed in the hulls of these old sailing ships by night, were brought out each day to do convict-labour work wherever required on the nearby shore. Daniel saw a rush by a group of convicts, who were guarded by soldiers and he later learned that the Superintendant of Convicts, one John Price, had been murdered by the convicts. Price had a bad name from the convict settlements in Tasmania and his treatment of these men had caused this revolt and his death. Twelve convicts were hanged for this murder. Daniel and his wife and Job then travelled to Hoddles Creek, to the new gold find. This is about 38 miles east of Melbourne. In these early days the only way was by pack track into this dense bush. From Hoddles Creek they moved on to Old Warburton, then known as “Yankee Jim’s Creek” diggings. They set up their tent under a very large blackwood tree and it has been said that 3 to 5 thousand diggers were digging in the gullies in this area. (Approx. 60 years later Job’s son Bernard bought approx. 200 acres of this old gold diggings area. The large blackwood tree was still standing. A pair of scissors lost by Betty Harrop during the last goldrush camp was found and restored to the family. Charles Harrop now has these scissors.) During the Harrop’s stay at “Yankee Jim’s” Creek, an Englishman named Bridges was killed in a mining accident. He had been on the same ship coming out and was very friendly with Daniel Harrop. He also had come from Oldham. No proper roads to allow a horse drawn vehicle to travel had been constructed in this mountain area and 100 miners volunteered to carry the body in relays of 4 until a dray road and a dray was reached. The body was taken to Melbourne for an inquest and burial. Daniel and his wife and son now moved on to new gold diggings about 85 miles north west of Melbourne. These diggings were called Little Chinaman’s, were near Dunolly. The only way was by dray or coach. Daniel found a gold reef, which is known as Harrop’s Reef. It seems that Daniel worked in mines and on mining works in the Dunolly district until his death in 1880. His wife Betty Harrop (nee Collinge) was from Oldham and as a young child of 6 years, worked in a spinning mill. In a later segment we will deal with the life story of Job Harrop, who was the only son of Daniel and Betty and how he served his apprenticeship as a Boot & Shoemaker in the gold mining town of Dunolly. He was a devout Methodist and a Lay Preacher and very much a Temperance man. This seems to have been brought about by his father’s drinking with the early miners and to some extent becoming addicted to the drink. Daniel, at 54 years, could not be considered an old man by our standards, but we have been told of his hardships and perhaps this and the intake of spirits, caused the miner Daniel to have an early death by a stroke." cf LETTERS FROM JOHN LEES 1850s - 1860s TO HIS FAMILY IN OLDHAM, ENGLAND FROM THE GOLD RUSH IN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA "... who should I meet ...and Dan Harrop...and I returned and saw the 2 Harrops...well they were pretty thunderstruck to see me I can assure you...there was some extravagant news of diggings at the Ovans distance 200 mile the Harrops...decided to go to them they asked me to go, but I did not like to go...so I agreed very reluctantly...things went on in a pretty smooth way till Bill Harrop begun to domineer and bully rag too much..."
