THE ALICE STILLING ALBUM   This album seems to have been put together by Alice Stilling of Adelaide some time in 1863 after the death of her husband Robert Stilling. The Alice Stilling Album   This text and the entries below the photos was most likely written by Alice Stilling. Maybe she was in Paris after travelling back to England to see her relatives or even to Germany to see her husband's relatives - following the death of her husband in Adelaide, 30 August 1863 - he was 39. Joesph Stilling was the partner with Henry Noltenius in the merchant firm of Joseph Stilling & Co. which was a significant business operating out of Port Adelaide. The album seems to be portraits of business associates and friends of the Stilling family. The business community in Adelaide formed the upper level of the local society and hence you often see albums such as these include judges and the governor. Many in this new business community had multiple businesses across land development, mines, insurance, shipping and retail. The main photographer was Townsend Duryea. Duryea had become very much part of this social and business class in Adelaide.     Studio: Professor Hall, Hindley Street, Adelaide Sir Dominic Daley, Governor of South Australia (sic) Sir Dominick Daly (1798 - 1868) was appointed governor of South Australia in October 1861. With his wife and two daughters he arrived in Adelaide on 4 March 1862, the day his predecessor, Sir Richard MacDonnell, was farewelled. South Australians came to know him as a kindly ageing gentleman, accessible, devoted to duty and a peacemaker noted for his cheerful impartiality. His first duty of sending condolences to the Queen on the death of the Prince Consort was melancholy but it was followed by the happier report of the return of John McDouall Stuart's expedition which led to annexation of the Northern Territory to South Australia in 1863. Unfortunately pastoral expansion was halted by drought in 1864 but the boom in copper mining revived the economy and led to an extension of railways and agricultural settlement. Political crises were therefore frequent and the administration changed nine times in 1862-68. More serious was the controversy which led to the removal of Judge Benjamin Boothby from the Supreme Court bench in 1867. Daly loyally supported each premier in turn, zealously advocating more production and immigration as the surest roads to prosperity, and more than any other governor he recommended leading colonists for royal honours. A month before the Duke of Edinburgh's visit in October 1867 Daly asked for an extension of his term, chiefly because of his wife's paralysis, but his own health was rapidly declining and he died in office on 19 February 1868. Despite searing heat, people lined the streets for the state funeral and he was buried in the Catholic section of West Terrace cemetery. On 20 May 1826 he had married Caroline Maria, daughter of Ralph Gore of Barrowmount, County Kilkenny; she died at Glenelg on 16 July 1872, aged 71, survived by three sons and two daughters. Source: Australian Dictionary of Biography     Dr Gosse Studio: H. Strother, Stephens Place, Adelaide Dr William Gosse (1812-1883) and Agnes Grant (1811-1891). In 1850 the Gosse family with their six children, left England for South Australia, on the barque Elizabeth where they arrived in December. Once there the family found accommodation in Hindley Street where the doctor set up practice. When gold was discovered in Victoria, Dr William Gosse went to have a look as well and was there to help Alexander Tolmer collecting the gold for the first Gold Escort back to Adelaide. He was later elected to the Board of the Adelaide Hospital and campaigned hard for the immunisation of young children. In 1855 he was Medical Officer responsible for the Adelaide Servants Depot. On 4 January 1870 Dr Gosse, his wife and eldest daughter Agnes returned for a ten month visit to England and Europe on the Yatala. The night before his departure Dr Gosse was given a dinner by some thirty medical gentlemen. At the dinner he explained that the trip would not be merely one of pleasure. He would seek opportunities of falling in with the eminent men in the profession at home and would be a frequent visitor at the hospitals and Schools of Medicine. In fact, he said, he would again become a student. Dr Gosse did very well in South Australia. Most of their six children also did well. Source: Flinders Ranges Research Son William Christie Gosse:   In 1859 joined the Government Survey Office. William and his brother Harry both worked on the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line. William discovered and named Ayers Rock. William also named Agnes River, Harry's Reservoir and Mount Hay in the MacDonnell Ranges. In 1875 William Gosse became Deputy Surveyor General.       Mrs. Ibbetson   see next for Reverend Ibbetson     Studio:   T. Duryea, 66 King William St, Adelaide 1864 The Revd.Denzil J. H. Ibbetson The Rev. Denzil John Holt Ibbetson, IIncumbent of St Bathlomemews, Adelaide (1823 - 1871). Mr. Ibbetson was born in the West Indies and his father was an officer in the army.   His early predilections were in favour of architecture and engineering, to which branches of knowledge he was always very much attached. He was educated in Germany, and also at the Civil Engineer's Institute at Putney. He entered upon the profession of civil engineer, and carried out some works at Sheffield. He also travelled in the Mediterranean, and visited Malta, where he very narrowly escaped drowning. Having expressed a desire to enter the ministry of the Church of England, he was educated by Dr. Jelf at King's College, and was ordained to deacon's orders in London, by the Bishop of London. He arrived in this colony in 1854, and was ordained to to the office of Presbyterian Church. In that year he was licensed to the Incumbency of St. John's Church, Korringa, and he also acted as missionary clergyman to several of the stations around the Burra. On 8th April, 1861, he was appointed Incumbent of St. John's, Adelaide, and St. Bartholomew's, Norwood, of which parishes he remained in charge until the time of his death. He leaves a widow and four children - two sons, and two girls. His eldest son was educated at St. Peter's College, and afterwards went to England, where he highly distinguished himself at Cambridge. He also passed a high examination for the East India Civil Service, and now holds a good judicial appointment in India.    see: Sir Denzil Charles Jelf Ibbetson source: Trove.nla.au     Studio:   T.

Land Development? - HAYHURST - William Harper Formby subdivided Part Section 88, Hundred of Adelaide, in 1876. His wife, Eleanor Formby (formerly Eleanor White) born 1865, died in Adelaide 1937. Herman Daenke sold Metala (now a vineyard) in 1882 to William Harper Formby (1818-1892) who took possession in April 1883. At that time the property was 1001 acres for which 5 pounds per acre were paid. Formby moved from Wayville in Adelaide with his wife (formerly Eleanor White) and eight children. William, a horse dealer and importer by profession, intended to set up a horse stud and spelling place for the animals he provided for the stage coaches running from Adelaide to Melbourne. The stables across the road from the homestead were complimented by a large yard and open shed where the machinery shed stands today. These housed feed and water troughs carved from large logs. Arthur Formby, second son of William (1869-1958) took over the management of Metala in 1890 and with his brother Fred purchased Metala from their father in 1894. Their partnership was dissolved in 1902. Under Arthur Formbys ownership the property grew to its present size of 2,700 acres. Prices for the purchase of extra acres varied from 10 shillings to 11 pounds per acre, the most expensive being the Bremer River flats.     Studio: T Duryea, Adelaide  1863 / 1864 Mr Stevenson There was a George Stevenson editor 1799 - 1856.

Not sure if she is the same as  - Mary Ann Draper arrived aboard the Oriental 580 tons, Captain J. Macintosh, from Southampton 23rd June 1855, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 1st November 1855.     Studio: Mr Bell Smith, 17 Regent Street, Waterloo Place Capt Lawrence of the 'Orient' 1856 Capt Lawrence of the 'Orient' - a pioneer of the Orient Line, was launched at Rotherhithe in 1853. The Orient was built to participate in the gold boom to Melbourne, and was fitted to carry passengers under a poop 61 ft long. However, she was not destined to start life on the Australian run, for she had barely been launched before she was taken up by the Government for the transport of troops to the Crimea. At the landing at Alma in September, 1854, she was transport No. 78, carrying the 88th Connaught Rangers. She managed to ride out the gale on the 14th November, 1854, off Balaclava, in which 34 of the Allied ships were wrecked and over 1000 lives lost. And in October, 1855, we find her acting as a hospital ship during the expedition against Kinburn and Odessa. In 1856 she returned to London and was then put on the berth for Adelaide. She sailed from Plymouth under Captain A. Lawrence on the 5th July, 1856, with a full passenger list, and hence forward was a favorite passenger ship in the South Australian trade. She made 21 voyages between London and Adelaide from 1856-1877, and she generally took about 95 days coming home via the Cape, calling in at Capetown and St. Helena, as was the custom with ships carrying passengers. The voyage starting May 1863 was only one day short of the record at that time. In the late 1850s and 1860s the arrival of the "Orient" was an event in Port Adelaide, and she used to fire guns on arrival.     Studio: C. T. Newcombe, Photographer, 135 Fenchurch Street, City Capt Legoe of the Murray 1863 Murray, another Adelaide passenger ship belonging to Anderson, was built by Hall, of Aberdeen, in 1861, being the last Orient liner to be built entirely of wood.  She had a long floor with sharp ends, and, whilst fitted with every convenience for passengers, she carried a very large cargo on a very small draught. The Murray was considered a fast ship, her best day’s run being 325 miles, but I can best show her capabilities as to speed by recalling a race which she sailed with the well-known Blackwall frigate Hotspur. Captain Begg was the first Lloyd's surveyor at Port Adelaide, and started the South Australian Stevedoring Company with Captain Legoe. Captain Legoe is deservedly popular; he is such a nice person, so kind, attentive, and obliging; the perfection of a captain and a seaman, always at his post and attending to his duty. The ship is beautifully clean, kept in order, and well found.     Studio: C. T.
