• Notes

  SUMMARY Henry was born in 1847, in Tumut, New South Wales to father John Whitty and mother Louisa Brown. He was one of 11 children so would have grown up in a busy household. His father John was an energetic grazier and rancher having moved from India where he was a soldier to Australia and started from scratch with sheep and cattle. Their homestead would have been the centre of a growing agricultural business with a frontier mentality. Having spent his childhood in the Australia outback in a free-range life, probably riding horses, swimming in the lake behind the house and mixing with roustabout ranch hands, he then goes to school in England. He was enrolled aged 15 as part of the first intake in Clifton College in Bristol in 1862, a Public School (private / independent) which was just opening. Why? Neither of his parents had roots in England, his mother having spent her life in India and Australia, and his dad having grown up in Ireland and then moved to India and Australia. But in 1861 John Charles bought some land in Cotham in Bristol and invested in a large house, which the family moved into. Three of Henry's youngest siblings were born in Bristol. And he and his brother John both went to Clifton College. Quite a change from their Australian life. After school we don't know if he went to university, but most probably got immediately involved in running the family business with his father John in Australia. It involved some large tracts of land and also investments in agricultural companies. In 1865 John Charles and Henry bought Tarramia Station, Henry's future home, by the side off Lake Mulwala in Victoria. Tarramia was a sheep run of approx 50,000 acres on the north bank of the Murray River. This seems to mark Henry's 18th birthday. The March 1871 Census has Henry living with the family (except his dad who must have been in Australia) in London, at 16 Thurlow Rd in Hampstead. Henry is aged 23 and described as an 'Australian landowner' (Evidence of him already involved in the business in Australia with his dad as the eldest son). It is also notable that his future wife, Mary Hamlyn Harris is also at the same address as a visitor in the census, they must have been already engaged. According to a family history by Mary Whitty, they had met in Bristol, and the two families already knew each other. 6th July 1871 Henry married Mary Hamlyn Harris at St John's church in Hampstead, London. He was 24, she was 23. Mary Whitty's family history says they honeymooned for several months in Europe. They go on to have 6 children, of whom Henry Hamlyn is the significant one to continue this family tree. The rest of this summary is mostly gleaned for Mary Whitty's family history. Henry and Mary started their married lives by moving to Australia and living at Tarramia Station, where all their children were born. Tarramia is near the town of Corowa but the Station was pretty isolated at the time. 'As a new bride, Mary had first to travel by coach from Melbourne to Echuca, then up the Murray River in a small paddle steamer to land with some difficulty on a sandbank opposite the station. She then had to travel for about a mile in a horse drawn wagon across trackless bush to reach Taramia which was then only a slab building with four rooms, a kitchen and a store.' The homestead was also next to lake Mulwala and in an area of rivers so prone to flooding. 'A story is told that during one flood, Henry Tarlton, his children and their nurse were in a small boat. They were in the course of a very deep creek which ran just behind Taramia when he realised the youngest child was missing. Henry Tarlton dived in and found the child 12 feet down on the bottom, who was indignant at being rescued from the fascination of watching a fish swim into a bottle.' Henry's business, run first jointly with his father until his death in 1896, and then on his own included (from Mary Whitty's history); sheep-farming properties in the Tumut area of New South Wales, and by 1885 had built up a holding of 13,000 acres there and in Currango; Tarramia, a sheep run of approx 50,000 acres on the north bank of the Murray River; in 1882 he leased four separate parcels of land around Currango (close to the Murrumbidgee River), and further blocks of land in 1884 and 1891. By December 1892, he held 4355 acres of Currango's best treeless plain and had frontages on both Currangorambla Creek and the Murrumbidgee River; Quinyambie, a cattle station of approximately 3m acres about 160 km north west of Broken Hill in the Strzelecki Desert on the NSW/South Australia border which was managed for Henry by Lachlan McIntyre, whom Henry remembered in his will with a bequest of £500 'as a mark of appreciation for his long and faithful service'. This was still owned by Henry at the time of his death in 1912; Henry also had interests in land in Queensland; Henry Tarlton was also a Director of two large pastoral companies in Australia: the Australian Agricultural Co and its subsidiary, the Peel River Land and Mineral Co founded in 1856 to exploit the discovery of gold bearing land in the bed of the Peel River. The company subsequently became a major land owner of properties for rearing sheep and cattle. There were difficult times, as well as the extremes of heat which could blow up dust storms and rain which could cause floods. A fall in wool prices caused a crisis in 1892 and by 1893 only Henry and one other pastoralist remained in possession of land around Currrango. A recovery in 1895 was short-lived as seven years of drought followed. In 1909 the leases were sold. An 1873 satirical article from the Melbourne Punch newspaper takes aim at Henry, when a young man. It seems to be written in answer to a letter Henry must have written to a newspaper, and the satirical response implies Henry is a hard task-master on his station. He would have been 26 years old at the time (see photo of article above). After living at Tarramia from 1872 onwards, Henry and Mary returned to England in 1885 to send their eldest sons Henry (13) and John (10) to school in England. They seem to spend the next decade between England and Australia. They rent a house in Bristol from 1890-92 (Ivywell House at 58 Ivywell Road), but their younger children remaining Australia. We know this because 'From 1898 their youngest son, Noel Irwine, was sent to school at Clifton College Bristol, as had his two elder brothers. Family legend says that his parents were horrified to realise that he had been running wild at Tarramia and was practically illiterate although he could ride very well, and that his ambition was to run away and put his pick pocketing skills, learned from a jackaroo at Tarramia, to use in Sydney.' From 1897-1900 Mary and Henry lived in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, first at Pembury then at Broadwater Down. Henry's parents had settled there near the end of their lives, and a sister and brother-in-law were also living there. In 1900 Henry bought Dewhurst Lodge, a large family house in Wadhurst, Kent, where he stays for the rest of his life. 'Dewhurst had previously been owned by Thomas Gee who was interested in racing and horse breeding... Dewhurst Lodge therefore had extensive stables including a dedicated delivery room for mares. The stable block included a staff cottage, and a two storey building with an elaborate clock tower. Henry had been noted at Taramia for his interest in and skill with horses, breeding from a thoroughbred 'Brandon' and selling mounts to the Indian army.' We get a glimpse of his wife Mary's religious side at this point their lives, from Mary Whitty's family history: 'Those of her grandchildren with parents in the Army or in India would spend holidays with her at Dewhurst in the 1910s and 1920s, running wild six days of the week but having to attend church three times on Sunday... There was a Mission church at Wadhurst Station where Henry Tarlton regularly read the evening lessons, as well as being a sidesman at St Peter and St Paul's Church in Wadhurst.' The 1901 census record has Henry at Dewhurst, aged 53, 'living on own means, employer' with his daughters Mary 23 and Eliza 21 , along with 4 domestic servants (his wife is not there for it). The 1911 census have both Henry 63 and Mary 62 living at Dewhurst. Also with them are daughter Eleanor 36, grandson John 5, four visitors and five domestic servants. Henry dies on 30th March, 1912, aged 64. He died on the train station platform at Wadhurst suddenly, while accompanied by his wife, daughter and niece. The Probate for his Will shows he left effects of £48,176 which is equivalent to £3.7 million in 2017 money according to the National Archives calculator. ++++++ born in New South Wales, followed in the footsteps of his energetic father, expanding the already growing farming properties in Australia through his lifetime, and becoming a director on the board of two large agricultural companies. He owned cattle, wheat and sheep farms, but weather and the price of markets at the end of the 19th century were a major challenge. He came to live in England in 1885 and remained based here till his death in 1912. He always had a connection with the UK, having gone to school in Bristol, and as well as living there he lived in Tonbridge and Wadhurst in Kent. Despite his Ozzy farming early years, he reflected the Empire at it's most confident stage, feeling at home on both sides of the globe. The net value of his NSW land at his death was £179,000 ++++++++++ Name Henry Talton Whitty Baptism Age 1 Baptism Place Yass, New South Wales, Australia Residence Place New South Wales, Australia Father John Charles Whitty Mother Louisa https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/942364:9776?tid=&pid=&queryId=681b3458c930597f8314913698503420&_phsrc=JIS1&_phstart=successSource Birth place Tumut, NSW https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/5377496772:62476 ++++++++ The following info from a family website about someone called Irene Rosser (1898-1992) shows the Whittys state a school, and two of Henry Tarlton's sister taught scripture at it: "Irene and her brothers and sisters attended a one-teacher school at "Tarramia", a station property owned by the Whitty family who had built the school. Education was provided to the children of the district by a wonderful teacher, Charles E. Brice. The two Miss Whittys from "Tarramia" station conducted the Scripture classes and Irene became a member of the Young People's Scripture Union on 4th January, 1908." https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rosser-125 ++++++++++ Henry Whitty of Dewhurst Lodge, Wadhurst, Sussex, England, and Tarramia Station, Mulwala, New South Wales was born in Tarramia, New South Wales. Went to school in Clifton college, part of first intake in 1862. Married Mary Hamlyn Harris in 1871 in Hampstead parish church. Henry along with his father owned sheep-farming properties in the Tumut area of New South Wales, and by 1885 had built up a holding of 13,000 acres there and in Currango. In 1861, Henry's father John Charles Whitty purchased land in Cotham (a rapidly expanding middle class suburb of Bristol in the mid-late 19th century) and he and Louisa lived at Cotham Lodge where Henry's paternal grandfather, John Whitty, Archdeacon of Kilfenora Cathedral in Co Clare, Ireland, died in 1864, from where Henry's eldest sister Ellen, married Arthur Brown in 1864, and his sister Louisa married Robert Gabbett Parker (the Parkers were an Anglo-Irish family from Co Clare) in 1868, and where Henry's three youngest siblings (Herbert, Harold and Sophia) were born 1861-5. Mary Hamlyn and Henry Tarlton were both in London at the time of the 1871 census (March). They met in Bristol where it is clear from Florence Stacy?s memoir that the Harrises and the Whittys were well acquainted with each other. After honeymooning in Europe for several months, visiting France, Germany and Italy, Mary Hamlyn and Henry Tarlton went to live in Australia where their six children were all born at Taramia Station, Corowa, NSW 1872 - 85. Henry Tarlton?s land ownership in NSW was focussed on the Riverina area, bounded by the Lachlan, Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers. Taramia was a sheep run of approx 50,000 acres on the north bank of the Murray River. Henry Tarlton and his father John Charles had purchased this in 1865 when Henry Tarlton was 18 and it was located in a rich agricultural and pastoral area of heavy alluvial soil between Corowa and Mulwala, but prone to flooding with notable floods in 1867 and 1870. A story is told that during one flood, Henry Tarlton, his children and their nurse were in a small boat. They were in the course of a very deep creek which ran just behind Taramia when he realised the youngest child was missing. Henry Tarlton dived in and found the child 12 feet down on the bottom, who was indignant at being rescued from the fascination of watching a fish swim into a bottle. Taramia was relatively isolated until the construction of bridges over the Murray at Corowa in the 1860s and at Mulwala in 1891, and the opening of railway lines which linked Corowa to Melbourne in 1879 and to Sydney in 1892. It was about 20 miles from Corowa and the improved and rapid communications with major population centres allowed the land owners to diversify from wool to wheat. Taramia was at the forefront of the development of sharecropping in 1889, whereby the owner provided land and other farmers the labour for wheat growing. Availability of labour was a limiting factor in Australian farming, exacerbated from time to time by desertions of shepherds and other stock men to newly discovered gold fields. Taramia was sold by Henry Tarlton?s son Henry Hamlyn in 1922. Henry Tarlton also had other property in NSW: in 1882 he leased four separate parcels of land around Currango (close to the Murrumbidgee River), and further blocks of land in 1884 and 1891. By December 1892, he held 4355 acres of Currango?s best treeless plain and had frontages on both Currangorambla Creek and the Murrumbidgee River. A fall in wool prices caused a crisis in 1892 and by 1893 only Henry and one other pastoralist remained in possession of land around Currrango. A recovery in 1895 was short-lived as seven years of drought followed. In 1909 the leases were sold. Another property owned by Henry was Quinyambie, a cattle station of approximately 3m acres about 160 km north west of Broken Hill in the Strzelecki Desert on the NSW/South Australia border which was managed for Henry by Lachlan McIntyre, whom Henry remembered in his will with a bequest of £500 ?as a mark of appreciation for his long and faithful service ?. This was still owned by Henry at the time of his death in 1912. Henry Tarlton also had interests in land in Queensland. Henry Tarlton was also a Director of two large pastoral companies in Australia: the Australian Agricultural Co and its subsidiary, the Peel River Land and Mineral Co founded in 1856 to exploit the discovery of gold bearing land in the bed of the Peel River. The company subsequently became a major land owner of properties for rearing sheep and cattle. The Australian Agricultural Company was founded in 1824 through an Act of Parliament with a land grant of 1m acres in New South Wales to promote sheep and cattle rearing, but subsequently diversified into a wide range of farming interests. It is one of Australia?s oldest still operating companies. In 1885 Mary and Henry returned to England to settle their two eldest sons (Henry Hamlyn aged 13 and John Tarlton aged 10) at school and in 1890, Mary and Henry rented a house in Bristol for a couple of years: this was Ivywell House at 58 Ivywell Road. From 1897 Mary and Henry lived in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, first at Pembury then at Broadwater Down. Henry Tarlton?s grandmother, Charlotte Brown (d 1884), and his parents, John (d 1896) and Louisa (d 1901), had settled there, as had his eldest sister Ellen (d 1898) and her husband, Arthur Brown (d 1894), and brother-in-law, Alfred Brown (d 1901). From 1898 their youngest son, Noel Irwine, was sent to school at Clifton College Bristol, as had his two elder brothers. Family legend says that his parents were horrified to realise that he had been running wild at Tarramia and was practically illiterate although he could ride very well, and that his ambition was to run away and put his pick pocketing skills, learned from a jackaroo at Tarramia, to use in Sydney. His elder brother, John Tarlton, recounted that being able to ride well was also a considerable advantage to his career in the Indian Civil Service, since it enabled him to get about his district (Bihar) with ease and to play polo to competition standard. In 1900 Henry Tarlton purchased the Dewhurst estate, near Wadhurst on the Kent/Sussex border and passed responsibility for his Australian properties to his son, Henry Hamlyn. ?Dewhurst? had previously been owned by Thomas Gee who was interested in racing and horse breeding (in 1875 he established the Dewhurst Stakes, originally known as the Dewhurst Plate, a flat horse race for two year old thoroughbred colts and fillies run on the Rowley Mile every October at Newmarket). Dewhurst Lodge therefore had extensive stables including a dedicated delivery room for mares. The stable block included a staff cottage, and a two storey building with an elaborate clock tower. Henry had been noted at Taramia for his interest in and skill with horses, breeding from a thoroughbred ?Brandon? and selling mounts to the Indian army. Mary was a devout Christian, sharing the evangelical and missionary beliefs of her mother?s family, and those of her older sister Harriet and brother?in-law Robert Stanes. Henry and Mary founded a school and a Sabbath School at Taramia, which was a relatively remote station in their early married life. As a new bride, Mary had first to travel by coach from Melbourne to Echuca, then up the Murray River in a small paddle steamer to land with some difficulty on a sandbank opposite the station. She then had to travel for about a mile in a horse drawn wagon across trackless bush to reach Taramia which was then only a slab building with four rooms, a kitchen and a store. Eventually a wooden church was erected at Taramia where monthly services were held. Those of her grandchildren with parents in the Army or in India would spend holidays with her at Dewhurst in the 1910s and 1920s, running wild six days of the week but having to attend church three times on Sunday (John Anthony Noel). One of the rooms in the stable block at Dewhurst was known as the ?Mission Room?. There was a Mission church at Wadhurst Station where Henry Tarlton regularly read the evening lessons, as well as being a sidesman at St Peter and St Paul?s Church in Wadhurst. Henry Tarlton died very suddenly on 30 March 1912 on the platform at Wadhurst Station. He was returning with his wife, a daughter and a niece from London, having been visiting Bath for his health.
