Title: KNEE/GORRICK
Post by: Kathy Schlegel on Sunday 15 November 09 14:04 GMT (UK)
Elizabeth Darlinghurst TRINDALL nee KNEE (b:30.12.1842 ~ 1902) was the mother of Amelia Emily GORRICK KNEE (b:27.4.1859 ~ 1934) but who was the father?

Hi Kathy,
Having looked up the birth online in NSW I see the father is not listed. Do you have any idea who the father might be ?
She married James M. JOWITT 1884 in Tamworth.
I can't find her death in 1934. Where did she die ?
Regards
Alison

there are 3 entries for the name William Buckingham TRINDALL on:
http://austcemindex.com/

but I don't think Elizabeth Darlinghurst married HALL unless she is buried under TRINDALL ???.

Thanks for your help everyone. No, I don't know who the father was though there are several hypotheses including an uncle who was said to have come out from England yet is also said to have died when he was 2 years old. Just for the record, Elizabeth Darlinghurst Knee did marry William Buckingham TRINDALL after Amelia Emily GORRICK KNEE  was born and they did have a large family. Amelia GORRICK KNEE married Thomas Norton JOWITT IN 1884 and subsequently moved to Queensland. After his death in 1900 she married James Anderson WORMALD in 1901.
Still hoping someone can help me track down Amelia's father.

Hi I came across your posts and I thought this information might be useful to you.  I found it at www.jewitt.net/documents/Genealogy_JasonJowitt.pdf     It states that Amelia's father was Albert Gorrick a solicitor.

Kathleen.

Would it be sensible to seek any "Albert Gorrick" death registration perhaps ...  ;)

There's this possibility in NSW BDM online...  Albert Gorrick, son of Abraham and Mary A...  Albert's death in 1928 registered in Sydney , reference 10619/1928.   Of course there's other states/colonies .....  and that pdf is like a 'submitted' record... but its a possibility   

Cheers,

Hi my name's Kathleen and I think I can clarify the Tierney connection.  My Great Great Grandmother was Violet Emily Maude Tiernry Knee and she was born in 1879 in Maitland to Amelia Emily Gorrick Knee and Patrick Tierney.  I don't know if the were married but Amelia later went on to marry Thomas Jowitt to the best of my knowledge.

Kathleen.
Title: Re: KNEE/GORRICK
Post by: trish1120 on Wednesday 18 November 09 12:20 GMT (UK)
Thanks for that Kathleen.
Welcome to Rootschat :)
So Violet dropped the Knee to marry Edward Mellon obviously.
Did Patrick Tierney marry later ?. There are 3 possibilities for this.

Hi Kathy. Violet Tierney Knee is my great-grandmother. I have found my family, with the help of a special friend, and have traced the Mellons back to 1766, in England. Have lots of info and certificates to back it all up. Have a great day. I hope this makes you happy.

Bit More,

I've just been reading about one of my OH's forebears from Maitland district, and noticed the names of several members of the NSW Parliament from that era...  One was surnamed GORRICK... and his middle name was Albert...

Joseph Albert GORRICK, a solicitor who was a member of the NSW Legislative Assembly as the member for Wollombi from 12 Dec 1882 to 7 October 1885.   There's details available for him at  http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au including: He was Son of Jacob Gorrick, farmer, and Elizabeth Maskie. Married Cecilia Catherine Hillcoat in 1868 at Maitland and had issue, 3 daughters and 4 sons. Church of England.

Bit More,  Again 1870... there's a Jacob Gorrick at East Maitland - Swan Reach... ..............JM

Hi to both Kateness and Kathleen
My Great Great Grandmother was also Violet Emily Maud Tierney and i am looking into the family history myself. My grandfather is the son of Kathleen Mellon - daughter of Violet & Edward.  If you have any information that could help i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you :)

Hi to Katness and Alica.
It's taken me a while to check this forum again but am glad I have as the info re Patrick and Kathleen Teirney will now give me some new leads as I had almost given up on trying to establish Amelia Gorrick Knee's paternity. Thank you all for your help on this search and would love any info re the Mellon Teirney connection anybody has.

Title: Re: KNEE/GORRICK
Post by: Kathy Schlegel on Wednesday 15 December 10 04:59 GMT (UK)
Re Partick Tierney being Violet's father, have searched but cannot find any info that is vaguely relevant because he did not marry Amelia. There are several Patrick Tierneys but I have no way of knowing which is correct as I have no details re birth & death. Despite the Jason Jowitt pdf file I cannot find any definite info regarding the existence of Albert Joseph Gorrick, although there definitely was a Joseph Albert Gorrick, a solicitor, who married Celia Catherine Hillcoat. Amelia Emily Gorrick Knee was my great grandmother who married (1) Thomas Norton Jowitt and (2) James Anderson Wormald. I am a descendant of that Jowitt line, so I do have a connection with Violet and would dearly love to know which Patrick Tierney is her father. Can anybody help please with some dates?

Hi all,
I have PM'd Kathy on this my OH's great, great grandmother is Elizabeth Darlinghurst Knee Snr. I live in the Wee Waa/Narrabri area if anyone wants help this end.

Elizabeth D Trindall nee Knee (lol) married James Hall, they built and ran the Cuttabri Wine Shanty. It closed last year having had only 4 owners in that time and the 2nd wine License ever issued in NSW.

100's of Trindall/Knee descendants still live in the area. Yell if anyone wants help.

Cheers

Post by: Kathy Schlegel on Thursday 20 January 11 04:47 GMT (UK)
Hi Freckle,
Have PM'd you a private message. Yes oh yes I need help on two counts : Amelia's father and Violet's father - both were illegitimate. Violet has "Teirney" as a christian name on her birth certificate - if this suggests the father's name where can I find out more about him? There's a suggestion above that his name was Patrick Tierney but with no other info (eg birth/death dates) it's difficult to establish exactly which of the many Patrick Tierneys I have come across it was.
Title: Re: KNEE/GORRICK
Post by: Freckle on Thursday 20 January 11 21:02 GMT (UK)
Hi Kathy,
most of Elizabeths history prior to coming to Wee Waa is a bit vague to me but, I will ask some of the descendants up here if they know anything. This does run into my OH's direct so we might be lucky. My FIL is a fountain of knowledge but doesn't like genealogy, I'll have to get him on a good day. Elizabeth is his great grandmother.
I did an interview a few months back with a local magazine, I will ask the reporter if she can help re a follow up story.

Cheers

Posted this on the other thread (apologies for the double up):

Hi Kathy,

Elizabeth Graham (1893-1972) is one of the three legitimate daughters of Amelia Emilie and Thomas N. Jowitt. Her daughter Elva Dade wrote a book titled "And the women should not weep" which offers insight into 5 generations of family history. Elizabeth Graham is the sister of Alfred N. Jowitt. My mother shares Amelia Emilie as her Great Grandmother through her Father, Alfred Jowitt Jnr. The book intimates that George Nee (Uncle of Elizabeth Knee) was the Father of Amelia Emilie. At some point he changed his alias to his Great Grandfather's name "Joseph Albert Gorrick". Ultimately, he was buried under his alias' name.

Amelia Emile had Violet in 1879 to P.C. Gorrick(?) Unsure of his full name however the book suggests that Violet was reared by Elizabeth and William Trindall and Violet took on the Trindall name to protect her real Fathers profession as he could be struck off the legal register.

Only just started reading the book so will post again soon.

Regards,

Jason

Hi - I was wondering if anyone could help me with my researching of the Mantle/Knee/Gorrick/Tierney families.  My main concern seems to be much the same as others - finding the names of the fathers for Amelia Emilie Gorrick Knee and her daughter Violet Emily Maude Tierney Knee.  The name "Tierney" has got me so confused.  I have found the name of Patrick Tierney on Ancestry and Google sites, but no verification or any sources to confirm him as the father of Violet.  She has the name "Tierney" as one of her christian names and then on her marriage regn. it is listed as her surname.

I have read the book by Elva Dade and I did not find any mention of the name "Tierney" and of course the "Gorrick" name also confusing.

If anyone could help with documentation to find the fathers names of these two persons, I would appreciate their assistance.

Many many thanks
Barbara - Perth

Hi All,

Can I add my two cents worth to this thread and suggest that AnneCaroline suggested way back in 2009 that the way to establish the father of Amelia Emilie Gorrick Knee was through the will of Elizabeth Darlinghurst whoever.  Do any of the descendants happen to have a copy of that will?

Barb I tried to send you a Private Message but I think you have to have a certain amount of messages before that is possible.

Hello ...i can answer this for you .....Elizabeth Knee is my maternal Great Great Great Grandmother ...I have the original oil painting of her which hung in the Trindall Family properties in central New South Wales....This page of photographs is an extract from the book "And the Women Shall Not Weep" .

In short , Elizabeth Knee had a daughter , also named Elizabeth [Darlinghurst] , and she is Emilie's mother

Before Elizabeth Darlinghurst married William Buckingham Trindall , Elizabeth Darlinghurst had an illegitimate child - a daughter named Emilie ....and the father was George Knee , alias Albert Gorrick

you can read about it in this book ..
https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/1304837

...I shall upload attachments that will further explain the family tree

This is page 99 of And the women should not weep : a family history of five generations in Australia 1828-1934 / by Elva Dade

https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/1304837

it explains Emilie being the illegimate child of Elizabeth Darlinghurst & George Knee  , alias Albert Gorrick ......and the connection to William Allen , the Jowitts , etc

Very interesting -the tree and the article.

I can imagine the scandal when Emilie's background was discovered! Quite a large age gap for Emilie and Thomas.

Post by: Stella Wheildon on Tuesday 14 January 25 02:28 GMT (UK)
Ah yes,  that Old Chestnut of class systems and perceived propriety must have really shook the Jowett Families image...marrying into a Convict lineage.....But women were a scarcity in colonial Australia....English norms appear to have always married young brides to old men ...perhaps the two factors somewhat explains why there was a considerable age gap between Thomas Jowett & Emilie....?

then.....After Thomas passed Emilie met and married her 2nd husband James Wormald.  They established the famous Manly Kiosk  on the largest yacht harbour in the Southern Hemisphere - which is now the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadrons Headquarter
 
However the colonial scandal continued for Emilie's mother Elizabeth ...when two of Emilie's half siblings [from her mothers marriage to her step father William Trindall] chose to marry Kamilaroi women - of aboriginal descent.   

Though both those Kamilaroi women were very beautiful and faithful wives who bore many children , including my Grandmother,  the colonial mindset caste them out....it wasn't until the 1967 referendum in Australia that aboriginal people were liberated to being legally classified as humans and not just flora and fauna... 
 
Today, in Australia some of those "half -caste" descendants are successful and revered professionals, academics and artisans, not to mention agriculturists and scientists ....Nation Builders
you can read about some of them and the Trindall's in the book "Just Lovely"
https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/2848077

An astonishing legacy from the humble convict beginnings of Daniel Knee and his wife Elizabeth Wicks ...and I often ponder this when looking at the oil painting I have of Elizabeth

Once again, interesting differences in family 'dynasties' as I see quite a few of Emilie/Thomas's children's weddings written up in the social pages, mainly in the Brisbane area.  Poor Emilie seemed to have a hard time getting info and belongings back re the son who died in France.

I note, also that Thomas' family were Quakers.  I think the information says that he came to Australia from the Cape and wondered where he was before that.

Gosh - genealogy turns us into stickybeaks!  ::) ::)
