  • 3 Jun 1885, BERWICK SUNDAY SCHOOL TEA MEETING. The annual tea meeting and distribution of prizes to the children attending the Christ Churchof England Sunday school took place on Monday evening, the 25th May. For some considerable time past a special effort was made to obtain contributions for this purpose, and Mrs. Hill, Miss Vaile, Miss Frances Elmes and Mr. Michael Elmes succeeded in getting over £12. At an early hour on the morning of the treat Mr. Elmes, the superintendant, was seen with a horse and dray busily engaged conveying forms, fern trees, baskets of crockery and a lot of other things, towards the Temperance hall, and making great preparations for what was to follow. The internal arrangements were then seen to, and took some time to complete. They were no easy task, especially decorating the room with flowers, ferns, and evergreens, by Miss Vaile, who was assisted by some of the senior scholars. At four o'clock the children, numbering forty-two, took their seats at the tables under the guidance of their teachers. The tables were presided over by Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Mackinnon, Mrs. Browning and Miss Vaile. Miss Frances Elmes and Miss Cook, and were further adorned with some beautiful bouquets of flowers, which had been given by Mr. Kent. During the tea the Rev. Mr. Hill and Messrs. Hammond, Harold Vaile and Elmes assisted the ladies con siderably, in fact were kept going the whole time refilling plate after plate with scones, cakes, &c., Miss Coleman and Mrs. Taylor assisting. After the tea and everything had been cleared away, the Rev. Mr. Hill and Mrs. Hill distributed the prizes to the various winners (want of space prevents us from publishing the list in full), but before doing so Mr. Hill addressed the children and reminded them of their reason for meeting there that evening ; of the great obligations they were under to the superintendent and his excellent staff of teachers; that the teachers have been most painstaking, de nying themselves a great deal, and have produced such results as have never been attained at that school before; that the children who have obtained prizes this year should not regard them for their intrinsic value, but as an acknowledgment from their teachers for their past attention to lessons and good behavior, and those who have not been so fortunate should not be dishartened, but should strain every effort to carry off the prizes next year. Special prizes were awarded to Eugene Taylor, a the most regularly attending scholar in the school, and consisted of a handsome bible given by Mr. Fossey; to Lottie Shrapnel, for regular attendance, awarded by the superintendent, Mr. Elmes; and also one to Benjamin Cook, for good conduct. During the distribu tion of prizes Mr. Hammond, the head teacher, was engaged erecting a sciopticon, which was kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. S. Staughton, M.P. Mr. Hammond afterwards exhibited some very appropriate pictures, amongst which was "Blue Beard," and all of which amused the children greatly. As each picture ap peared it was well explained by the Rev. Mr. Hill, Mr. Elmes, and Mr. Harold Vaile, each relieving the other occasion ally. After passing a most enjoyable even ing the children gave cheers for their superintendent, teachers, the Rev. Mr. Hill, and Mr. Staughton, and when the National Anthem had been sung the meet ing broke up, it being about eight o'clock.9

  • 3 Jun 1885, BERWICK SUNDAY SCHOOL TEA MEETING. The annual tea meeting and distribution of prizes to the children attending the Christ Churchof England Sunday school took place on Monday evening, the 25th May. For some considerable time past a special effort was made to obtain contributions for this purpose, and Mrs. Hill, Miss Vaile, Miss Frances Elmes and Mr. Michael Elmes succeeded in getting over £12. At an early hour on the morning of the treat Mr. Elmes, the superintendant, was seen with a horse and dray busily engaged conveying forms, fern trees, baskets of crockery and a lot of other things, towards the Temperance hall, and making great preparations for what was to follow. The internal arrangements were then seen to, and took some time to complete. They were no easy task, especially decorating the room with flowers, ferns, and evergreens, by Miss Vaile, who was assisted by some of the senior scholars. At four o'clock the children, numbering forty-two, took their seats at the tables under the guidance of their teachers. The tables were presided over by Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Mackinnon, Mrs. Browning and Miss Vaile. Miss Frances Elmes and Miss Cook, and were further adorned with some beautiful bouquets of flowers, which had been given by Mr. Kent. During the tea the Rev. Mr. Hill and Messrs. Hammond, Harold Vaile and Elmes assisted the ladies con siderably, in fact were kept going the whole time refilling plate after plate with scones, cakes, &c., Miss Coleman and Mrs. Taylor assisting. After the tea and everything had been cleared away, the Rev. Mr. Hill and Mrs. Hill distributed the prizes to the various winners (want of space prevents us from publishing the list in full), but before doing so Mr. Hill addressed the children and reminded them of their reason for meeting there that evening ; of the great obligations they were under to the superintendent and his excellent staff of teachers; that the teachers have been most painstaking, de nying themselves a great deal, and have produced such results as have never been attained at that school before; that the children who have obtained prizes this year should not regard them for their intrinsic value, but as an acknowledgment from their teachers for their past attention to lessons and good behavior, and those who have not been so fortunate should not be dishartened, but should strain every effort to carry off the prizes next year. Special prizes were awarded to Eugene Taylor, a the most regularly attending scholar in the school, and consisted of a handsome bible given by Mr. Fossey; to Lottie Shrapnel, for regular attendance, awarded by the superintendent, Mr. Elmes; and also one to Benjamin Cook, for good conduct. During the distribu tion of prizes Mr. Hammond, the head teacher, was engaged erecting a sciopticon, which was kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. S. Staughton, M.P. Mr. Hammond afterwards exhibited some very appropriate pictures, amongst which was "Blue Beard," and all of which amused the children greatly. As each picture ap peared it was well explained by the Rev. Mr. Hill, Mr. Elmes, and Mr. Harold Vaile, each relieving the other occasion ally. After passing a most enjoyable even ing the children gave cheers for their superintendent, teachers, the Rev. Mr. Hill, and Mr. Staughton, and when the National Anthem had been sung the meet ing broke up, it being about eight o'clock.8

(Migrant) Migration/Travel14 Mar 1833 Sailing with George Hale, Anna Hale, Emma Hale, Elizabeth Hale, Caroline Hale, William Hale, Esther Hale to Hobart, TAS, Australia. Ship The family decided to emigrate to Van Diemen's Land. Very fortuitously, their initial travel plans were thwarted… At first they had intended to leave Liverpool on board "The Hibernian", but were unable to secure passage in time for its departure, so they were forced to wait several weeks for another vessel. They subsequently set sail, but their ship met a violent storm in the Bay of Biscay and nearly foundered, so the captain returned the ship to Liverpool, where "the old tub" was condemned. Whilst waiting (for two months) for yet another vessel, the Hale family learned that "The Hibernian" had caught fire at sea, and of the several hundred aboard, only about sixty people were saved. Their third voyage, aboard the "Princess Elizabeth", was also unsuccessful… a storm blew the vessel onto the Cheshire coast, and after the passengers and cargo were removed, she was towed back to Liverpool and declared unseaworthy. Two months later, the Hale family's fourth journey was delayed when their ship, the "Lady East", hit a sand bank near Liverpool … after being dislodged by a high tide, she was returned to the dock for inspection…there was no damage, so the ship was allowed to sail. It had taken a weary wait of eight months, but the Hale family's trip was finally 'underway'.
