THE SKYRING FAMILY - The Early Years Daniel Budd Skyring, who with his wife, Ellen Lavinia, and their three children, arrived in Sydney in July 1833 on the 'Ester' was the son of Zachariah Skyring, who was apprenticed as a Carpenter, and later became a Builder and Publisher. For 30 years until the early 1830's he published an annual Gazette 'Skyring's Builders' Prices and Specifications', later carried on by his son William Henry Skyring, for about 30 years. Zachariah was the 3rd son of William Skyring, who is thought to have been a Militia Captain, and who was married in London on 5th November 1760 to a Sarah Chilcott. This information was supplied to me some 13 years ago by a Mr. Riki Thomas, who has lived in retirement near Lisbon, Portugal, for many years, and who has 'Skyring' as one of his Christian names. He thought that he was descended from this marriage, but subsequent research showed that a Sarah Skyring had died in February 1762; there was no will, as married women did not make wills in those days. Eventually my research Organisation found the Will of Mary Skyring who died in January She was a widow, and in her will made a William Preston, Cabinet Maker of Southwark, her Trustee and left one thousand pounds to maintain her dear children William, John, Zachariah and George and to set them out in the world as he thought fit. Later the baptisms of 4 of the 5 children were found, these being recorded at St. George's, Hanover Square, London, where Captain William had married Sarah Chilcott. However, as the parents were shown as 'William and Mary Skyring it seemed obvious that they were the children of a second marriage, and at that stage my researchers did not find such a marriage. Eventually they realised that while finding Mary Skyring's Will, they had not checked on the Will of her husband, William, who had died only 9 months before her death. She had been granted Administration but this had not been carried out before she died, and it was not until 1784, that a fresh application was made for the Administration. In William's will he named the children's natural aunt, Eleanor Preston, as guardian, which left us with the problem of finding whether she was the sister of William or his apparent widow, Mary. My researchers failed to find the relevant marriages, but on a brief visit to London some months later; Riki Thomas traced the marriage in early 1763 of Eleanor Skyring to William Preston, and in November l763 that of William Skyring Widower, to Mary Tyzack. Mary's Trustee, - William Preston, apparently put the eldest son, William and the youngest son, George, in the Royal Artillery, and the other two sons were apprenticed to a Tiler (John) and Zachariah, our forebear, to a Carpenter or Builder. His indentures have not been traced, although those of John have. His apprenticeship commenced in 1784 at which stage the eldest brother; William was shown as Greg DAVIS Page Oct - 16

4 being in Quebec (k), Canada, possibly with the Army. He was gazetted a 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in 1780 and perhaps it may have been the need to buy a further commission, and John's apprenticeship which was the reason or the renewed application for Administration of Captain William Skyring's will in William (the younger) was gazetted a Lieut. Colonel before his death in 1806, he married a Elizabeth Austen, a connection of the novelist, Jane Austen, and they had 3 daughters. John married well, and apparently changed his name to that of his wife's family, while George attained the rank of Major and died in Gibraltar in George and Sarah Claringbould's eldest son was Lieut. William Skyring who was a member of the first expedition to survey the region of Tierra del Fuego under the command of Captain Phillip Parker King, R.N. The two ships in the expedition were the 'Beagle' and the 'Adventurer' and Skyring commanded the Beagle for a time after Stokes, the Captain committed suicide. Eventually Lieutenant Fitzroy was given the command, and it was he, who apparently, helped to interest Charles Darwin in taking part in the second expedition. He named a large sound in the area 'Skyring Water'. By this time, Skyring (by now a Naval Captain) was doing a marine survey of the West Coast of Africa, where he was killed by natives in He would have been a first cousin to Daniel Budd Skyring, our first Australian forebear, and I have a feeling could have perhaps interested him in migrating to Australia. Captain Phillip Parker King was the son of Phillip Gidley King of the First Fleet, and was born while his father was the Commandant on Norfolk Island. He had done marine surveying on the Australian coast. All Major George's family appears to have made well connected marriages and my Lisbon fellow researcher and distant cousin, is a descendant of his. Skyrings and Styrings (spelled in various forms) abounded in earlier years in the north of England, and there are still Styrings there. Some 20 years ago, another cousin unearthed a Mr. Harold Styring in Sheffield, who was convinced that 'Skyring' was a corruption of 'Styring'. He was a Fellow of the Royal Viking Research Society and the Royal Society of Linguists and he maintained that the Styrings were descended from a Danish Viking 'Styr' who settled on the Yorkshire coast in the 10th Century. Of course, some of the older Skyrings dispute the Styring idea, as, of course, the 'Sk' is also Scandinavian. That is something we'll never know, but it seems apparent that the family came from northern England, and at present, my researchers have spent months trying to find d link with the various recorded Births, Deaths, Marriages, and to establish when our forebears came south. The Tyzacks were one of several Huguenot families who fled to England in the 16th Century from Lorraine in France after the St. Bartholomew Massacre of the Protestants. They settled in the Midlands and Northern England and were engaged in making pots for greenhouses, and the name is still prominent in the steel industry in Sheffield, Cutlery was one of their main manufactures. It appears that the name 'Zachariah' came into the family through Mary as the I.G.I. sheets show a number of Tyzacks who bear this name. There is a Mary, who would be possibly the right age, who is the daughter a Zachariah Tyzack and his wife Mary (nee Errington), but we have not been able to establish at this stage if she is the woman who married William in Interestingly a Zachariah Tyzack is in the family tree of Margaret Tyzack, an actress with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and he was drowned in 1770; our Zachariah was baptised in December 1770! AUSTRALIAN FAMILY. After Daniel Budd Skyring and his family arrived in Sydney in 1833 he apparently was involved in brick kilns in the vicinity of where Redfern Station now stands, and he had a Tailor's Shop. Subsequently he managed an Estate for a Solicitor called Norton, in what is now the Lewisham/Leichhardt area of Sydney; it was called the Elswick Greg DAVIS Page Oct - 16

5 Estate, and there are Elswick and Norton Streets, there today. The 1841 Census shows Daniel Budd Skyring residing in the Parish of Petersham and 8 persons living in a brick house. It is not known what prompted Daniel Budd Skyring's migration to Australia, as the family seems to have been in fairly comfortable circumstances. Family legend has it that he married his mother's maid, which caused dissension with his family. In any case he married Ellen Lavinia Dunn at St. Luke's Old Street in The two older children, Eliza and Zachariah, were baptised at St.Mary Abbot's, Kensington, London, but we have not traced Daniel's baptism. Daniel Budd Skyring is shown on the House of Commons Return List of Emigrants as Daniel Skyring, Bricklayer, who paid 20 Pounds as an Assisted Emigrant for himself, his wife and 3 children. After 10 years in Sydney, during which time he made several trips north to the Moreton Bay settlement, he took his increased family in August 1843 there permanently on the 'Wanderer'. They were among the first free settlers there, and he took with him cattle, horses, timber and planks; the livestock included 2 imported bulls and a cow, the first dairy herd stock in the area. These were unloaded at Petrie Bight on the Brisbane River, together with the family's piano. A few years ago there was still a Skyring Terrace near the wharves and running towards Newstead. On land bought at the corner of Queen Street and what is now Edward Street he built the first brick shop, which was run by his wife and two daughters as a Cash Trading Centre, and known as the 'Busy Bee'. This later became Southerden's Store. He was an enterprising man - he owned a quarry, and on properties near the Brisbane River and in Ann Street, he grew grapes, pineapples, sugar and cotton, which were shipped to Sydney. He also owned a dairy at what is now Kedron, which was worked by his sons. The plantation near the River was left to one of his sons, Thomas, on his death in All Hallows Convent, which overlooked the land, needed to extend, and it was sold to them by Thomas. In the meantime as the family grew up they scattered and entered into various occupations in a growing colony, such as grazing, timber milling, flour milling and dairying. The two elder sons, Zachariah and Daniel, had land in the Grovelly district which they sold to the evident displeasure of their father. They took up leases in the Maroochydore district and were the first cattlemen to enter the district. These leases were allowed to lapse a few years later, and they eventually settled in the Gympie area - Zachariah at Mooloo on Pye Creek, and Daniel on Skyring Creek. He called his property 'Bellwood' because of the numerous bellbirds in the area. Descendants of Zachariah live in the Pye Creek area, and of Daniel still at 'Bellwood'. Ellen Lavinia died in July 1863 aged only 58 having had a strenuous live in a new colony, and having borne 11 children, 8 of whom lived to adulthood. Daniel Budd Skyring died on 21st February 1882 aged 78 years, an Obituary appearing in 'The Queenslander on 4th March They are buried high on the hill in Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane, Ellen's body having been transferred from Fortitude Valley where she had been buried originally.

Box 6000, Rockhampton, 4702 All photographs appearing in this file are placed directly before the person to whom they refer. If a photograph refers to two or more people then it will appear before the first person mentioned alphabetically and any subsequent people to whom the photograph refers will have the wording (to see a picture for this person go to the entry for XXXX, xxxx YYYYY) where XXXX, xxxx is the first person's name and YYYYY is the record number for that person. Any or web site addresses that appear in this file are those that have been gathered over the years during research and although they were current at the time of researching the family, they may no longer be valid. The addresses that are shown are the most recent that are known to the researcher. The compiler has chosen not to publish any dates for the last 90 years, but some dates may be known. If you are interested in any of those dates that are not published in this file, you might like to the compiler. Although the compiler may be aware of some dates that are not published here, it is at the compiler's discretion whether to inform the reader of those dates. Greg DAVIS Page Oct - 16
