SECTION 1

THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND

 

The preliminary research into the Mould family in England produced the information that GY Mould's father, JOHN RAWE MOULD, had been a Commander in the Royal Navy, and was born about 1771 at Plymouth Dock (now known as Davenport), Co. Devon.  He had been promoted to the rank of Commander in 1824, having been commissioned as a Lieutenant in 1794.  Details of his naval career had been obtained.

In order to discover the date of death of John Rawe Mould a search was made in Navy Lists beginning in 1824, the year of his promotion to the rank of Commander.  It was found that he appears in these lists up to and including 1827, but not after that date.

Since John Rawe Mould appeared from Navy Lists either to have retired or died in 1827, a search was made in the Calendars of Wills and Administrations of the rerogative Court of Canterbury, the principal English court for that year. 

A reference was found to his Will – Appendix II.  The Will was examined and it appeared that it was made on 1st September 1805 when the testator was still a Lieutenant serving in HMS Triumph.  It left his estate to his wife, and then to his children after her death.  In the event of their being no children, the estate went, after the death of his wife, to his mother and then to his brothers and sister.  No names of relations are given in the Will, but it appears from the Probate Act that the name of his wife was ELIZABETH SNOWDEN MOULD.  She proved the Will on 18th August 1827, and it appears from the papers that John Rawe Mould had died on 6th July 1827.  He is referred to as a Captain in the Navy, residing at Stoke Damerel, co. Devon.

 

ST. ANDREW WITH ST. LUKE, STOKE DAMERAL, DEVON

 

As John Rawe Mould was described in the Affidavit to his handwriting as being of Stoke Damerel, a search was made for the baptisms of his children in Bishops Transcripts (official copies) of the registers.  The baptism of our client’s great-grandfather, GEORGE YONGE MOULD, was found on 26th March 1817.  The child’s second name is spelt YOUNG – probably a mistake.  He is described as the son of John Rawe and Elizabeth Snowden Mould of Dock (i.e. Plymouth Dock), John Rawe Mould being a Lieutenant in the Navy – Appendix IA.  Further searches produced references to the following additional children of John Rawe Mould: JOHN ARNOLD, baptised on 21st May 1807, THOMAS, baptised on 29th June 1808, SARAH MUDGE, baptised on 24th January 1811, WILLIAM, baptised on 13th April and again on 9th May 1814, (the earlier entry containing a mistake in the father’s name), another THOMAS, (the first one having presumably died), baptised on 18th October 1815, ELIZABETH, baptised on 1st January 1819, and ANNA, baptised on 7th September 1821.

 

A further search produced the marriage at Stoke Damerel on 11th August 1806 of John Rawe Mould, described in the License for the marriage as of the Triumph, and Elizabeth Snowden MUDGE, described as a widow, of Stoke Damerel House – Appendix IB.

 

A search was now made in Bishops Transcripts for the baptism of John Rawe Mould himself at Stoke Damerel.  This was found to have taken place on 21st August 1771, the names of his parents being given as WILLIAM and ELIZABETH MOULD.

 

ST FINABARRS, FOWEY, CORNWALL

 

A search of Bishops Transcripts for baptisms from 1770 back to 1764 produced only one other entry in the name of Mould, that of the baptism on 15th April 1770 of BRIDGETT COTTON MOULD, daughter of William and Elizabeth Mould.

 

The Bishops Transcripts of baptisms for the parish of Stoke Damerel also contained, in the early part of the 19th century, various baptisms of children, the fathers of whom, WILLIAM MOULD of Plymouth Dock, described as a gentleman, JAMES MOULD of Plymouth Dock, a Captain in the Royal Navy, and THOMAS MOULD of Plymouth Dock, a Captain in the Royal Marines, would seem to have been brothers of John Rawe Mould, or at least some relation.  Details of these baptisms appear in Appendix I.  William Mould had a son named John – JOHN MESSING MOULD, baptised on 3rd July 1818.  This William Mould would seem to have been the same person as the William Mould mentioned in our last report as Secretary to the Dock and Stonehouse Public Dispensary in Plymouth.  It is clear that the Mould family was of some prominence in Plymouth at that time. - Reg Mould’s Research Papers

THE YONGE NAME

The following from "Early History of Surgery" by W.J. Bishop, published by Robt. Hale Ltd. in 1960:- (quote)

       "The first great advance on the old circular method of amputation came in 1679 through the advocacy of James Yonge, a naval surgeon of Plymouth. In that year Yonge published "A new way of amputation and a speedier convenient method of curing stumps than commonly practiced, in which divers other useful matters recommended to the military surgeon." Yonge acknowledged that he had obtained the first hint of the new method from another Devonshire surgeon, C. Lowdnam of Exeter. James Yonge was a very remarkable man. Born in 1645, he was the son of John Yonge, a surgeon of Plymouth. After education at the local Grammar School he was apprenticed to a naval surgeon and he saw active service as a surgeon's mate in several ships, being present at the bombardment of Algiers in 1662 and having some extraordinary adventures. During a short interval on land he acted as assistant to an apothecary at Wapping, and subsequently helped his father in practice at Plymouth. He then made voyages to Newfoundland and to the west- coast of Africa. In 1665, his ship was captured by the Dutch and he was for nearly a year, a prisoner at Amsterdam. He finally settled at Plymouth in 1670 and was appointed surgeon to the naval hospital at a salary of five shillings a day. In 1674 he was Deputy Surgeon-General of the Navy and in 1694 he was Mayor of Plymouth. In 1707 he embalmed the body of Sir Cloudesley Shovell, the Admiral who was drowned after his ship the "Association" had been wrecked on the Bishop Rock between Lands' End and the Scilly Isles.    Yonge die on 29tn July, 1721 and was buried in St. Andrews Church, Plymouth.” - Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

My Aunt, Merle Mould, had a lot of books by Charlotte Mary Younge who was quite a well known 19th Century author and said to be a close relative, an Aunt or something but I can't remember exactly what. - Rosanne Collins

GEORGE YONGE MOULD

 

EDUCATION

 

He was originally intended for the medical profession, but only partly completed his course at Dublin University.

- Moores Australian Almanac 1854

 

Uprooting himself from his family's Royal Navy background studied medicine at Trinity College, Dublin, and the University of King James the Sixth, Edinburgh, whence he graduated as a physician on April 20th, 1837.

 - Reg Mould’s Research Papers

 

George Yonge Mould received more than an elementary education though I cannot tell which of the schools or colleges he attended, but he was admitted as a youth to Trinity College, Dublin, there to follow the course in Medicine.

 

It is probable that he was born shortly after the fateful year of Waterloo, 1815; this part of the story is not lined clearly, but here the first of the misfortunes must have beset him for he did not complete his medical course.

Two possibilities occur to me:

a.) He may have failed in his examinations.

 

b.) The parents' financial position may have deteriorated.

 

England, after the long Napoleonic Wars was impoverished and suffered many years of depression. Recovery was slow. Anyhow it appears quite certain that "Dr. Mould" never succeeded in obtaining any degrees from Dublin.

 

But he was not deterred: He transferred, probably the following year, to Edinburgh University. It was 1831, and the University College was awarding Diplomas of Obstetrics. My grandfather attended for 6 months and obtained his Diploma. This document, one of my grandmothers's cherished possessions for

many years, came into my hands eventually and is quoted herein:

 

 

The picturesque classical Latin refers to this -

Virum ingeneniosum G. Yonge Mould, which, translated could be “man of intellect", so how about letting my adjective "intellectual" stand.

 

- John Pattrick Collection

 

The University of King James the Sixth, Edinburgh.

I, Professor of Medicine and of the Art of Obstetrics, and of everything concerning the Disease of Women and Children, testify by this document that the man of intellect (“intellectual”) G Yonge Mould has sedulously attended to my lectures concerning the above matters for a period of six months - he has on several occasions successfully assisted in pregnancies and childbirth at the "Nosocomio” lying-in clinic of Edinburgh - on account of which I deem G. Yonge Mould fit to carry out the Art ("Profession) of Obstetrics everywhere. Let there be the greatest faith in this testimony - I have set down hereunder my personal seal and Signature.

 

    Conferred at Edinburgh in the month of April on the 20th day, 1837.

                             J.W. Hamilton, M.D., L.P.

 

This, the first of my original documents, is worthy of careful note and full translation. I give both, copy of the original and translation, for accuracy for which I am indebted Mrs. Julia Kenny of Nimbin, teacher of languages at Richmond River High School, and for some years at Girls High, Sydney. - Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

MARRIAGE

On 26th September, 1839 George Yonge married Maria, daughter of London Solicitor, Richard Cranch, - Reg Mould’s Research Papers

 

  

 


 

MARIA MOULD ¢nee CRANCH

- Richard Mould Collection

 

A young man, not fully qualified from Dublin, but holding a Diploma of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children from Edinburgh, was apparently quite an eligible match, and apparently qualified within the British Isles to call himself Physician.

 

Whether the young man's fancy lightly turned to thoughts of love, whether George met Maria and loved her, or whether, as so often happened in those times, their parents arranged a suitable match, I have now no means of knowing. However, both their families were in the professional class, and well connected and so the Twain were wed.

 

It was 1839 on September 26th, in the City of London, in the Church of All Hallows, Staining that

George Yonge Mould Bachelor of London So. Physician was married to Maria Cranch, Spinster, London, by L. Arthur Sharpe Off. Min. in the presence of Richard Cranch, Solicitor, Joshua Payne and Jas. Fredk. Mould.

 

 

It is noticeable that the groom's father was not present, the Jas. Fredk Mould must have been a brother, but the father whose name appears on the Marriage Certificate was John Rawe Mould, Sea Captain. Being a Captain in the days of sail, this absence is not surprising. It is even possible, or probable, that he was holed up in the Arctic ice at the time, for there is a Mould Bay on Prince Patrick Is. within the Arctic Circle in Canadian waters.

THE EARLY DAYS IN AUSTRALIA

Nothing more is known of the new settler’s activities until 11th Aug.1841 when their first child, George Gore Mould was born at Gilmour, Lake Bathurst, Tarago, the home of Admiral John Gore to whom G.Y's father had been known back home in Devonshire. Apparently G.Y. was gaining Colonial experience from John Gore because 4 ½ years later on 5th Feb. 1846 a second son, Frederick John was born "near Snowy River" according to the Baptismal record; around that period John Gore was the occupier of GEEKLE run which extended from the confluence of the Eucumbene and Snowy Rivers to Hill Top, SE of Jindabyne. Two and a half years later, 4th Sept. 1848,a daughter Elizabeth (Bessie), was born at "Bullumbalong”, following which the growing family again wafted into oblivion for a further 41/2 years until true to form, it was left to young William Richard on 4th March, 1853 to cause a pronouncement that his parents abode was “Buckenderry”. On Adjoining Middlingbank country G.Y. established his Boconnoc home.

-          Reg Mould’s Research Papers

 


 

From the ARCHIVES AUTHORITY OF NSW, COLONIAL SECRETAIES REPORT OF "VESSELLS ARRIVED IN PORT JACKSON"


 

 THE GORE FAMILY OF LAKE BATHURST

The Gore family settled at Lake Bathurst, probably in 1835. Nowadays relatively few people know Lake Bathurst, a smaller version of Lake George, about, ten miles to the east, hidden just off the road from Braidwood to Goulburn. But in the old days that road was often preferred as a main route to Sydney, and in any case the Gore family tried first to get land on Gooromon Ponds north of Hall, and another block near Bungendore so we can treat them as Canberra pioneers.

John Gore, the father of the family was a naval officer. He had entered the Royal Navy as a teenager in 1789, and had served as an able seaman on the Guardian, a store ship which sailed, through storm and shipwreck, to supply the newly founded colony of New South Wales. He rose steadily in the service. He was a lieutenant on the Indefatigable in 1804 and mentioned in despatches for his heroism in a Drake-like sea- fight which ended with the capture of four Spanish treasure ships, and over three million Spanish dollars. In 1808, he was one of the British officers who escorted the Portuguese royal family when they fled to Brazil to escape the invading French, and when the war was over he commanded one of the ships which guarded the imprisoned Napoleon on the island of St Helena. He retired as a captain in 1821, but was promoted in his retirement to the rank of rear admiral, just before he died in 1853.

How did the waters of Lake Bathurst come to have their very own British admiral? We can guess that John Gore, like many another retired officer or ranker, found peacetime life in Britain dull and financially difficult. From time to time boyhood memories of New South Wales must have stirred him, until at length an opportunity arose of acting upon them. In 1831 the British government had abolished free land grants in the col­onies, but the next year new regulations were drawn up which offered ex-officers generous rebates if they purchased colonial estates, and settled on them. Captain Gore found he was entitled to the maximum remission, and in 1833 he packed his bags and his family off to Sydney. Ann, his eldest daughter, who was already 22, assured her friends in England that she had not really seen much of the world on the journey out … three days in Cape Town and two in Sydney had been all, before spending a year in Parramatta being bitten by mosquitoes. Meanwhile her father searched for suitable land, eventually buying I, 165 acres alongside Mulwaree Ponds at Lake Bathurst. At five shillings an acre, this came to 291-5-0 pounds and with the gallant captain's rebate of 300 pounds, the land was in effect a free grant. It paid to be an officer. Captain Gore, a man in his sixties, was attempting to manage the farm alone, since the younger son, Edward, had taken some of the stock away to pasture -- probably in the Monaro were the Gores took out a grazing license the following year.

Shortly after their arrival, the Moulds set out for Monaro by wagon and were granted land, which is now known as “Boconnoc” (spelling as per document) near Middlingbank. Dr. Mould carried out his services as a medical man on horseback, and became widely known, especially on the southern and western Monaro. Records state that in 1845 he rode his horse across the flooded Snowy River at Jindabyne where the low lever S.M.A. bridge is now erected to attend to a Mrs. Williamson, delivering the first white child born south of the Snowy River. He tended the sick far and wide, often without recompense, and also assisted the settlers with veterinary problems.

The foundation stone of the first church in Adaminaby was laid by Mrs G.Y. Mould on November 12, 1862.  It was opened for worship on June 14, 1863, and was named the Church of Saint John the Evangelist.  It was a wooden building, the materials having been part of an old hotel built at Providence during the gold rush.  After the present church was built, it continued in use as a Sunday School Hall until 1941.

During this time, they obviously became well respected because records show that Mrs G.Y.

The trowel used in laying the foundation stone was held in the custody of Mr

G.Y. Mould – Weeroona for many years, and presented to Anglican Church in

Adaminaby when the new township was relocated.

There is in existence (and still in the Mould menage) a trowel made by an early German settler, inscribed with the following inscription: -

“Presented to G.Y.Mold (wrong spelling) by the trustees of Seymour Established Church upon the official stone-laying ceremony, follows the year, But the date is partly obliterated. The actual laying of the foundation stone was done on this occasion by Mrs. Mould, and it was thought that she was the first white woman ever to cross the Snowy River.

THE MOVE TO BOCONNOC

The Adaminaby business was apparently still running but Mould sought a permanent anchorage; He wanted at last to become a landowner, and pasture his own flocks and herds. And so he acquired his property at last, or at any-rate a major interest in it. He took over from Mr. F. J. Squires, an area of about 5000 acres, timbered hill and broad open valley across the plain a few miles from Adaminaby. Middlingbank Creek ran through the property, making it suit a well-watered area of good carrying capacity. Grandfather; still English, and Devonshire at that, named the property “Boconnoc", a name he knew from the fields of a Sir John Fortescue in Cornwall.    Here he settle his family, and took up, as he thought, his permanent abode, after his years of trading as a small business man and acting gratuitously as Doctor and

and Chemist in sleepy Adaminaby and the roaring Kiandra.

BOCONNOC HOMESTEAD

Boconnoc homestead was quite large and rambling, and built to last. It was situated on a gentle slope running down to the creek less than 100 yards away, and was built mainly of the local stone, which is a tough mottled grey granite. Broken into large blocks and cemented together by a tough mortar, the 10 or 12 in thick walls supported massive beams to carry a roof that may have been of shingle in those times, but became galvanised iron over the years. The old stone house was roomy enough. I examined the ruins of it this year (1962). It appears to have been built in the form of an L originally, but additions were probably made subsequently.

Remains of the old fireplaces and the stone walls ere all that now remains among a heap of rubble. Whatever glory there was has long since left old “Boconnoc” but this was Moulds original holding a hundred years ago, here he brought his wife and here they brought up their family, a family of 4, three sons and a daughter, Fred, (usually however, called Ted), George, and William, and daughter Bessie.

MARIA DEATH

Maria passed away in July 1867.

 

- Reg Mould’s Research Papers

 

But the Dr's skill at times is powerless, quite unable to forestall or delay the Dark Angel. His wife, Maria, died. She died at Boconnoc and was buried there, a short distance from the house, on the side away from the creek.

THE MOVE TO COOMA

For several years he had been a part time Chemist to Cooma, and with his new wife they moved to Cooma in 1873, leaving the sons to run the property.  They lived in Bombala Street.  There were already two Doctors in Cooma – Dr Schaeffer and Dr McQueen, so G Y M, who had been favourably known throughout the Monaro for 30 years, had to be strictly ethical.

- John Pattrick’s Research.

 

There was a group of shops in Massie Street which were demolished and Solomons Store was built by Henry Brae in 1902.  This is now Mitre 10.

- John Pattrick’s Research.

 

The Vale Street Pharmacy now known as “Hook’s Pharmacy: was founded in 1867 by Dr. George Yonge Mould and has served the people of Cooma and district for 91 years. The dispensary was carried on by Mr. Harry Scott. Dr. Mould was one of the pioneers of the Cooma district and his life story is one of sterling service in the interests of medicine in a huge area at a time when the population was widely scattered and communication facilities and transport difficult and unreliable.

- YOU CAN GET IT AT HOOK’S” Cooma-Monaro Express, Friday, November 21, 1958

 


 

 


 

In October of that year (1867) he opened a dispensary in the growing town of Cooma on part of the site now occupied by P.D. Murphy Pty Ltd., and conducted business there until he died on 1st January, 1883, leaving three sons and a daughter.

YOU CAN GET IT AT HOOK’S” Cooma-Monaro Express, Friday, November 21, 1958

 

Now he came to live in Cooma with his young bride, and Mould already with experience in business sought to establish himself in business in this town, Cooma was growing, albeit ambivalently. The old town grew at first round Cohen's Hotel on the corner of the main street with Bombala Street, the Post Office being Just opposite. Cohen's hotel was the coaching stage-house and the centre of the little growing business area.

 

But over the Hill, down across the next creek another hostelry and a small business area developed by the southern traffic. Cooma began as two small settlements. The hill between the two has now been built up and the twin villages are one town.

 

George Mould sought to acquire business interests and settle in Bombala Street. How extensive his business interests became is mostly conjecture now, but they included at least three lines, an estate agency, a newspaper, and a Pharmacy.    Documentary evidence of these is disclosed. A search at the Public Library, Sydney, produced a copy of the "Cooma Express" of August 7th, 1875. From this issue I glean the definite information that there were two other Doctors in Cooma at the time, Dr. Schaeffer and Dr. McQueen. I guess George Yonge Mould was, as usual, careful not to describe himself as a third. But here (under "Medical") is his advertisement: -

 

Cooma Dispensary.

 

G. Yonge Mould, of Trinity College, Dublin and of the University of Edinburgh, having now received a large and valuable supply of drugs, chemicals and c.

Has opened a dispensary in Cooma to which he proposes to devote all his attention. The establishment will be conducted in the same manner as is usual in a chemists and druggists shop in London and Sydney.

Prescriptions and receipts accurately dispensed.

Teeth extracted, sealed, filled or Artificial Teeth supplied. Perfumery & c. Monaro Baking Powder.

  - Opposite Cohen's Hotel.

   Private Residence, Bombala. Street.

 

I find another 1875 advertisement reading: -

 

G. Yonge Mould

Land Agent & c.

      Cooma.

Office:- Opposite Cohen’s Hotel

 

Then, most interesting of all, at the very end of this issue of Cooma Express and Monaro Advertiser:

 

      "Printed and published by the proprietor, George Yonge Mould

       at the Cooma Gazette Office, Massie Street, Cooma."

 

So the documentary evidence is clear, that George Yonge Mould was engaged in the Newspaper business, in real estate, in dispensing and in dentistry - surely enough business interests if they were sound. They were probably sound enough, but not richly rewarding, Mould and his young wife now began their family, and as the years pass on, daughter after daughter was born to them,  never a son. In all there were seven girls; one died, but the six Mould girls were well known in the Cooma of the 1870's and 80's. From all I can gather they were a happy and united family and this part of their childhood at least, was happy and unclouded. Relationships with the first Mould family of “Boconnoc" appear to have been perfectly friendly and affectionate.    They saw each other a good deal, and corresponded for many years.

So the years passed on, the Moulds living first in Bombala Street but later removing to Lambie St., in a house which still stands.

CAMDEN COTTAGE TODAY

Camden Cottage, 7 Lambie Street, Cooma, celebrates its centenary this year.

Camden Cottage was built in 1880 by Joseph Hain, son of James Hain who built the Lord Raglan Inn next door. Joseph Hain built a number of buildings in and around Cooma, and the bricks with which he built Camden Cottage bear his initials, ‘J.H.’.

Locally made rich red clay bricks, they were fired in a kiln in nearby Kerwan Street.

The first tenant was chemist George Yonge Mould.

Camden Cottage, Celebrating A Centenary - Monaro Express 1980

 

Nicknamed ‘Dr’ Mould because he had partially (needs to be researched?) completed the medical course at Dublin University. He arrived in Australia in the early 1840’s and was involved in a number of ventures before opening its dispensary in Cooma.

- Cooma Gazette

 

1874, July, Rev. Druitt and his wife met with serious accident between Christchurch and Mr Wilford’s residence – occupants of the vehicle were thrown out………. Mr Mould and his son, who were walking in the direction named, saw the accident and were immediately on the spot. The horse was seen passing the parsonage and Mr H Dawson and Mr Druitt’s son, suspecting that something had gone wrong, at once proceeded in the direction of Cooma to see what had happened. They, assisted by Messrs. Mould, conveyed the sufferers to the parsonage when professional assistance was secured……..no bones were broken………..the buggy was smashed to atoms. - Sydney Morning Herald

 

Cooma School of Arts, now located in Vale Street was founded sometime in 1876, under the Presidency of G Y Mould, with A Gale as Tres. And G T Miller as Sec. - From Moores Australian Almanac

 

THE PERSONALITY

 

…. the facts at my disposal permit me to conclude that this grandparent of mine was a man entirely worthy, very lovable, respected and held in high esteem by those who knew him, well read, studious and intellectual. But as far as I can gather, he never made money. - Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

SCHOOL OF ARTS

 

I have the impression that my Grandfather George was altogether too honest. If he had been smart, in the least bit sharp there must have been more money to be made. Business trading in early Adaminaby or Seymour, may have been only slow and steady, But after about ten years there, came the deluge: Gold!  After the first discoveries around Bathurst, other fields followed in quick succession, and then came the electrifying news of the Kiandra finds, and the swift build up of the Kiandra field. This was not just a small show - it was one of the best. It grew; it drained off the surrounding population and it absorbed hundreds, nay thousands of immigrants. It continued to grow and flourish. It grew into a huge show - a community that housed 10, then 20, and up to 30 thousands of people, and it stayed that way for some years.

- Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

A bank-teller in the early sixties, sent from Melbourne to the gold fields, landed at Eden and had to make his way overland via Begs and Cooma, to his appointment. He travelled horseback of course. Writing the account of his trip to the fields he

mentions, inter alia:-

"Stayed the next night at Dr. Mould's place where I was received with the greatest hospitality, in marked contrast to the previous camp, where they set the dogs on me."

Thus was "Dr. M" known throughout the area. Kindly, hospitable, always available when sickness or accident occurred, never charging a fee for his services - "a fine old English gentleman,” but not so old, yet.

- Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

George Yonge Mould had never styled himself as Doctor since he came to Monaro, but that didn't seem to matter. The people knew "Dr. Mould" and they liked what they knew of him, always a good conventional Church supporter, a prominent member of Masonic Lodge, always available when called upon to attend to those in trouble or sickness, free of cost.

- Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

He became known as Dr Mould, and folk had great faith in his medical ability. He is stated to have never charged a fee, but was prepared to go anywhere at any time.

THE SECOND MARRIAGE

 

SAM THICKNESS (Emily's Father)

- Pattrick Mould Collection

 

George Yonge Mould, in middle age, a widower, with three growing boys and a girl in her teens, was left to run Boconnoc which was still in debt. The boys were maturing and could work. The girl, of course, had to have an education befitting a lady, so a governess must be sought for her, and a governess of gentle upbringing, with the manners and graces of a lady. Where, in Monaro would such a one be found?  She wasn't. But she was found! She lived at Cambewarra.

Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

I do know that one of the branches of the Thickness family came to Australia, maybe in his official capacity, for he was a sea Captain- Captain James Thicknesse, Master Mariner, and evidently he settled in Sydney, for a son, John Samuel Thicknesse was born, Kent St., Sydney in 1846. Soon there followed another son, Frederick Peter Thickhesse, born at Chippendale in 1848. Later, in the year of the Crimean War, came the daughter, Augusta Emily Frances Thicknesse, born 3rd March 1854 at Wollongong, Five Islands.

 

JOHN THICKNESS (Emily's Brother)

- Pattrick Mould Collection

 

The Thicknesses all returned to England to be educated as of course was necessary, to befit the sons and daughters of the gentility. So Augusta Emily Thicknesse was sent home to England, How she reached there, after shipwreck and being picked up by a German schooner, are stories I dimly recall, but I cannot remember the name of the ship; my mother had a picture of it hanging in her bedroom, was it the Banks, Banker or Banksia? I cannot recall now, but it was a long time before they reached England, for the German ship was not bound there. In the long months spent on the German sailing ship a German officer was very friendly, and spent some of his free time teaching the young girl the German language. All of us learned to count in German as consequence. I can still do it.

- Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

 

 

MRS SAM THICKNESS (Emily's Mother)

-          Pattrick Mould Collection

 

 When young Augusta Emily, returned to Australia the family was at Cambewarra on the South Coast, and I suppose she was glad to see them, but I have practically no information relating to their lives there. This I do know: she became friendly with another girl about her own age, or a little older. Her name was Bessie Mould, daughter of "Dr." Mould of "Boconnoc", Cooma. Bessie invited her to spend a holiday at "Boconnoc", and she did so. Whether this was before or after the death of Dr. Mould's wife I cannot say, but the move was fateful, for soon the Dr. wanted a companion or governess for his daughter Bessie. The obvious choice was there, Augusta Emily!

  

 Here was the pretty, vivacious, cultivated little person quite suited to the position, although young. Miss Thicknesse moved into "Boconnoc".

 

 Remembering her as well as I do, it would be a safe guess for me to estimate what she did as governess at "Boconnoc". I would answer "Everything."  For never was there such a bundle of feminine dynamics. It would be perfectly safe to assume that she taught Bessie, cooked, plain and fancy, made bread, looked after the garden, sewed and made dresses, executed beautiful needlecraft, preserved fruit, made conserves – the whole works of everything befitting the woman of Queen Victoria’s day. Certainly nothing not classed as women's work. Not Emily  Thicknesse! I guess she never milked a cow, for instance, but I'll wager Dr. Mould’s household ran on oiled wheels!! Those busy, clever hands were never still. She would sit and talk, yes - she loved to, but while doing so, those fingers would be nimbly and busily work upon some piece of needlecraft, knitting, crocheting, tatting or embroidering.

- Glen Hall's, George Yonge Mould 1962

 

 How long George Mould remained a widower is not known, but in 1870 he and Emily Thicknesse were married. He had every evidence of how her influence and management must have held his household together after the death of the first Mrs. Mould. She must have proved a treasure, one he did not wish to relinquish to some younger man. I can well understand it. She really was somebody. Of course there was a great difference in their ages. He must have been a man in his fifties – she a mere girl of 16.

THE PASSING OF GEORGE YONGE MOULD

Came the fateful year 1882 or 3 (uncertainty here), The death of the old "Dr"! He was not old, as men sometimes lived; he contracted a chill from which he did not recover. The pen fell from his hands as he was trying to write a prescription for himself. My grandmother had this pathetic piece of writing for many years. The girls, those who were old enough always had strong recollections of the terrible time when their beloved "Pa" died. He was always "Pa" to them, although Grandma was always simply "Mother". Perhaps the first family called him “Father”. The young Mrs. Mould was to them "Mother Gussie" and later, Grandma Gussie”.

He left a number of sons and daughters and was a deservedly popular resident, as a newspaper account for the time testifies. The account tells of an ‘entertainment’ held by Cooma minstrels on January 26 and 27, 1883, on behalf of the late GE (Y.) Mould. ‘The deceased was an old resident of Monaro’, it reads. ‘The concerts were well attended and credit is due to Messrs. Walker, Bradley, Vernon and Gill, and the other artists, the newspaper proprietors (who gave the advertisement gratis) and all concerned, who worked well to give the widow a good benefit.’
