Person Exhibits

Birth

Private James Reed, 80th Regiment of Foot, was born on 14 December 1808 at Ash Green in Trentham.1,2,3 He was baptized on 22 January 1809 at St Mary and All Saints church in Trentham, Stone, Staffordshire, England.1 He witnessed the baptism of James ("Jimmy") Reed on 5 April 1835 in Manchester, England.4 Private James Reed, 80th Regiment of Foot, the father of Alexander Reed, presented him for baptism on 26 July 1837 in Linden, NSW.5 Private James Reed, 80th Regiment of Foot, witnessed the baptism of Sarah Ann Reed on 26 May 1844 in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Robert Luxford's "Reed Family History" mentions "When Sarah Ann Reed (born 21st March) was baptised on 26th May, 1844. the address was shown as York Street, so it appears that James Reed had set himself up in a shop on the corner just across the way from the Barracks which he had just left. Clearly, if the military life no longer held any appeal, the company of his old colleagues was still attractive (as also their custom)."6,7 He witnessed the baptism of Prudence Reed on 30 August 1846 in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Robert Luxford's "Reed Family History" mentions "another baptismal record - Prudence, August 1846 (born July). (Her father) had become a constable in Kent Street. Previously the babies were baptised in St James or St Philip's church, the two nearest the Barracks. Prudence was baptised at St Andrews which suggests that James was stationed at the watch immediately behind the still incomplete cathedral."6,8

Residence information

Private James Reed, 80th Regiment of Foot, was travelling on 13 January 1831 in Kephalonia.12 He was travel on 10 March 1831 in Portsmouth, England.12 He was travel on 30 May 1831 in Stafford, Staffordshire.12 He was travel on 5 January 1832 in Manchester, England.12 He was travel on 2 June 1832.12 He was travel on 3 June 1832 in Dublin, Ireland.12 He was travel on 10 October 1832 in Dublin, Ireland.12,13 He was travel on 11 October 1832 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. "While at Belfast many parties were sent out at different periods for the purpose of assisting the Civil Power in collecting tithes..."12,13 He was travel on 25 July 1833 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.12 He was travel on 7 April 1834 in Dublin, Ireland.12 He was travel on 24 April 1834 in Liverpool, England.12 He was travel on 1 May 1834 in Blackburn, Lancashire.12 He was travel on 17 October 1834 in Manchester, England.12 He was travel on 4 May 1835 in Liverpool, England.12 He was travel on 7 September 1835 in Chatham. They arrived at Chatham on 7 October 1835.12 He emigrated on 25 July 1836. "James Reed and his family embarked on the "Earl Grey" on 25th July, 1836. The military party consisted of 5 officers, a sergeant and 29 rank and file, 3 officers' wives, five women and seven children. There were 45 in the crew."
"According to Surgeon Evans, the ship was new and very damp, so several of the guard suffered 'catarrhal affliction'. To dry out the ship, fires were burnt between decks and the barracks and prison 'dry holy stoned with hot sand and lime' - this during the voyage from Deptford to Kingstown, Ireland, to embark the convicts." "During the passage to Ireland little John Reed took sick with croup. ... The little boy was bled and given aperient powders to make him vomit, to the extent that his 'countenance became pale and sunk' and 'symptoms of sinking of the powers of life were manifest - the powders were discontinued...' - all on the first day! It took him two weeks to recover from this treatment."6 John and James traveled to on 27 August 1836. "The convicts were embarked in two groups - 91 at Kingstown and 192 at Cork, plus 'five free boys (the sons of convicts in the Colony)'. So the ship sailed on 27th August with 384 persons on board." "Sentry duty was carried out around the clock and the men on guard were regularly inspected by the officer in charge. Soldiers could be reported and punished for such offences as insolence, quarrelling, dirty weapons, sitting down while on guard, sleeping on guard or talking to the prisoners"6 John and James traveled to in November 1836. "The voyage took 126 days from Cork to Sydney. The surgeon's account indicates that generally it was without incident. He complains of the heat and expresses concern for the health of the convicts in his charge. At his insistence the vessel called at Capetown in November to take on 'fresh beef, mutton and vegetables for the Guard and convicts'. Scurvy was affecting a number of the convicts by this time, but it cleared up very quickly afterwards. In all, three convicts died on the voyage"6 Private James Reed, 80th Regiment of Foot, immigrated on 31 December 1836 to Sydney, NSW, Australia. "The ship arrived in Sydney on 31st December 1836. 'The weather proved remarkably fine and unusually dry' wrote the surgeon. The next day the convicts were marched to the Barracks to be inspected by the Governor (Sir Richard Bourke). The safe arrival of the ship and its assorted company was briefly reported in the Sydney Gazette. The officers and their wives are mentioned by name. James Reed, his wife and children are not mentioned - just '29 rank and file of the 28th, 50th and 80th Regiments, 5 women and 7 children'."6,14 He lived at Sydney Barracks in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, on 3 January 1837. "Until July, 1837 the Regiment was based at Sydney Barracks. It then moved its headquarters to Windsor. It supplied detachments to a variety of locations to act as guards for convict work gangs."6 He was travel on 31 July 1838 in Windsor, New South Wales, Australian Colonies. "The detachment stationed hitherto at 17 Mile Hollow on the Bathurst Road was relieved by one from the 28th Regiment in July and rejoined Head Quarters."13 He and Frances Heazle lived at Wollongong Stockade in Wollongong, NSW, Australia, on 7 November 1841.15 He and Frances Heazle lived at Nichol Street in Surry Hills, NSW, in 1842. This must have been another family. They were church opf Scotland and had two females who were older than any of the members of our family. Also, this family was recorded at the same address on the electoral roll a year later, when our family was known to have moved to Wollongong.16 He lived at Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in 1845, a house of stone and shingles valued at 15 pounds and owned by Thomas Leary, rented weekly.17 He and Frances Heazle lived in a dwelling house at Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1848.18 He lived at 68 Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in 1848, a house of brick and shingles valued at 13 pounds and owned by Thomas Whitney.19 He lived at Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in 1851, a brick and shingle house valued at 8 pounds and owned by the Trustee of R Wilson.20 He and Frances Heazle lived in a dwelling house at Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1851.21 He lived at Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in 1852, a brick and shingle house valued at 8 pounds and owned by the Trustee of R Wilson.22 He lived at Back of Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in 1854, a house of stone and shingle valued at 22 pounds and owned by Stubbs.23,24 He lived at 165 Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in June 1858, a dwelling house of brick and shingle valued at 40 pounds and owned by Joseph Spinks.25,26 He lived at 78 Kent Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in December 1858, a house of stone and shingles valued at 24 pounds and onwed by John Glover.27,28 He and Frances Heazle lived a house of wood and shingle owned by George Atherton at 37 Cambridge Street, the Rocks, in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1861. It is possible that this record could relate to a different James Reed. The John Reed (waterman) who lived next door could have been his son, John Benjamin Reed, then aged 29 years. Note that these two houses are bracketed together in the City of Sydney Assessment Book for 1861 (page 12) and rented together. They were worth a combine 28 pounds.29,30 He lived at 171 Clarence Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in 1861, a house of wood and shingle valued at 45 pounds owned by Mrs Jones. A year later this house was occupied by Bernard Devine and owned by Patrick Irwin (who also owned the house next door)31 He lived at 80 Kent Street in Sydney, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, in 1861, a large house of stone and shingles valued at 36 pounds and owned by John Glovett. A year later this house was occupied by the owner James Glovett (who also oned and occupied number 78 next door)28 He was migration about 1862 in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. "James' and Frances' obituaries in the 'Western Herald' are quite specific that the family moved to Bourke in 1862... The year is significant because it marks the beginning of land selection under the provisions of the Robertson land acts. For several years there had been severe unemployment in Sydney and agitation for land reform, that is, to allow small selectors to move in on the great holdings of the squatters, was vigorous. Provision was made for Crown lands to be selected 'at a price of £1 per acre, with an initial payment of 25 percent and the remainder within three years'."
"From 1860 it was possible to travel as far as Penrith by train, by Cobb & Co. coach to Dubbo, then by whatever transport was available (frequently horseback) for 400 miles to Bourke. It is likely that the Reeds had to organise their own transport to carry household goods and the women and children"6,32 He and Frances Heazle lived at Darling Street in North Bourke, New South Wales, Australian Colonies, on 5 April 1891. The household included 1 male and 1 female.33

Death

Private James Reed, 80th Regiment of Foot, witnessed the death of William John Reed on 7 October 1865 in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. He had been staying with his grandparents in Bourke for six months. He is the fourth person on record as having drowned at Bourke. Two drowned in 1863 (Empire Newspaper 23/2/1864) and Charles Banks drowned in March 1865 (Empire Newspaper 21/3/1865). The newspaper article must be mistaken about the identity of his parents. It states that his uncle James Reed was his father, but the baptism records clearly shows that his parents were John Reed and Eliza J. This is confirmed by the newspaper article about the later death of his sister, Frances Eliza Reed.65,66,67,68 Private James Reed, 80th Regiment of Foot, died from senile decay on 30 January 1898 at age 89 at North Bourke in Bourke.
