Personal Notes:

ELIZABETH OAKMAN nee Money.

by GIenda Mason

I was born in 1823 at Front Street, Little Thetford Cambridge, England and my parents were Reuben Money and Phoebe Moden. I married Thomas Oakman on 21 September 1844 in a small stone church in Little Thetford near Ely in Cambridge. Thomas Oakman was born 1818 in lsle of Ely and baptised in 1823 at Thetford, Cambridge; his parents were Thomas Oakman and Sarah Sadler. We lived at number 2 Hopkin Green Lane, Thetford.

Your father and I together with your Uncle William and Aunt Ann have been thinking and talking of Ieaving this land of ours and going to Australia, and we have at last made up our minds to go. There was a very heavy fall of snow overnight and the trees are laden with snow, it looks very pretty. We have had a letter from the immigration people and we leave on the ship Blundell in January.

This will be our last Christmas together with our parents, and we have a lot of packing to do and must go and visit the grave of our baby Phoebe who was born in 1842 and died the same year.

The New Year 1853 has not started very well for us, our son, Daniel has died, he was baptised 7 April 1844, and we have just come from the graveyard and now we must leave our home to make our way to Plymouth for our ship sails on the tide 17 January 1853.

We are at the dock now and I call to Thomas and Mary. Look how tall the ship is, and it weighs 573 tons, and the gentleman who is going to make sure that we all arrive safely in Australia is Captain Lumley. We have a Doctor on board with us and his name is Dr. Smith and there are 280 government emigrants. Our baby Richard is asleep in my arms and knows nothing of our trip. Your Uncle William and Aunt Ann and cousins Thomas and William are with us, so at least we will have someone that we know. I am glad that your father can read and write because although William, Ann and I can read, we haven't mastered the art of writing.

After a wonderful voyage we have arrived at Port Jackson in New South Wales. The date is Thursday 5 May 1853, a cool, cloudy day with light airs and breezes throughout the day. We will spend a few days in Sydney Town whilst your father looks for work.

The weather is getting slightly cooler and today we had a little rain. Your father has found work at a place called Bankstown, working on a farm, just like he did at home in Thetford.

We have a small house with earthen floors in Sydney Road, Bankstown. lt has a couple of rooms and my cooking stove is outside under a lean-to. I have a large tub outside and light a fire beneath it to do my washing, I have a small vegetable garden and we have a cow and a few chickens.

I am having another infant who will be our first Australian born child. I do worry about Richard, he has just started to walk and Thomas, who is only five years old and his sister, Mary is three years old, have to watch him for me when I am washing, I am afraid they might get burnt.

There have been times when my husband Thomas has been away in the bush cutting timber for a few days at a time. Our son Thomas has made friends with a few of the aboriginal children and they get on well. I have been delivered of a little girl Elizabeth on 15 October 1854.

We had a letter from William the other week and thought we might make our way down towards Wagga Wagga, William lives at Tarradale near Tumbarumba in the mountains. lt is lonely here without the closeness of family, and although we have made many friends, it's not the same as family.

Today, dear Mary, who turned 10 last month, made her first cake. She is turning into a good little cook, and is very helpful around the house. The boys are learning to help their father on the farm.

The children are all very healthy and growing tall. I am glad we came out here. We are still thinking about moving closer to William and Ann as they tell us of the opportunities that are available down that way and gold has been discovered there, so the little towns are booming.

We came to Australia with three children in 1853 and now in 1866 we have another 7 and shortly we will leave this area and travel to Wagga Wagga. On our way we will visit William and his family at Tarradale near Tumbarumba.

We have found a village called Humula, it is almost half-way between Adelong and Wagga Wagga and have decided to stay here. There is a school called Umbango Provisional School and our children have to travel one and a half miles to get there. We have a small property just outside the town and we run 200 to 300 sheep.

Our son Thomas married a sweet girl, Sarah Goode in Gundagai just before Christmas this year, 1872, and Mary married last year a Jeremiah O'Keefe.

All our children have grown up and we have moved from the farm to a house in School Street, Humula, and have bought the Royal National Hotel. lt was built by Bob Cheney and Joe Hughes was its first publican.

On looking back it was sad to leave our families in England but now, in the twilight years of our life, when we look back on everything we have done, we are content with our lot. We have been very happy since coming to Australia and the children have all married and have families of their own.

My dear husband Thomas has worked very hard all his life and is now 81 years old and he is not keeping good health.

There is talk about all the States joining together to form a Commonwealth of Australia.

I am afraid Thomas took a turn for the worst and died on 6th May 1899 and was buried in the cemetery at Humula, NSW on 8th May.

I still live in the house in School Street by myself and my grandchildren come and visit me whenever they get the chance. I have lost my daughter Susanna Jane and my son Henry.

There is great excitement - Australia is to become a Commonwealth on the lst January, 1901 and lam now 82 years old. There will be great celebrations in Sydney and our village will be holding their own celebrations. The children are putting on a play and will be singing songs they have learnt at school, the shops are decorated and some of the houses are also decorated. How wonderful to be part of all this. I have lived here for 50 years and have not regretted leaving England, though at first I did miss everyone very much and at times was dreadfully homesick, but work helps to cure many things.

I am not feeling very well today. Winter has come early this year and I am so very tired. I have just had my 85th birthday and I am content and ready to meet my maker.

Elizabeth Oakman died 10 May, 1904 and was buried with her husband on 12 May,1904 in the cemetery Humula NSW.
