HOWE, GEORGE TERRY (1806-1863), printer and publisher, was born on 18 December 1806 in Sydney, the second son of George Howe and Elizabeth Easton. In 1824 he went to Van Diemen's Land where at Launceston on 5 January 1825 he founded the Tasmanian and Port Dalrymple Advertiser, of which twenty weekly issues appeared, the last on 18 May. In that month Lieutenant-Governor (Sir) George Arthur persuaded Howe to bring his press to Hobart Town and join James Ross in producing an official Hobart Town Gazette. The first issue appeared on 25 June. Early in 1827 Howe parted from Ross and re-established the Tasmanian, in Hobart. It began publication on 3 March that year. In August Howe handed over the Tasmanian to John Macdougall and returned to Sydney.

Mary Ann Risdon Howe, eldest sister of G. T. Howe, married John Cowell of the Church Missionary Society. Some time after his return to Sydney Howe visited his sister in New Zealand where he had a son by a Maori woman of noble birth. Howe died at Chippendale, Sydney, on 6 April 1863. He had married Sarah Bird (d.1871) in Sydney on 16 September 1824; they had a son and six daughters.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).

I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
