Notes about George Larnach

The following information is supplied by Marie Larnach;

George was born in Watten, Caithness, Scotland on 31 October, 1800. The following taken from the baptisms from the parish records of Wick: '31 October, 1800, William Larnach, alias Sutherland, blacksmith in Wick had by his wife, Margaret Smith, a child baptised George. Witnesses Alexander Sutherland, merchant in Wick and Alexander Sutherland, blacksmith in Wick.'

George and Mary left Greenock, Scotland on 12 May, 1838 and arrived Sydney aboard the 'William Rogers' on 26 September, 1838 as bounty immigrants. On board the ship were 260 migrants and of these fourteen died during the trip and thirty seven more were put into quarantine on arrival due to an outbreak of smallpox during the voyage. Two of the 37 people put into quarantine included the captain, Captain Hall and Mary Larnach.

George and Mary's religion was listed as Church of Scotland. They had with them their six children, William 13, Margaret 12, John 10, George 8, Frederick 6 and Margery aged 4. George was described as being 35 years of age, a farm overseer, could read and write and belongs to the Church of Scotland. George's native place given as Watten, Caithness, Scotland. His state of bodily health, strength and probable usefulness was listed as very good. Under remarks it was noted that he had complained of the scarcity of water.

Mary was 34 years old, a dairywoman, could read and write and she also belonged to the Church of Scotland. A native of Fort George, Nairnshire, Scotland. State of bodily health, strength and probable usefulness was listed as being at the present time a convalescent at quarantine.

George and Mary took up their selection on 'Ettlesdale', Caloola on the Queen Charlotte's Vale Creek, near Bathurst. George became the owner of the original 'Ettlesdale' under a grant by purchase by Queen Victoria and signed by Governor Sir George Gipps, dated 5 February, 1841. Over the years more land was acquired, besides 'Ettlesdale', near Newbridge. They also bought 'Ferndale' in the same area. During the earlier settlement, a member of the Larnach family (George Jnr.) lived at Bald Ridge for a time.

There are a number of tales about the property, 'Ettlesdale'. John Samuel Larnach, son of Donald Larnach, who lived at 'Ettlesdale' in the first quarter of the 1900's, gave to Kenneth (son of John Edmund Larnach) and his wife, Gwendoline, of 'The Willows', a stirling silver egg cruet and 6 silver stemmed egg cups and 6 silver egg spoons, mounted on a silver stand. This was a wedding present in 1917. They occupied pride of place on the dining room sideboard of 'The Willows'. One morning in November, 1927, a crash was heard from the dining room. Gwendoline went to investigate and found one of the silver eggcups had fallen and snapped in two. Later that morning word came from Newbridge Village that John Samuel Larnach had dropped dead at 'Ettlesdale' wool shed at precisely the time of the unexplained breakage of the silver eggcup. Not long after Samuel's death, his brother Donald took over 'Ettlesdale' and a couple of years later the magnificent old two-storey homestead was burnt to the ground. It was rebuilt generally to the design of the original but unfortunately the wonderful old timbers of the original structure could not be obtained. There is an old quince tree on the 'Ettlesdale' property which marks the place where George and Mary built their first slab hut.
