Assisted Passage WHITELEY/LONG
« on: Sunday 16 December 07 18:47 GMT (UK) »

I have had no luck in tracking down anything about my mum's auntie and hope maybe somebody can point me in the right direction.

She was Annie Elizabeth Farnell, known as Tizzy. She was born 1894 in Hull, Yorkshire.
She married Harold Long in 1914, then Cyril Whiteley in 1931.
All my mum remembers is that she and her 4 youngest children went to Australia on the assisted passage scheme. I have just discovered information that makes it likely she was still in Hull in 1952. Could this be correct? I thought the assisted passage scheme was earlier.

I do not know when they left, where they left from, nor which area of Australia they sailed to. Neither do I know where to look!! 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The family was:-
Annie Elizabeth WHITELEY (Whitely) b. 1894 Hull
Douglas LONG b. 1923, Hull
Jean WHITELEY b. 1933 Cottingham, Hull
June WHITELEY b. 1934 Cottingham, Hull
Malcolm WHITELEY b. 1937 Drypool, Hull
(not sure if her husband Cyril Whiteley went with them or not )

Thank You,
Gill

Thanks for that.
Not sure if there's any link to Cyril Whiteley (although I believe he was born West Yorks - I'll have to follow that up further)

But it certainly made interesting reading.

Thanks again,
Gill

Hi Gill,

Did you see the nine pages on National Archives website relating to Douglas Long. - departed Southampton on the SS Moreton Bay on 24 August 1949 - arrived in Brisbane 17 October 1949.

http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/imagine.asp?B=5048801&I=1&SE=1

Whereas Malcolm and Jean ( it would appear) went to Adelaide separately.

Hello  there  I  found  this  information  regarding Emmigration  to Oz

"Fact Sheet
4. More than 60 Years of Post-war Migration
On this page

Early migration waves
Post-war developments
Today's migration
The impact of immigration
Statistical summary


Since 1945, around 6.5 million people have come to Australia as new settlers. Their contribution to Australian society, culture and prosperity has been an important factor in shaping our nation.

A large-scale program of migration to Australia began at the end of World War II when millions of people in Europe were displaced from their homelands. At the same time, in Australia, there was a desperate shortage of labour and a growing belief that substantial population growth was essential for the country's future.

These and other factors led to the creation of a federal immigration portfolio in 1945.

By 1947, a post-war immigration boom was under way, with a large and growing number of arrivals including those on government-assisted passage.
Agreements were reached with the United Kingdom, some European countries and the International Refugee Organisation (IRO) to encourage migrants, including displaced persons from war-torn Europe, to come to Australia. By 1950, almost 200 000 people had arrived.

A million more migrants arrived in each of the following four decades. Today, nearly one in four of Australia's more than 20 million population were born overseas. New Zealand and the United Kingdom are the largest source countries for migrants, but other regions – notably Asia – have become more significant.

Early migration waves
The date of the first human occupation in Australia remains an open question, but evidence exists that humans have been on the continent for at least 40 000 years. Consequently, the Aboriginal people are regarded as the indigenous people of Australia.

Transported criminals were the basis of the first migration from Europe. Starting in 1788, some 160 000 convicts were shipped to the Australian colonies. From the early 1790s, free immigrants also began coming to Australia.

The rapid growth of the wool industry in the 1820s created enormous demands for labour and sparked an increase in the migration of free people from the United Kingdom. The social upheavals of industrialisation in Britain also resulted in many people emigrating to escape widespread poverty and unemployment.

During the Golden Rush era of 1851 to 1860, early migration peaked at arrivals of around 50 000 people a year. During this period, Chinese immigrants were the largest non-British group.

Over the years, the migration program reflected economic or social conditions in Australia and elsewhere. For example:

during the 1840s a large number of Irish immigrants came to Australia to escape famine in their homeland
from the 1860s to the late nineteenth century, labourers from Melanesia were recruited to work on Queensland plantations
from the 1860s to the 1920s, concerns about population imbalance resulted in deliberate efforts to attract women to Australia
during the second half of the nineteenth century, Afghani, Pakistani and Turkish camel handlers played an important part in opening up the continent's interior, facilitating the construction of telegraph and railway lines, and
Japanese fishers were instrumental in the pearling industry in the late nineteenth century.
The two world wars also influenced Australia's migration program. The resettling of ex-servicemen, refugees and young people were significant chapters in Australian immigration history.

Post-war developmentsThe most ambitious part of Australia's migration program followed the end of World War II. Australia negotiated agreements with other governments and international organisations to help achieve high migration targets.

The agreements included:

a system of free or assisted passages for United Kingdom residents
an assisted passage scheme for the British Empire and United States ex-servicemen, later extended to ex-servicemen or resistance fighters from The Netherlands, Norway, France, Belgium and Denmark
an agreement with the IRO to settle at least 12 000 displaced people a year from camps in Europe
formal migration agreements, often involving the grant of assisted passage, with the United Kingdom, Malta, The Netherlands, Italy, West Germany, Turkey and Yugoslavia, and
informal migration agreements with Austria, Greece, Spain, Belgium and other countries.
These agreements are no longer in force.

Economic and humanitarian events around the world subsequently influenced the size and source countries of the Australian program. At various times in the 1950s and 1960s, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Yugoslavia were important migrant source countries.

There were also significant intakes:

of Hungarian and Czech refugees following unrest in those countries in 1956 and 1968 respectively
from Chile following the overthrow of the Allende Government in 1973
from Indochina after the end of the Vietnam war in 1975, and
from Poland after martial law was declared in December 1981.
Today the migration program is global, using one set of criteria for applicants anywhere in the world, with migrants originating from more than 185 countries"


Hope  you  will  find  this  information  interesting.

I have   found a  death  in South Australia on  the SAGH's data bases
for  Anie Elizabeth Whiteley in 1986 

the  Sagh's site does offer a  look up  service for a small fee of $5.00
but  maybe some  fellow rootchatters  might be able  to do a newspaper check for  you?

Hello  there Marie

Yes Marie  I too found it a fascinating  insight  into  how  our migration system has developed. 
My  own  Husband came  out in 1961 from  Sril Lanka/Ceylon as did most of  his  fathers brothers and sister, allthough two of them  went to England! 

My  earliest settlers were  in 1836  to Tasmania, then 1850 into Adelaide for another side of the family.

What fantastic information !!
I can't wait to show my mum all the information about Douglas Long!
I have just found his mums address via his grandfather's death certificate (my mum said he was living with his daughter although her name was not on the certificate) and was very surprised to see it was only a few yards from where I worked!
It was whilst discussing Douglas' (and my mum's) grandfather that mum remembered Douglas visiting him in hospital to feed him (He died in hospital in 1952). That is why we thought the family must have emigrated sometime after 1952. As is so often the case, my mum's memory must have got a little muddled as Douglas left in 1949! But it's definately him.
I am not surprised he  and the rest of the family left separately, as he was much older, but I wonder what happened to June.

Thank You so much again.
Merry Christmas,
Gill


PS Tropicalj, you say the saghs does a look up service, but can you actually obtain the certificates from them?

Hello  there

No  SAGHS  don't supply  the certificates  you  have to  contact  the  SA Registery of Bdm's


http://www.ocba.sa.gov.au/bdm/links.html


they are on  line but  the  information is not as good  as some of  the  other states  here  is  what you will  find  on  the death certificates courtesy  of SHANKO's posting

DEATHS

1842-1907

Date of Death
Name
Sex
Age
Occupation
Usual Residence
Cause of Death
Place of Death
Informant


1908-1947

Date and Place of Death
Name
Sex
Age
Occupation
Usual Residence
Birthplace
Length of Residence in Commonwealth
Age at Marriage 
Number of Issue Living and Deceased
Cause of Death
Place of Death
Informant


1948-1967
As for 1908-1947 with the addition of

Place of Burial

1968-1992
As for 1948-1967 with the addition of

Conjugal Status
Name of Spouse

Deaths after March 1992
As for 1968-1992 with the addition of

Parent's names
Name, Date of Birth of Issue, Living and Deceased


so for a  1986  certificate  it will  not have Parent's names
Name, Date of Birth of Issue, Living and Deceased


now  on  the SAGH's site  you  will  find  the following  information
Transcription Service NEW!

The Society holds copies of South Australian District BDM records. We are not permitted to provide copies of these. At present, copies are only available from the South Australian Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. However, we may provide a full transcription of all the information recorded on a certificate.

There is a set  fee of $11.00 per certificate (members and non-members), inclusive of GST.

More than one certificate can be requested on a form, but the fee is $11 for each certificate requested. (E.g., 2 Certificates = $22)
To use this service, please complete the Transcription Request Form and forward it to the Research Service. The Society will record the information it holds on the particular entry or entries and forward the results by mail.  The date range of Certificates varies for each District. Adelaide District records are as follows, and in the very early years they covered the whole of South Australia:

Births: 1842 – 1928
Deaths: 1842 – 1967
Marriages: 1842 – 1937


So  you  can  obtain  a  transcribed copy  of the death certificate  but  not a registered copy  from SAGH's certainly better priced  that an  official copy at $36.75

Hi,

I checked the Yorkshire BDM to see if June had married, but couldnt find anything. Likewise a death of Cyril (but site only goes up to 1973 deaths).

Given that mum came out with June's older sister Jean in 1956, I cannot see her leaving her behind, unless June didnt want to come and went to live with friends/relatives Undecided

Yep. I've drawn a blank there also.

Whilst looking for passenger list records ... (Just where did you find out about which ship they went over on, by the way? i couldn't find them)  .... whilst looking for passenger lists, I have discoverd where and when Annie Elizabeth was buried! In Jamestown cemetry.It gives the exact plot and who officiated, but cause of death is unknown. Must have had a decent life out there though - she was 91 when she died.

Hello  there 
I had contacted the "Ask a Librarian " service at the State Library of South Australia
and received the following reply.  They do a very good  service allowing four free pieces of information a  year no charge Smiley
Quote


I refer to your request for a copy of the funeral or death notice for Annie/Anne Elizabeth WHITELY.

I have located her death and funeral notice in the Advertiser newspaper of 15 May 1985, giving her date of death as 14 May 1985.

I have printed a copy from the microfilm version of the Advertiser and will be posting it to you shortly. The copy is gratis in this instance.  If further copies are required a cost may be incurred.

 

Regards

 

So  I  will receive a copy in  the  mail  in  the  next week or so  allowing for Christmas Mail  and  will  post it too the thread  in due  course

Hopefully  it  may  throw futher light on  the rest of the family.

Merry Christmas
Jenn

She was Annie Elizabeth Farnell, known as Tizzy. She was born 1894 in Hull, Yorkshire.
She married Harold Long in 1914, then Cyril Whiteley in 1931.

(not sure if her husband Cyril Whiteley went with them or not )

Thank You,
Gill

Gill there are quite a few Cyril Whiteleys who have died in the UK since 1984,do you have a middle name or DOB for him?
