MAUGER

Family History

The Mauger family was first found on the Isle of Guernsey Channel Islands. The surname Mauger is one of the oldest in Channel Islands and occurs in the very early histories of both Jersey and Guernsey. It is believed to have originated from Archbishop Mauger de Rouen, the uncle of William the Conquerer. William is reputed to have banished Mauger to Guernsey in 1055. He settled in Saints Bay, where he met a young girl called Guille or Giselle and had several children.

Mary Anne Jane ELLIS FAMILY TREE Three sons of William ELLIS and Margaret TYLER, born in Kent England, immigrated to Australia, William, George born c. 1831 and Henry born c.1834. They arrived in Sydney in December 1853 on board the ship "Herefordshire". Henry and George both travelled to the gold fields at Silver Creek, near Beechworth Victoria.
`Located on the Stanley Road, (heading from Beechworth to Stanley) just over Silver Creek on the left (Cnr of Mauger Lane)- was The Australian Arms Hotel (1856-1876). It was sold by Edwin Warden to Henry ELLIS in 1862. George ELLIS purchased the hotel from his brother (Henry ELLIS) in December 1870 and ran it with his wife Jane until about 1876 after which no further record can be found.`
Prior to moving to Silver Creek, Victoria George ELLIS married in Sydney NSW on 24 May 1855 to Jane JENKIN/S (daughter of William Edward JENKINS and Mary Ann JENKINS) and had 6 children. ______________________________________ Jane JENKINS was Baptised on 25 December 1836 in the parish of Shoreditch, St Leonard, Borough of Hackney (East London), then Middlesex, England. The residence was listed as "Ann's Place" and her father William's occupation was shoe maker, which was one of the major jobs in this area at the time. In the Census of 1841, the family was in the same area - St Leonard, Shoreditch, Ossulstore, Tower Division. (Tower Hamlets) William JENKINS (JANKINS), aged 40, labourer Mary JENKINS, 45 Thomas JENKINS, aged 15, labourer James JENKINS, 15 Sarah JENKINS, 15 Elizabeth JENKINS, 10 Jane JENKINS, 4. By the census in 1851, Jane's siblings had left home and the address was listed as Kingsland Road, Middlesex, Shoreditch. William JENKINS, aged 81?, occupation - cut work Mary JENKINS, aged 52?, occupation - green grocer Jane JENKINS, aged 14 In 1853, a Jane JENKINS immigrated to Australia aged 19, travelling as a single female, not being a member of a family, her occupation is listed as Genl Servant and place of birth - Shoreditch. Jane JENKINS arrived in Sydney on board the ship "Talavera" on 6 September 1853. ________________________________________ Our George owned the Australian Arms Hotel at Silver Creek Beechworth Victoria until 1874/76 afterwhich no records have been found, he either disappeared or died. `Many years later a George ELLIS turned up and is listed as land owner in Mulwala area (took up land at Boomanoonana NSW in 1890). We next find this George ELLIS dead on 24 October 1891 in a police report.` `New South Wales Police Gazette 1891` `The suspicious death of George Ellis 24 Oct 1891 at Mulwala NSW. A Police report has a constable from Mulwala Police Station identifying the body.` _______________________________________ After the disappearance or death of her husband, George ELLIS in about 1874, it is not sure what became of Jane JENKINS. However on 28 July 1875,a baby named John ELLIS died at 2 days old at Silver Creek, his mother is listed as Jessie Jane ELLIS and the father is John ELLIS, miner. The informant is John Bennett RICHARDS and the baby is buried in the Beechworth Cemetery in the Wesleyan Section, no number recorded. It could be that Jane ELLIS (nee JENKINS) became pregnant to John RICHARDS after her husband George had left and changed her name and details slightly. So this maybe our Jane ELLIS (nee JENKINS). On 20 May 1882, this Jessie Jane ELLIS, aged 43 married John Bennett RICHARDS, aged 46 (born at Cornwall England son of John RICHARDS,farmer and Johanna RICHARDS (nee BENNETT), bachelor at Silver Creek, Beechworth. Jessie is listed as a widow since 1784 and has 6 living children and 1 deceased child from her previous marriage. Jessie was born in London England to parents, Edward William JENKINS, carpenter and Mary Ann JENKINS (nee "unreadable"?) On 5 May 1892, Jessie Jane RICHARD, housewife of Silver Creek dies after 5 years of "cancer of the womb". Her parents are listed as Edward William JENKINS, carpenter and Mary Ann JENKINS (formerly GEORGE). She was born in London and had been in Victoria for 35 years. She married at age 45 in Beechworth to John Bennett RICHARDS and had no issue. `Jessie Jane RICHARDS is buried with her husband John Bennett RICHARDS in the Beechworth Cemetery in the Church of England section. It is possible that this is our Jane ELLIS (nee JENKINS). ________________________________________` George ELLIS and Jane ELLIS (nee JENKINS) had 6 children: Mary Jane ELLIS (#2273 born 12 Oct 1856 at 1856 Dowling Street Camperdown, Sydney NSW).

THE MAUGER and ELLIS FAMILIES IN SILVERCREEK VIC.

Extracts taken from "Silver Threads and Golden Needles The early history of Silver Creek, Beechworth" written by M. Rosalyn Shennan.

Gold was first discovered in this area in 1852 and in November 1852, the population of May Day Hills (now Beechworth) was in excess of 1200, most of them "Sydney Immigrants". One of the biggest rushes at Silver Creek took place in June 1856, with 600 claims marked in that week. By the end of 1856 the population was about 13,000 (nearly 2000 were Chinese).

The Australia Arms hotel was established on the main road from Beechworth to Stanley. Mr Edwin Warden was the licensee.

By the 1860's, some reef mining was taking place at Silver Creek. On 9 October 1863, William Mauger & Co had registered a claim at Silver Creek. The locality was described as "Creek Claim, 4 men, Junction Spring and Silver Creeks". The mining population was continuing to decline and by December 1864 there were reported to be 38 miners at Silver Creek. Some miners returned to a trade and tradesman and labourers were in demand at the Lunatic Asylum where building work commenced in 1865.

One of the first Government land sales in the Silver Creek was in February 1862. In the following two years C E Bateman purchases an allotment and between 1866 and 1870 land was taken up by Henry Ellis.

According to the Beechworth Shire Rates books in 1870 at Silver Creek, George ELLIS and Joseph ELLIS (Don't think Joseph ELLIS is related?) are listed. In 1877 Joseph ELLIS, miner is listed as having house and garden on Crown Land. Also in 1877 William MAUGER, miner also has a house and garden on Crown Land.

The Australian Arms Hotel (1856-1876) was sold by Edwin Warden to Henry ELLIS in 1862. George ELLIS purchased the hotel from his brother (Henry ELLIS) in December 1870 and ran it until about 1876 after which no further record can be found. There was fierce competiton for customers amongst the Hotels in the area and George Ellis advertised swimming baths as it's main attraction. "Fresh water three or four times a week. Tuesdays and Fridays were reserved for Ladies" Single bath was 1 shilling or a season ticket was 10 shillings. He also advertised Very Superior Colonial Wine.

On 8 April 1881 a petition from the residents from Silver Creek was sent to the Minister for Public Instruction in regard to the establishment of a State School as the distance to the Beechworth or Hurdle Flat Schools was too great for young children to travel.
On this petition was listed (amoungst others).

Joseph ELLIS had 4 children to attend aged 13,11, 9, 7.
W G MAUGER had 4 children to attend aged 7,5,3,2.
The application was successful.

Both of these names appeared again on a petition in October 1884 complaining that the teacher Mr Woolnough was neglectful in his duties, this petition was also successful, causing the teacher to resign.

From the rate books for 1884, William MAUGER is still a miner at Silver Creek. Joseph ELLIS is listed as a labourer. There is also a John Bennett RICHARDS, miner who I think married Jane (Jessie) ELLIS (nee JENKINS) after George ELLIS had left. (John Bennett RICHARDS, also is listed as a miner owning a house, out buildings, garden and farm on the rates struck 21 December 1876.

Outbreaks of typhoid fever were quite common and in one outbreak in 1886, the illness had occured in the family of Joseph ELLIS.
In 1887 an extension to the school was requested. Wm. Geo. Mauger had 7 children and Joseph Ellis had 1 left at school.

In 1889 there was an outbreak of diptheria at the school.

Even though the parents fought hard to keep the school at Silver Creek, it closed in October 1893.

The local parents did not give up the fight and early March 1897 they applied for the school to be reopened. On the list of children who would attend were:

Jane MAUGER born 3 April 1888, Alice MAUGER born 11 July 1890 and Jessie MAUGER born 1892, the distance to proposed school was half a mile, as opposed to the nearest existing school at a distance of 2 and a quarter miles.

They were successful and the school reopened in October 1897 and closed for good in about 1927.

1908 Electoral Roll for Indi Victoria, subdivision of Beechworth, Silver Creek there are no Ellis's listed, the following Mauger's are listed:
Eliza, Dressmaker. Mary Ann Home Duties, Mary Jane Home Duties, William George, Miner and William George Jnr, Miner.

In 1909, Maggie Mauger is listed as doing a recitation at the Silver Creek Picnic. At the 1914 picnic - E Mauger came second in the Grade 7 race.

The outbreak of the war in 1914 saw several local lads join up including Jack Mauger.

The Maugers also played cricket and in a poem written by Phillip O'Reilly about 1920, a match between Asylum and Silver Creek, a couple of lines are devoted to them.
"Jack Mauger and Tom Gladstone first the brunt of the battle bore....Jack Mauger and Jim Counsell too, soon failed to hold their crease, but walked away with spirits gay - They'd got a duck apiece."
"Ted Mauger and A Tomlinson now raised their battle-cry, and into the arena rushed, intent to do or die...........Ted Mauger fell, McCormack came..."
"He struck the ball, Oh shattered hopes! Tom Gladstone rang his knell, Soon Tighe was by Jack Mauger bowled then Kelly's wicket fell."

Jack and Edward Mauger were still playing cricket in the 1924 Silver Creek Cricket team.

After the school closed in 1927, and by the 1930's the Post Office had closed and the last remaining hotel had closed, some families had left the area altogether. There was no longer a living to be made from mining or from wood cutting.

Family Memories

Click here for photos of the James Family

Mary Florence's father William JAMES was born on 10 July 1835 in St Just Cornwell (baptised on 26 July 1835 at St Just). He is the son of Edward JAMES (miner) and Mary ARTHUR/AUGHTY? both born 1797, their address was Truthwell (69 Truthwell Moor) and grandson of Robert JAMES and ? LOVEDAY.

Edward and Mary JAMES had the following children:
Mary Ann JAMES baptised on 29 November 1829 at St Just in Penwith, Cornwall England.
Andrew JAMES baptised 5 August 1832 at St Just in Penwith.
WILLIAM JAMES (Mary Florence FORD'S father).
Jane JAMES born about 1837
Rachael JAMES born about 1844

On 9th December 1856 at age 21, William JAMES left Liverpool on the ship Royal Charter (English) and sailed to Melbourne Victoria. William JAMES died on 27 January 1907 (death cert # 6395/23). He died of heart failure aged 71 at Boho South, Shire of Violet Town, County of Delatite Victoria. He married (in Victoria Australia in 1862) Mary Ann DAVEY (born 10 June 1844 at St Just Cornwell to parents William DAVEY and Mary DAVEY (nee ELLIS)).

William DAVEY died at 7 Whitehills Sandhurst Victoria on 27 April 1861. He was aged 38. On his death certificate # 5662, his occupation was listed as Miner and address - 7 White Hill. It states that he was born in St Just Cornwell and had been in Victoria for 7 years. He died from disease of the kidneys. The informant was his brother-in-law John ELLIS (miner -living at the same address). He was buried at the White Hills Cemetery on 30 April 1861. He had been married at Cornwell to Mary ELLIS (for 22 years). His children are listed as follows:
Mary Ann 17 years
Thomas 13 years (b. 18 April 1848 St Just, Penwith. England. d.22 September 1910 buried at Katamatite, grave number 58)

Jane died (d. 4 April 1955 St Just, Penwith. England age 5)
William died
William 4 years (b. 13 July 1857 White Hills Vic)
James 3 months.

Sadly, on the same certificate it notes that James, the youngest son, aged 3 months died 8 days later at 7 White Hills (where he was born). He had died from atrophy (which took 2 months). Mary DAVEY his mother was the informant (she left her mark by signing with a X). James was buried on 6 May 1861 also at White Hills Cemetery.

According to the Probate of William DAVEY dated 19 July 1886, he was living at White Hills, Sandhurst, Victoria and his occupation was Miner. He died on 27 April 1861 and had not left a Will. All of his possessions were granted to his daughter, Mary Ann JAMES, wife of William JAMES of Youanmite, Victoria Australia. William DAVEY owned "one ? half part or share of and in a certain dam and mining claims? with tools and appliances. The whole was sold for the sum of one hundred and seventy five pounds". Of this Mary Ann JAMES received 87 pounds and 10 shillings. She also received five pounds for rough bush furniture and cooking utensils.
Mary Ann JAMES' mother Mary Ann DAVEY had remarried to a Thomas COX, also a miner at Whitehills, Victoria, who had lost his wife a year earlier. Mary COX (DAVEY nee ELLIS) is buried at the Katamatite cemetery, in an unmarked grave plot number 57. Thomas Cox is buried at Elmore, Victoria

The following is an inscription of the family bible owned by Mary DAVEY (nee ELLIS):-

"Presented to my dear Mother on her 66th Birthday Nov 14th 1884/87? by her affectionate daughter Mary Ann James"
"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" Matt 5th C 8th Verse.

The bible has handwritten names and dates of births and deaths in the family. Grannie (Mary DAVEY?) passed away on 11 October 1908 at Youanmite aged 87 years. The Bible was handed back to Mary Ann JAMES (noted in the bible as Mrs William James Youanmite 6/11/1910). Father (William JAMES) died 27 January 1907 aged 71 at Violet Town Victoria, William is buried in an unmarked grave (cemetery records are not complete, but there is a JAMES Senior, buried in plot 381, (date unknown) which could be William). Mother (Mary Ann JAMES nee DAVEY) passed away 2 December 1912 at Heidelberg aged 68 and is buried in an unmarked grave at Violet Town (plot number 670?). Bible then went to Mrs J H FORD (Mary Florence FORD (nee JAMES) who made most of the inscriptions at the front and back of the Bible.

William JAMES and Mary Ann JAMES (nee DAVEY) had 12 children, of these only 4 survived until adulthood.

(# Living Male married Coralie KURTZMAN and had a daughter Lynette Ida GANDY (1958-1960) at Griffith. The reason for Lynette dying so young is that, her mother had a bowl of boiling water on the kitchen table to scald some chooks ready for cooking and Lynette grabbed the bowl and spilled the water over herself. Sadly she died 3 days later of the injuries. Living Male's sister Marion, said he was, understandably, never the same after this.
