He had seisin of his father’s lands in 1202, and two years later in 1204, he was granted a yearly fair at Wakefield. Having lost his lands in Normandy, the King, in 1205, granted him Grantham and Stamford in Lincolnshire in compensation. Earl William owed 100 marks in 1206 for an advance he received at Poitou, and another 100 marks for robes provided him at Poitou. He was directed to escort the King of Scots to York in 1206.2 William, married Maud d'Aubeney, daughter of William d'Aubeney 2ed Earl of Arundel and Maude de St. Hilaire.2 He was a witness to King John’s submission to the Pope in 1213, and took part in the seizure of London on 24 May 1215. Earl William was one of the Barons at the signing of the Magna Carta at Runnymede on 15 June 1215.2 He took part in the naval battle, which defeated Eustace the Monk in 1217. He was appointed to meet the King of Scotland at Berwick in 1220. Three years later, in 1223, he went on pilgrimage to St. James Santiago in Spain and St. John.2 Before 13 October 1225 William, married Maud Marshal Countess of Norfolk and Warenne, daughter of Sir William the Marshal Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare Countess Strigoil, in Surrey, England.2 He took the part of the Butler at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor of Provence n 1236.2 William de Warenne 6th Earl of Surrey died on Sunday, 27 May 1240 in London, England, at age 74 years.2 He was buried in Lewes Priory Church, Lewes, Surrey, England.2	DE WARENNE, William (Plantagenet) 6th Earl of Surrey (I5082)

2806	William Montgomery Davenport Davidson J.P. (1830[1] – 1909[2] ), was a Surveyor-General of Queensland in Australia. Davidson was born at Richmond, Surrey, in 1830.[1] He was educated at the Moravian School in Yorkshire, and afterwards at the Stockwell Grammar School, which is connected with King's College, London. Mr. Davidson then went to the College of Civil Engineers, where he took his diploma.[1] Davidson left England for Tasmania in 1852, going over to Victoria the same year. He returned to Tasmania in 1854, and was appointed Inspecting Surveyor for the southern part of the island. In response to an invitation from Augustus Charles Gregory, who was then Surveyor-General, he went to Queensland in 1861, and was appointed Staff Surveyor. In 1868 he became District Surveyor, a position he held until June 1st, 1875, when he accepted the post of Deputy-Surveyor-General. In December 1889, on the resignation of William Alcock Tully, Davidson exchanged this position for that of Surveyor-General.[1] Davidson had the "Cliveden" homestead built for him on a bend of the Brisbane River in Oxley, Queensland in 1889.[2] Source: Wikipedia	DAVIDSON, William Montgomerie Davenport (I17049)
2807	William Moore Ferrar was born in Dublin in 1823, the son of a medical practitioner. He attended Dr. Geoghgan’s School, after which he commenced employment as a bank clerk. At the age of nineteen he immigrated, first to Sydney and then to Tasmania, having accepted the invitation of his Dickson cousins to take up residence and assist with farm duties at their pastoral estate, Plassy, on the outskirts of Ross, in the northern midlands. After only a few months, in 1843 he was appointed assistant superintendent of the Salt Water River Probation Station on Tasman’s Peninsula. He returned to Plassy in 1847, marrying the eldest daughter, Eliza Dickson, and subsequently taking ownership of Plassy, where he and Eliza lived for the remainder of their lives. Footnotes: 1 Bassett Dickson, a cotton-mill proprietor, of Limerick, immigrated to Tasmania with his wife Elizabeth and five children, arriving 16 February 1830 with capital of £1200 and £200 in furniture; they were granted 2000 acres in the Ross district, which they named Plassy. The family lived for the first seven years in the three room hut they built on the property. The present homestead was completed by 1837. William’s reasons for leaving Ireland were likely a failed love affair, alluded to in his diaries, and knowing of his cousins’ success in the colonies. At the time of William’s arrival in 1842 the two Dickson sons, Bassett junior and Samuel, had left home, pursuing farming ventures He records his sea journey to the Australian colonies only briefly: “On the tenth of October 1841 I set sail from Liverpool in the bark Hope. Captain Duncan McLachlan, bound for Sydney, and on the tenth of October 1842 I entered my cousin Bassett Dickson’s house in Van Diemen’s Land.” The Ferrar Diaries: William Moore Ferrar and his Books Keith Adkins	FERRAR, William Moore (I20299)

2813	Willow Court (New Norfolk Asylum; Royal Derwent Hospital) Selina Alexander (bc1855), a qualified nurse with a reference from Florence Nightingale. She was responsible for raising the pay and conditions of her staff. In 1890, aged 35, Selina married, as his second wife, Robert Shoobridge of apple-producing Valleyfield who was a government visitor of the asylum. They were to become parents of Nancy Hope, the girl in the St Matthew’s stained-glass window (p304). THE WORK OF THE INSTITUTION A VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL. During the day a "Mercury" representative paid a visit to the hospital, and was shown over the institution by the matron (Miss Moody), who was kind enough not only to do this, but to give some interesting information regarding the working of the hospital. The building occupies a very fine site on the brow of the hill, overlooking the Derwent, with a view in front of the river and its fertile valley and the rugged hills beyond. Though not large, the hospital, which was erected by Mr. Shoobridge at a cost of £2,700, is solidly and compactly built of brick, with a roof which is also of a cheerful red hue. It is well arranged and up to-date within and without, the chief difficulty being that, with the increasing use made of it, it is likely to be- come too small. The hospital owes its existence to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. R .W. G. Shoobridge, and the circumstances under which it was erected are commemorated by the following in- scrîption on a marble tablet affixed to the wall of the entrance-hall: - "This hospital was erected in 1910, and presented to the inhabitants of the district of New Norfolk by Robert and Selina Shoobridge, in memory of their daughter, Nancy Hope. She, being dead yet speaketh. " The interest of Mr. and Mrs. Shoobridge in the hospital did not end with the erection of the building, for they have rendered many other services to it. The residents of New Norfolk and the surrounding districts have also taken an active part in providing for the furnishing and maintenance of the hospital, with the result that its interior economy presents some features unusual in hospitals.

2833	“Alumni Dublinenses”, has a Thomas Vokes, son of Edward Vokes, Merchant, entering Trinity College, Dublin on the 21 June, 1728, aged 18. Thomas was born in Limerick in 1710 and he was called to the Irish Bar in 1742. Thomas, on entering the Middle Temple on the 29 Oct. 1731, is given as the son and heir of Edward Voekes [sic] of Limerick. In May 1765 Thomas Vokes, a Counsellor-at-law, married a Miss [Mary] Parker.Since we know of only two Thomas Vokes who were Attorneys this must be the Thomas who was born in Limerick in 1710, marrying at the age of 55, for a second or third time, perhaps?	VOKES, Thomas (I3389)
2834	“The Baronetage of England” has another Thomas Vokes, born 1707 in London to William and Martha, he also became an Attorney and practised in England before coming to Limerick where he served as Sheriff of the City in 1760 and eventually died in 1765 at his home near Milltown. He married Elizabeth Barker, who died in 1780, the daughter of Sir William Barker who owned some 2000 acres in Pubblebrian Barony since Cromwellian times. The Vokes family lived at Cragbeg, Kilcolman, Ballycurrane and Cloonanna Townlands, down through the following centuries, all of which were part of the Barker Estate. This Thomas (B. 1707 in London) is the man the Rev. Campbell refers to as his nephew, the Counsellor, now in London. The Campbell Will was written in 1738 and the Limerick Thomas (B. 1710) had not been called to the Bar yet and he therefore can not be styled as “Attorney or Counsellor” so he is the Thomas named with his brother William above. Since Campbell names both Thomas’s as his nephews it follows that their fathers, Edward and William, are brothers. The question now arises, was Joseph who co-signed the 1715 letter to London with Sheriff Edward Vokes, another brother? Elizabeth, Mary and Angel could be children of Edward or Joseph or indeed any other Vokes, but since the male lines only are being traced this does not become an issue here. With Angel being named twice, did Edward and Joseph each have a daughter called Angel or is Campbell perhaps referring to an in-law. St. Mary’s Archive Records in Limerick have a Simon Vokes and his wife Angel burying their infant son Edward in 1739 and the records also have a Simon Vokes dying in 1741 shortly before Angel Vokes, widow, who also died later in 1741, surely Simon’s wife. The List of Freemen5 gives a George Vokes, son of Simon, claiming admittance as a Freeman of Limerick in 1758. (If he was aged 21, then he was born in 1737). There was a George Vokes who was packed off to Dublin6 to serve an apprenticeship as a Book seller in 1751. (If aged 14, the normal age of apprenticeship, then he was born in 1737). There are only 6 George Vokes on record and the chances of 2 of them being born in 1737 are very slim. Unfortunately, for dating purposes, the corrupt Corporation were at this time bending the “Freeman” rules and instead of admitting 21 year old, first born sons,- the legal requirement,- they were now allowing their friends and supporters to admit all their sons from a very young age, some as young as 1 year old. They were also blocking the admission of anyone who was not of their political party. The Freeman List also gives a Thomas, son of Simon being admitted in 1760, if he was 21 year old then he could be a brother of George and a son of the Simon and Angel Vokes who both died in 1741. “Alumni Dublinenses” has a Simon Vokes entering Trinity College, Dublin, on June 11, 1754, aged 17, born in Co. Limerick but no fathers name was given. This Simon was therefore born in 1737. Of the 4 Vokes who went to University, Simon was the only Vokes from County Limerick. The other 3 were from Limerick City. So is he from Cragbeg?	VOKES, Thomas (I6229)
2835	• Kenneth Sutherland, 3rd Lord Duffus (d. 1734) (attainted and forfeit 1734) for his part in the 1715 uprising. He fled to Sweden, where he married a Swedish lady, Christina Sjöblad, by whom he had: • Eric Sutherland, 4th Lord Duffus (1710-1768) (not restored, but counted), married his first cousin Elizabeth, third daughter of Sir James Dunbar of Hempriggs, 1st Baronet by his wife Elizabeth Dunbar, daughter and heiress of Sir William Dunbar of Hempriggs, 1st Baronet of Northfield.[3] They were parents of the 5th Lord Duffus, another son (who died issueless), and three daughters including an eldest daughter Elizabeth, wife firstly of Captain Alexander Sinclair, son of Sir William Sinclair of Keiss; secondly Charles Sinclair of Olrig (by whom one son and one daughter) and thirdly, in 1772, the Reverend James Rudd, rector in Yorkshire.[4]	DUNBAR, Elizabeth (I20513)
2836	…from The Mercury, Monday 21 February 1881 SORELL. [From our own Correspondent.] Removals of public schoolmasters from the municipality of Sorell to other places are more frequent than convenient. It was not so in the time of the late good old Mr. Peacock, who, as the public schoolmaster, was a fixed institution in the district in which he lived and died. It may be on account of their superior attainments ; and, if so, well and good. The loss of the people of Sorell, if to the advantage of the people in other districts, need be no matter of complaint, if it only conserve the general good. Within five years, all the public schoolmasters of the Sorell district have been removed - Mr. Freeman, from Sorell; Mr. Lowe, from Wattle Hill; Mr. Hurst, from Kellevie; Mr. Wright, from Forcett; and now Mr. Duncan Duff Hayes Chisholm, from Sorell. It is a question whether the cost of each of these removals is recouped by the separate or collective advantages which follow in their train ; but, as a matter of fact, the people of Sorell do not like these frequent changes, all but the last one, so far as they know, being; unsought by any of the teachers removed. However, that is a matter best known at head-quarters. On the whole, the district of Sorell has, for the past twelve years at least, and doubtless before, had nothing to complain of in regard to the Board of Education ; for, all things considered, the teachers have been, on the average, all that could be expected ; and in one case at least, the Sorell public schoolmaster was exceptionally good, if not superlative ; but he has gone, to a better school, to a better place, and to better pay ; and if Mr. Chisholm's translation from Sorell to Beaconsfield culminate in the like result, the people of Sorell will not complain at his prosperity though they may re- gret his loss in more ways than one-for, in all matters which conduced to the social and moral improvement of the people, he has always been in the front rank, and in good company. But Bacons- field is an open field where Mr Chisolm's many friends -he has no enemies-trust he may make his mark ascend the ladder, and receive a better return as the fruits of the industry than he has at Sorell. In thus writing of our public schools, I cast no reflection either on the Board or the present teachers. TheBoard does its best, so do the teachers, and both alike are entitled to the consideration, the sympathy, and the substantial support of the inhabitants. In Messrs Burton, Miller, and Cole we have excellent and rising young teachers, and concerning Mrs Davis and Miss Rowland, we have all that can be expected in so scattered a district as Sorell. But where change, unless for promotion or for good, can be avoided, the less it is resorted to the better, at all events for a period extending over three years, for, just as a teacher is becoming thoroughly useful, and reaching that stage where, under him, his scholar can advance with ease and rapidity, nearly all, if not all has ended in "labour in vain," because of sudden removal. Nor do I desire to cast any reflection on the Board, or its honorary head, the Hon Dr Butler, whoso name, like that of the late Hon Dr Officer, when the history of Tasmania, since the introduction of responsible government, shall be hereafter written-by one as great, if not greater than our last Tasmanian historian West -- will appear as one of the founders, and afterwards the honorary director of the those educational institutions which have been the chief glory of Tasmania and the admiration of the world. With the late Speaker of the House of Assembly (the late Sir Robert Officer) the acclimatisation of salmon in Tasmania was the hobby of his latter days, and he lived, after many years, to see the desire of his heart an accomplished fact, but not without much ridicule on tho part of the sceptical With his successor as Speaker (the Hon Dr Butler) education - superior education - has been the hobby of his life, and, though not infrequently, like his predecessor, he has experienced opposition and ridicule, as most enthusiasts, be they ever so right, generally do, he has lived to see the fruits of his labours-not in salmon leaping tho Derwent, but in Tasmanian boys, some of them the children of poor people, returning with British University honours to their island home to follow the professions which the beneficence of our liberal educational system has placed within their reach. Dr Butler's services in the cause of education, like those of the late Dr Officer's in acclimatisation, have always been a labour of love-aye, even more, not only in edu- cation and acclimatisation, but in all our philanthropic and political institutions-their untiring efforts have not only been an unostentatious labour of love, but of sacrifice for the public good , and to few men, if any, is Tasmania more indebted for its advancement, socially, morally, intellectually, and materially, than to the late Speaker of the House of Assembly (the late Hon Dr Officer), and to the present Speaker of the same House (the Hon Dr Butler), the chairman of the Board of Education.
