Notes:

The Family Home

'Wyuna' at 105 High Street, Belmont was the family home of Frederick Forbes HERD and Alice Rose HERD (m.n. SUMNER).

'Wyuna' is believed to be Aboriginal in origin meaning 'Clear water'.

"Wyuna" was built by and originally owned by Emil Theodore SICHLAU who was a Geelong financier and commission agent. His origins were probably Danish and it is believed that he had something to do with the early Geelong chicken industry.
____
My most vivid memory of 'Wyuna' is the huge gilt-framed mirror in the front room which in this day and age would be worth a very tidy sum. It is believed that this mirror was in the house when Frederick Forbes HERD purchased the property.
____
It is also believed that the ownership of 'Wyuna' was transferred to Frederick Forbes HERD's youngest brother Francis Oswald HERD in the early 1950s, probably in relation to the settlement of a debt. Frederick Forbes and Francis Oswald had been in partnership in a cattle dealing business up until about that time. At about this time, Francis Oswald HERD founded the wholesale butchery business of M.C. Herd in the name of his wife Maud Cecilia HERD (m.n. LAMB).

The home was demolished in the 1950s and eventually made way for the current Chinese restaurant.

Frederick married SUMNER Alice Rose 14 Apr 1903, 426 Cardigan Street, Carlton VIC. Alice (daughter of SUMNER Henry Thomas and MCGINTY Rose Mary) was born 23 Aug 1881, Fitzroy VIC; died 15 Jul 1954, 105 High Street, Belmont VIC; was buried 17 Jul 1954, Barrabool Hills Cemetery, Highton VIC.

SUMNER Alice Rose was born 23 Aug 1881, Fitzroy VIC (daughter of SUMNER Henry Thomas and MCGINTY Rose Mary); died 15 Jul 1954, 105 High Street, Belmont VIC; was buried 17 Jul 1954, Barrabool Hills Cemetery, Highton VIC.

Name: Alice Rose HERD
Occupation: Home Duties
_UID: 4C93AA9D2A3B4B57A497D6B3E28D0A7FE9A6

Notes:

Alice Rose SUMNER (1881-1954) was committed to the Neglected Childrens System (No. 17810) on 24 Nov 1890 soon after the arrest of her father for coining (counterfeiting). She was fostered at several addresses in the Bendigo area and later at Ascot Vale, Williamstown, Brunswick, Moonee Ponds, Cape Clear and Highton.

As was the custom, her term in that system expired on her eighteenth birthday (23 Aug 1899) presumably while she was still at Highton where she was in the care of a Mrs. COWAN. One can safely guess that this is where she first met her future husband Frederick Forbes HERD (1872-1944). On her record there is a note as follows: "girl is engaged to a young man named HERD, 29/4/01".

Emigration: 10 Jun 1838, Belfast ANT
Will: 18 Aug 1888, Geelong VIC
Probate: 29 Jul 1908, Melbourne VIC

Notes:

Mystery surrounds the movement of William HERD from Sydney to Melbourne after his initial arrival in Sydney. Recent information which is unconfirmed, is that he stayed on in Sydney with some of his PARK relatives, while the rest of the family journeyed on to Melbourne. One thing is certain and that is that his name does not appear on the passenger list of the "Hope", the interstate vessel on which the remainder of the family travelled to Melbourne.

Emigration:
Arrived Sydney NSW aboard the 'Mandarin' arriving on 18 Oct 1838. Believed to have stayed with PARK family relatives in Sydney before following the rest of his family to Port Phillip VIC.

Into Place: Sydney NSW

Will:
Interesting to note that William HERD referred to his wife as Margaret Caldwell HERD on two occasions when her real name was Margaret Calder HERD.

Inquest: 16 Nov 1896, Rutherglen VIC; Inquest into the death of Henry SOMNER [sic]; : 39y

Notes:

His wife, Rose Mary McGINTY, was unfortunately the victim of murder on 2 Apr 1891. The perpetrator of that crime was one John FINNIGAN who was sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment with hard labour. FINNIGAN was released on 9 Dec 1907 with remissions for good behaviour etc.
(Ref. VPRS 515/44/p.390, Prisoner No. 24701)

At the time of this tragic event Henry Thomas SUMNER was in gaol serving a sentence for counterfeiting of half-crown coins. According to newspaper accounts of the murder and trial five of the six children had been placed into the care of the Department of Neglected Children prior to the death of their mother, presumably on the conviction of their father for coining. Set out below are extracts from the criminal record books relating to Henry Thomas.

VPRS 515/41
Melbourne Gaol, 18 Mar 1889, to freedom by bail.

Melbourne Gaol, 12 Nov 1890, to freedom by bail.

Melbourne Gaol, 15 Dec 1890, 2 February, 1891, having an article improperly, 2 days close confinement on 1/2 rations.

Pentridge Gaol, 23 Dec 1890, 4 January, 1892, having a knife improperly, 24 hours solitary confinement.

Pentridge Gaol, 28 Jun 1892, disorderly conduct, 3 days solitary confinement.

Pentridge Gaol, 22 Jul 1892, to freedom by remission.

The second to last entry on his criminal record is as follows:
28/6/96, Disorderly Conduct, 3 days sol conf cum [solitary confinement cumulative] ed.
The puzzling thing about this entry is that it is long after his confinement in Pentridge Prison and about 5 months before his demise on 15 Nov 1896. Perhaps he took some leave from his labouring employment at Rutherglen and journeyed to Melbourne and fell off the wagon and drank too much, with predictable results.
____

At his trial for counterfeiting, crown evidence was given against him by both his eldest son Charles Henry Joseph SUMNER, and eldest daughter Alice Rose SUMNER. Charles showed the police the hiding place used by his father for some of his plaster moulds. These reports also relate the fact that the marriage of Henry and Rose was strongly opposed by her parents (Joseph and Alice McGINTY). It is even stated that they took legal action in an attempt to secure an annulment of the marriage, presumably on the grounds of the age of Rose (18) or the fact that she married outside the Roman Catholic faith.

Notes:

John HERD and all of his family barring eldest son William travelled on to the Port Phillip District on the interstate vessel 'Hope' soon after their arriving in Sydney on 18 Oct 1838. Son William is believed to have stayed in Sydney with his mother's PARK relatives before coming on to the Port Phillip district of Victoria.

Land Selection
Appears to have leased or owned Allotment 4A of 24 acres, No section number, Parish of Bulban, County Grant. The lease or ownership was transferred to Garrett O'BRIAN [sic] (Abt.1823-1899) his son-in-law on 9 Apr 1853. This land is situated at Little River VIC.

His grave at Warracknabeal Cemetery is unfortunately unmarked.

John HERD was elected to the South Barwon Municipal Council in July 1861 and was immediately elected as Chairman of the Council on 9 Jul 1861. (The Argus, Melbourne, 10 Jul 1861, p5)

John HERD was selected as one of three nominees from the Borough of South Barwon as trustees of Queens Park in Geelong on 15 Feb 1861. (The Argus, Melbourne, 15 Feb 1861, p5)

For some reason the death notice placed in the 'Horsham Times' of 15 Feb 1884 gives his age as being 95 years which is too generous by 10 years.
