Veterans Row, Hobart
-
- History &
Achievements :
- Veterans' Row was erected for them. In his Almanac & Directory for
1831,1 James Ross described...
the neat little brick cottages of the veterans being built just beyond
the northern end of Murray St. Some were already completed in 1831 and
occupied by KIRKWOOD
John , , HILL John William, John Hepburn, W'm Skerrow, CLEARY William
,,
JERVIS (Jarvis) William and SHIRES Benjamin on one side of the road. On the other side
were housed HOWARD Matthew (a shoemaker), FULLERTON
Alexander , BURNS William ,
Jas. Compton, KIRSONS ( Kerivan) John (tailor) and PANTON James (also a tailor).
Altogether, twenty cottages were built for the Veterans, the originals being
joined, as their cottages were completed, by Samuel Coulston,
LEONARD Thomas, McKAY (McCoy) William , PAGE William , Simon Carson and
HOMER Thomas . Although.
described by Ross as "labourers" several of them had rejoined the Police as
civilian Constables; however, most served only for a short time.
The official records of the 1842 Census48
contain names of some of them and give slight indications of how they were
faring. Veterans' Row retained its name on the map and justified it, as
there were still Veterans living there. William Skerrow is the only labourer
remaining there; he became the victim of a cowardly murder in l846.4 CLEARY William had bought up some of the adjoining properties, partly to
cater for his growing family and also for the increased trade as Mine Host
of his inn, the "Sir Thomas Brisbane". Other surviving Veterans still living
in Veterans' Row were Simon Carson, PANTON James and McKAY (McCoy) William, all
three of them tailors.
