| 103 | On the 22nd of December 1876, Dugald married Mary Hannah, his next door neighbour, in a ceremony which took place at 2 Berkeley Terrace, Glasgow. The service was conducted by Robert Stuart, the Minister of St. Marks Church of Scotland. Dugald's parents were John Brown (harbour labourer) and Ann Brown (m.s. Brown) At the time of their marriage, Mary described her occupation as a cotton loomer(the certificate appears to suggest lucer), and her address as 37 Mill Street, Glasgow. Dugald was a hammerman ,and lived at 35 Mill Street. No other information is available on Dugald to date. | BROWN, Dugald (I32)

| 111 | Thomas Baird Hannah was born at 53 Eglinton Street, Tradeston, an inner suburb of Glasgow, Scotland on 12th September 1863, the last child of William Hannah and Agnes Baird. His siblings were Robert (1844), Margaret (1847), Agnes (1852), Jane (1854), William (1856), Mary (1859), and Isabella (1861). Thomas was the only child born in Glasgow, the family having recently moved there from Ayrshire. Little is known of his early days in Glasgow. His mother Agnes died in December 1873 when he was ten years old, and father William in August the following year. He and some of his siblings were possibly cared for by one of his married sisters for some time. No doubt he completed elementary schooling. He possibly then moved closer to his brother William in Paisley, and may have been employed in William's timber business, perhaps becoming apprenticed as a carpenter or joiner, or working as a sawmill labourer. The 1881 census records his occupation at the age of 18 as a joiner. At that time he was living with a relative, Duncan Gilchrist, at 106 Stirling Road, Glasgow. | HANNAH, Thomas Baird (I10)

| 112 | To date no indisputable birth information has been found for William Hannah, all we know is that he was apparently born in Dalmellington, Ayrshire. A definite date of birth, and his parents are unknown. However there is a fair probability he was born to William Hannah (tailor) and Mary McGill in December 1792. See the post “Dead End for William” to see a discussion to this end. He has left a reasonable footprint in the official records. He became a tailor in his early years, although it seems that for some reason he was employed in various other roles throughout his life. William married Margaret Lees, the daughter of Andrew Lees and Mary Eagelshom in Newton-on-Ayr, Ayrshire in May 1815, declaring himself to be from the parish of Dalmellington. “William Hannah in the parish of Dalmellington and Margaret Lees in this parish were three times proclaimed in order to Marriage on two Sabbaths and were married” (Old Parish Registers Marriages 612/2 10 379 Newton On Ayr) His prison records (below) also indicate a birth place of Dalmellington. Six children are known to have been born to William and Margaret; Mary (c. 1816), Agnes (1818), Margaret (1820), William (1822), John McKenzie (1825) and Jane (1827). The 1841 census (the only one William would participate in) lists the family living in Sandgate Street, Ayr, a tenement managed by the Kirk. However, some of the ages are wildly wrong, even allowing for the "rounding" and inaccuracies inherent in the 1841 census. William’s age is given as 40, and Margaret as 35. However we know Margaret was born in 1786, which would have made her 55 years of age. Son William is also missing, although at twenty years of age it would be not unreasonable for him to be living elsewhere. Six month old John Cooper as shown on the census was the son of daughter Agnes who married Joseph Cooper in 1841. John was born to the couple on 18th November of the previous year. The name of John Cooper Hannah re-emerges in subsequent generations. While William claimed the trade of tailor, it appears he only practised the trade in earlier years. From 1818 when daughter Agnes was born, through to John McKenzie’s birth in 1825 an occupation of “Town Officer” was recorded. The role is not well described in retrospect; however his duties may have ranged from caring for borough assets such as buildings, through to keeping streets clean. The following extract from the Ayr Kirk session minutes is interesting. "There was a petition given in by the Town Officers craving that the weekly allowance of four pence made them for walking the streets and driving away noisy children and disorderly persons during Divine Service should be augmented . The Kirk Session agrees to double their allowance making it eight pence per week, at the same time they wish it to be intimated to the Town Officers by their Clerk that it is expected they will be very attentive in discharging this part of their duty. Session closed with prayer." (Ayr kirk session, Minutes (1801-1813), CH2/751/16 Image 315) In 1827 when daughter Jane was born he was described as “Bellman”. This could either be the town crier, or the person responsible for ringing the church bell at times during the day. The 1841 Census gave his occupation as "labourer". William was committed to two short terms in Ayr prison (more on that below). On both occasions he claimed the trade of ”tailor”. The death registration of their son William in 1874 has William senior with an occupation of “fisherman”, which goes some way to explaining how he managed to fall foul of the law. On the 29th December 1840, William was convicted by the Justice of the Peace in Ayr of salmon poaching. He was sentenced to prison for two months, and fined £1/15 expenses. He was admitted to Ayr prison on 6th January 1841. His admission record reports that William was “drunk” and “dirty” on admission, and that he could read. Three years later he was again convicted by the Ayr Magistrate of stealing some fishing rope. This was reported in the Ayr Advertiser on the 18th April 1844. He was sentenced to forty days imprisonment. William was again admitted to Ayr prison on 16th April. This time he was described as being clean and tidy, that he had a trade of tailor, and could read and write well. So what drove William to his misdemeanors? The 1841 census shows that his household consisted of himself and Margaret, daughters Mary, Agnes, Jane and her six month old son John Cooper, and son John who was a shoemakers apprentice. He presumably didn't earn much as a labourer, so the household could have been a bit desperate. His declining employment over the years suggests he also apparently had an increasing problem with the drink. Maybe he was employed as a fisherman, and the temptation to help himself to some of his employers property in the chance of making a quick sale proved too strong. All this is speculation, surely. William died on 2nd July 1847 at 19 Sandgate Street, Ayr, and was interred at the Auld Kirk Cemetery two days later. The cause of death is unrecorded. He shares a headstone with his parents-in-law Andrew Lees and Mary Eagelshom, his wife Margaret and daughters Agnes, Jane and Mary. | HANNAH, William (I10)

A brother was Henry Vincent (1813-1878), who was active in the formation of early Working Men's Associations in Britain, a popular Chartist leader, brilliant and gifted public orator, prospective but ultimately unsuccessful Victorian member of parliament, and later an anti-slavery campaigner. William arrived into Wellington, New Zealand, on the Slains Castle. On board was his future wife, 15 year old Anne Sophia Squibb in 1840 as soon as the first ship docked, Samuel Revans, a peripatetic newspaperman, merchant and political agitator, landed his press on the beach at Petone and immediately began the important business of colonial communication and information exchange. Rival newspapers were established and Wellington soon boasted a strong print economy.

He was the proprietor of the Te Aro Hotel. This was not successful and by 1852 he was again a Printer of Manners Street. Wellington Independent, 4 Dec 1850 (as a witness in a Manslaughter Case) William Edward Vincent sworn - is a licensed victualler; lives at the corner of Willis-street and Dixon-street .. John Vincent sworn, I am living with my brother as barman. I remember seeing the prisoner at the house on Thursday, the 31st, in the forenoon; he was in the front of the bar with a Mr Squibb and several other customers .. In 1853 the family moved to Sydney where he worked as compositor and then proofreader on the Sydney Morning Herald. In June 1859 he established a weekly newspaper, the Clarence and Richmond Examiner, in Grafton, northern New South Wales. As in Wellington he sought to support the commercial community rather than the pastoralists, but his principal backer disapproved and early in 1861 the Examiner was sold off. A few months later he began the Clarence and Richmond Independent, which was barely established when he died at Grafton on 22 November 1861. His two eldest sons, Henry (aged 14) and Frank (nearly 12), continued the paper, the first of many Vincent-owned newspapers in the district. New South Wales, 3 Dec 1861 DEATH OF MR WILLIAM E. VINCENT - It is our melancholy duty to record the death and burial of Mr W. E. Vincent, the editor of The Independent. He expired on Friday night, at his late residence, Bacon street, after a short illness, and was buried with military honours by the Grafton Volunteers, of which corpse was member, on Saturday afternoon. Mr Vincent was an old colonist, although but 37 years of age at his death. He was the pioneer of the Press in this district, having established the Examiner and recently The Independent; and some years ago was long connected with the Wellington NZ Press. He also held the office of reader on the Sydney Morning Herald. Mr Vincent was ever liberal in his politics, and the staunch advocate of Separation, although his swan song was rather in favour of Anti-Separation. He has left a widow and a family of eight children to to struggle on as they can in adversity NZ Times, 16 June 1902 Journalism in Wellington - How The New Zealand 'Times' and 'Mail' were Founded .. Journalism in Wellington began with that bright morning of the 18th April, 1840 .. The 'Independent' which may justly be regarded as the pioneer of the New Zealand Times, was issued thrice weekly. Its proprietors were Messrs William Edward Vincent, T. W. McKenzie, George Fellingham and James Muir, whose names appeared on the imprint. Though the name of Mr Edward Roe also appeared on the first imprint, he declined to have any share in the venture, believing apparently, that it had little hope of success ..
