Hamilton

I am planning to publish on this site an essay written about my Great-Great Grandfather Capt. Augustus ‘James’ Courbarron. It details more clearly his early life, apprenticeship in the merchant navy, his career and family life in Sydney.

Included will be letters written to him from his family abroad and letters he himself wrote whilst on his voyages and at home. It also gives great insight about life in the late 19th century/early 20th century Sydney. I’m looking forward to publishing this as his story is truly interesting to read.

Also, I am in the process of scanning in a collection of very old photographs which will put faces to the names in these posts, many of them are over 100 years old but excellent in quality. In all, I am very enthusiastic about putting all this Hamilton family history together and I hope it is all of assistance, and interest, to other family historians.

The essay will be titled ‘He only ever went to sea’ and will appear as a seperate page.
