Autobiographical notes by G.W.F. Addison:
I was born in Manchester on 22nd April 1831. My father was at that time adjutant of the 2nd Dragoon Guards ("The Bays") who were quartered in Hulme (Cavalry) Barracks and I was born there. My earliest recollections are not of Manchester but of Limerick, Ireland where I was taken at a very early age. My grandfather T.P. Vokes Chief Magistrate of County of Limerick and I lived with him for ten or twelve years. Some of my relatives were connected with the Royal Navy and by their influence I was nominated to "H.M.S. Queen", the biggest and best ship in the Service.
My grandfathers clerk took me over post haste from Limerick to Portsmouth but much to my disappointment my age was found to be over the limit for appointment to the Navy (although I had passed the necessary entrance examination).
I then returned to Limerick, but shortly afterwards went to my Father at Bruges in Belgium. From there I was sent to school at Brussels. It was an English school, Mr. Williams a Welshman being the master. I remained there for a few years, my brother George being with me and I then returned to Bruges. In the meantime my grandfather T.P. Vokes (who had retired from his position as P.M. Limerick) came to live in Brussels and my aunt, Annie Vokes, soon afterwards married Count Alfred Is. Bylandt formerly Governor of Brussels.
My father had a friend who had some influence with the management of the Great Seraing Ironworks at Liege and I was employed there for a few months. About 4000 people were employed in the Works but there was only one other Englishman besides myself. I had no taste for engineering although I spent a very happy time at Liege. Howsoever, my Patron who got me the opportunity died, and I therefore decided to go to London where my father was living. For a time I was employed in the firm of Moffatt & Coy. Tea Merchants, London. Mr Moffatt was M.P. for Dartmouth and the largest Tea Firm in England.
However, the discovery of gold in Australia made me restless and I decided to join the many thousands flocking to the Antipodes. After getting a large outfit together I joined the ship "Carnatic" at Plymouth and sailed to Melbourne where I arrived just before Xmas 1852 after a ninety days voyage. I had joined a party of 4 or 5 others on board ship and we had determined to go together to the goldfields. There were 4 Scotchmen and one Swiss in the party. We had a large tent which we first pitched in Canvas Town in the heart of the city of Melbourne. There were thousands of tents round us - people from all parts of the world. All classes, but at Canvas Town all equal - At night revolvers going off on all sides to show prowlers that each man was armed, - a kind of warning to possible thieves. My old friends the Terrys (Mrs Terry a daughter of my fathers friend Capt. Hunter) were in Melbourne at this time and I saw a great deal of them. Mr Terry was a merchant.
Our party soon started for the Fields, our destination being Castlemaine. We walked all the way and had a dray for the baggage. Thousands on the road - a regular procession. Started digging at Castlemaine on 1st January 1853 (New Year's Day) 'fossicking' old ground. Did fairly well. After a few months however Mr Terry wrote me from Melbourne asking me to join him in his office, I decided to do so and returned to Melbourne for that purpose.
I remained for some months with Mr Terry until his health failed and he returned to England. By his influence I received a position in the office of the Melbourne Herald then owned by Mr Archibald Michie (afterwards Sir Archibald) and Mr Morse. (Both partners being very kind to me) I remained in the Herald office a few years but was persuaded to join my cousins the Emmotts in Sydney. Mr Emmott had arrived from England some time before and was in the Customs Office Sydney. I was temporarily employed for a short time in the Customs and then received an appointment in the Department of Lands whence I was appointed sub Gold Commissioner at Tooloom near the borders of Queensland and N.S.W. I was afterwards appointed Asst. Gold Commr at Ironbark and Bingara, then at Rocky River, Uralla and eventually Chief Gold Commr. Northern Goldfields (N.B. an exceptionally rapid promotion) Headquarters Armidale.
The Gold Commrs. were afterwards abolished and I was appointed P.M. at Tenterfield visiting Glen Innes and Inverell. Then P.M. at Maitland and eventually S.M. Sydney in 1st Jan 1882.
N.B. Service continued from date of first permanent appointment 14th April 1858.
In addition to the foregoing salaried offices was appointed
Commissioner for Affidavits at Armidale, Tenterfield and Maitland
Commissioner of Insolvent Estates.
A Guardian of Minors
A Magistrate for Queensland
Guardian of Minors (Sydney 1890)
Justice of the Peace, Victoria (1891)
Elected a member of the Australian Club Dec. 1892
Was granted 3 months leave of absence on 1st Jany 1899 and on 31 March 1899 retired (voluntarily) from the Public Service of New South Wales - after serving upwards of 42 years.
Was granted a Pension for 435.2.9 per ann. and the Minister of Justice wrote a very laudatory Minute on my papers.
