170 Gerry opened his first butcher shop in Botany Road, Alexandria in 1939 w hen he was just 23 years old. When WW2 broke out he wanted to enlist in t he RAAF but, because he owned his own butchery, he was refused and join ed the Essential Services instead, much to his great disappointment. I n 1946 his uncle Doyle Mallett offered Gerry and Thel to run the Centra l Hotel at Ungarie. They did this for 3 months. Then he opened his own b utchery Barretts Meats at 612 Crown Street, Surry Hills in about 1946 w here he remained until his retirement in 1979. BARRETT, Robert Gerald (I2)
 
171 Gerry was named after his father Robert Francis Barrett.

He wanted to enlist in the Air Force for WW2 but, because he owned his butchery, he was not accepted and was joined into Essential Services. He was very upset as his mate from Junee, Archie Hillyer, was accepted. Archie, dressed in his Air Force uniform, was best man at Gerry’s wedding to Thelma.

Reserved occupations, Second World War - source https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/homefront/reserved_occupations

Labour controls were introduced during the Second World War to meet a crisis in manpower and to administrate between the needs of the armed services and industry. Manpower regulations affected the individual liberties and touched the day to day activities of Australians perhaps more than any other executive operations of government throughout this period.

The first significant regulation introduced during the first two years of the war was to reserve occupations from military service. Occupations reserved were those which were essential for the production of equipment and supplies for the war effort. In 1940, the Minister for State of Defence Coordination published a List of reserved occupations (provisional) to ensure maximum manpower for the war effort. The list was devised to prevent the voluntary enlistment of skilled workers from essential services, such as munitions production. The list was not mandatory and it was open to anyone to seek release from their reserved occupations.

In early 1942, however, during the crisis of the Japanese advance in the Pacific, more than 100,000 men were called up for full-time service. The list of reserved occupations was not strong enough to administrate the demands of the services against the demands of industry and a labour crisis began to emerge.

So, in January 1942 a Manpower Directorate was established and took over responsibility for the List of reserved occupations. In March 1942 the list was replaced by a Schedule of reserved occupations and industrial priorities. The Director-General of Manpower was able to exempt any person from service in the armed forces; to declare that industries were “protected” and require that a permit be obtained for any change of employment. From March all labour required by unprotected establishments needed to apply for labour through the National Service offices and all unemployed persons were to register within seven days of becoming unemployed.

From the first of April 1942 all engagement of male labour was controlled and a national registration of both male and female labour was completed. The government had the power to say what every man should do whether in the armed services, war industry or civilian industry. The powers under the Manpower Regulations included:

Power to exempt a person from service or prohibit their enlistment
Prevent employers from engaging labour not authorised by the directorate
Restrict the right of employees to engage in the employment of their choice
Prevent employees from leaving their employment
Restrict the right of the employer to dismiss his employees
Power to direct any person to leave one employment and engage in another
And compel individuals to register and provide information about themselves.

ALL RESEARCH FROM BEDFORD PARK ABOVE.

The Vineyard and Winyard names were for a long time interchangeable alternatives, derived from the Old English wingeard in reference to a worker in a vineyard. Other variants of the name appear to include Wingard, Winnard (Lancashire), and various alternative spellings such as Vyniard, Wynyard and the like.

During the Middle Ages, the names appear to have been distributed around the country (de Winiard, 1212 Berkshire Curia Regis Rolls, de la Wingarde, 1275 Worcestershire Lay Subsidy, ate Wyneard, 1327 Somerset Lay Subsidy), but by the 17th century the only significant concentration of the Vineyard name which appears to have survived was in the area of the north-east Suffolk coast between Southwold and Lowestoft. The Winyard name appears to have been somewhat more widespread, with other notable early occurrences in Gloucestershire and London. By 1881, there were only about 30 Vineyards in the UK, with almost half of these born in Suffolk and a quarter in London, but four times as many Winyards. Apart from Suffolk (16% of total) and London (14%), the Winyard name was also notably represented in Durham (19%) and Sussex (16%), although it would appear that both these lines were offshoots of the Suffolk Winyards. It is also worth noting that the name Vinnard or Vennard (sometimes Viniard) appears in Cornwall in the 1760's and also in Scotland and Ireland, and it may be that there is an alternative origin for this apparent variant of the name. Descendants of this line ended up in the US, Canada and Australia. Another Wyneard (sometimes Wynnyard, Wineard) line occurs in the area around Marshfield, Gloucestershire in the early 17th century, although this family appears to have changed its name to England and disappeared locally by the 1650's. Finally, a local Wingard family has been documented in Weston, Suffolk in the latter half of the 18th century, and details are on the Pulford Family Genealogy page.

Edward and Sarah Winyard (alias Vinyard) had at least three sons born in the area around South Cove and Covehithe in Suffolk in the 1670's, and are currently the earliest known representatives of the family lines originating in this area, although it would appear that Edward's father was called Robert. Their descendants flourished locally down into the 19th century, and work continues in attempting to link in some of the more far-flung Winyard lines which originated in the area. An initial outline of their descendant tree is attached. Another early marriage of Michael Viniard and Elizabeth Brown in nearby Sibton in 1697 is evidence for an early presence there, and it would appear that the family also flourished in this area into the 19th century, when members of this branch moved to Durham and initiated the Winyard line in Boldon. Several probably related Vineyard lines also flourished a little further north, in Carlton Colville, where a William and Mary Vineyard had children in the 1740's - this line is being researched by Robert Green and is of interest to Robin Bishop (see interests).

180 In 1850 John Watts was the schoolteacher at the Church of England school at Burwood, Sydney.
He received a salary of P40 pa. He was teaching 32 boys and 15 girls, total 47 scholars.
(Source: 1850 Returns of Colony NSW)

From 1843 the picture becomes much more clear. Rowley and a number of
other citizens won the support of Judge Burton. who prevailed on Governor Gipps
to grant half an acre of land on trust to the Church of England for a school, and
the Lord Bishop of Australia advanced £40 from Diocesan funds towards the cost
of a building. Judge Burton raised the rest of the funds by private subscription, and
a brick schoolhouse to accommodate 80 pupils was built by John Lucas in Burwood
Road opposite Morton Street. The opening of this Burwood Subscription School
—later known as the Parochial School—was quite a gala occasion, and was very
fully reported in The Herald of 31st May, 1843. The main speaker was Judge
Burton, and there was a tree planting ceremony by Lady Gipps—but for the sixty
pupils in the gathering better things were in store.
"At the close of this part of the ceremony a liberal distribution
of plum cakes and other edibles amongst the young folk took place,
to which were added a no less bountiful scattering of toys suited to
the taste of the sexes respectively, and for which, we believe, they
are indebted to the kind liberality of the generous patron."

The school's original trustees were John Rowley, James Edrop and Thomas
Bray, and the first teachers were George Davis and his wife. Other esidents to
take an active interest in the early years were G. R. Nichols, M. M. Cohen, R.
Driver and James Powell. The school drew its pupils from quite a wide area
including Burwood, Concord and Mortlake, and was the district's main elementary
school until public schools were established many years later.
The earliest church services in the district seem to have been conducted by
Father Hallanan of Parramatta in Luke Daly's cottage on Parramatta Road, largely
for the benefit of the Canadian Exiles stationed at Longbottom Farm after the
-Canadian Rebellion of 1838. A little later St. Mary's Catholic Church—at first a
small wooden building—opened near the site of the present Church in 1846. It
was also used as an elementary school.
During these years Burwood had no Church of England, as it was included in
the parish of St. John's, Ashfield. Indeed the only Protestant church was begun by
a group calling themselves "The Burwood Christian Instruction Society" which
used to meet for worship in the mid-fifties at the home of Daniel Alderton, a
storekeeper on Parramatta Road. In 1857 they built a small wooden church further
along the road between Park and Grantham Streets. It'was open to preachers of all
evangelical denominations, and the trustees included two Baptists, a Presbyterian,
a Wesleyan and a Congregationalist.
Despite opening of the Sydney-Parramatta railway in 1855 Burwood remained
a roadside village at least till 1860. Its hinterland was still sparsely occupied by
small farms and gentlemen's country residences, but the stores and inns, the
parochial school and the little wooden churches were all at Longbottom or nearby
on the highway.

191 Jean-Baptiste writes to Sue Dippel in 2002:
…..”the old German empire (Holy Roman Empire). It was purely a political confederation, and did not confer rights of free movement. Each state in it was effectively a separate country where people had to follow the religion of their overlord. Not only were there laws against immigration but most territories had laws against their people leaving. Where there was migration, it was politically approved, either to repopulate after wars or to obtain skills.
The whole history of that era is about the struggle for liberty, for religious change and for German unity. It’s a mistake to assume that what was there at the end of the story was there from the beginning. Our people moved to Australia as a result of the new freedoms, but they still had to apply for permission to depart.
Our Dreis ancestors lived in the Rheingau region of a country called Nassau. There has been some historical research into out-groups that immigrated to the Rheingau: Jews, a few Italians, the occasional Swiss and a few brewers from Liege (modern Belgium). Protestants were not allowed. I’ve not heard of significant migration by Alsations to Nassau.
I take a major interest in migration, because Hannah Dreis married the son of Franz Bouffier of Concord, who was also a Rheingau emigrant. The Bouffiers had lived in the Rheingau for 250 years. I have been searching for the past 18 years for an explanation of why they had a French name, but have only found one migration episode that would be a possible explanation: the hiring of Liege brewers”.

194 Karen Cruickshank, daughter of Claire Bourke/Weir said:
“Nana told me her first suitor was a Frenchman who loved her smile and cheerfulness but he was older and she was in love with young Greenhalgh, who unfortunately bore the burden of his ne’er do well father who went through the family fortunes and left debts. Greenhagh’s wages were garnished accordingly and Nana made do as a seamstress until the police came and took her sewing machine away. She told me a horror story about having to go into the cells with a lunatic woman probably in the Parkes lockup. She left home according to Dulcie when Jean, her youngest, was six. There apparently was a wealthy Miss Samuels in the wings, whom Many thought would assist with support for the children, but I remember Lila and Jack telling Nana that her husband had died asking for her.
