Source: Summary of the life of James Hannell
Details: James Hannell was born on 1 December 1813 at Parramatta, the eldest son of the three sons of convicts James Walton and Elizabeth Hannell. His rise from the son of convicts to a leading political and civic figure illustrates the social mobility possible in colonial Australia through perseverance and public service. His leadership in founding institutions such as hospitals, schools, and regattas, highlights the role local leaders played in shaping civic life in early Australian towns. Educated at Christ Church School, Newcastle, he served with the Newcastle police in 1833-36. On 12 March 1836 he married Mary Anne Sophia, second daughter of Edward Priest. He became a respected and influential figure in Newcastle. He rose through hard work and integrity to become a publican, auctioneer, philanthropist, and prominent politician. He held many key roles in civic life: he was the first auctioneer in Newcastle, its first mayor (elected four times), and also served as Mayor of Wickham. Hannell was deeply involved in community development, supporting the Newcastle Hospital, Mechanics School of Arts, public education, and local infrastructure improvements. He worked on committees, chosen by the citizens to wait upon Sir George Gipps, Sir Wm. Denison, Sir Charles Fitzroy, and others, urging upon them the necessity of the many improvements required in the port of Newcastle. In his earlier days, James Hannell, with a few other old residents, joined in the establishment of the artillery corps. He was church- warden of St. Johns parish for many years and was annually chosen as its lay representative at the Church of England Synod. He was an advocate for liberal policies, a supporter of free trade, and voted for progressive reforms in land and education. His personal character was widely admired; he was generous, courteous, and often helped the less fortunate at his own expense. He died on December 31, 1876, and left behind a legacy of public service and family devotion.
