| Deaths Sep 1859 GRIFFITHS, George Richard Windsor district 2c 259 ----- Griffiths, George Richard (1802-1859) by G. P. Walsh This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 1, (MUP), 1966 George Richard Griffiths (1802-1859), merchant and banker, was born on 25 March 1802 in London, the third son of John Griffiths, surgeon, of London and County Carmarthen, Wales, and his wife Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of William Neville Hart of London. He was appointed secretary of the London office of the Bank of Australasia in June 1835 and in 1838 inspector or superintendent of all its branches in the Australasian colonies in place of George Kinnear. He arrived in Sydney on 5 June 1839 and lost no time in assessing the opportunities for financial enterprise. The London board had decided upon a branch in New Zealand in 1839 but Griffiths, unimpressed by reports and prospects, advised against it; later he changed his opinion, but the bank hesitated and deferred the opening of New Zealand branches. In February 1840 he wrote to the Colonial Office on the general state and prospects of the Australian colonies; his letter was referred to the Colonial Land and Emigration Commission which reported on it. On being refused an increase in salary he resigned from the bank in 1842 and was succeeded by W. H. Hart. Griffiths then turned to other enterprises. He began business as a merchant and commission agent under the name of Griffiths, Gore & Co., and later Griffiths, Fanning & Co. He was a candidate for the directorship of the Sydney Alliance Assurance Co. and by 1843 he was a local director of the Union Bank, and had a licence to depasture stock beyond the Portland Bay limits. His firm owned Wooroowoolgen station on the Richmond River and original shares in the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. His opinion was often sought by select committees of the legislature on financial matters, such as the debenture bill in 1841 and in 1843 on the causes of the depression, which he claimed arose from over-speculation through excessive bank loans; his suggested remedies were the decreasing of expenditure to the lowest practicable level, checking of the prevailing lavish system of credit and 'reducing our imports to what we can fairly pay for'. In 1844 he was appointed a justice of the peace for the city of Sydney, but declined nomination to the Legislative Council as representative for Melbourne. He lived at Orwell, Woolloomooloo, till 1847 when he bought Clarens at Darlinghurst (Potts Point). There he was a friend and host to Thomas Huxley who visited Sydney in the Rattlesnake in 1847; it was in the gardens of Clarens that Huxley became engaged to Henrietta Heathorn whom he later married. On his return to England in 1853 Griffiths lived at Castle Hill, Englefield Green, Surrey. He died on 17 August 1859. He had married on 10 September 1836 Laetitia, daughter of Samuel Chatfield of Battersea Rise, Surrey. She died on 28 December 1891. They had eight sons and three daughters. Two of the sons, William Russell (1845-1910), and the youngest, Herbert Tyrrell (1853-1905), were educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, and adopted law and medicine as their respective professions; the second son, George Neville (b.1840), was also a Cambridge graduate (Trinity College). The eldest son, Frederick Close (b.1838), married Annette Agnes, daughter of Joseph Scaife Willis (1808-1897), a prominent Sydney commercial figure. |
| Griffiths, Glynde Nesta (1889-1968) by Martha Rutledge This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 14, (MUP), 1996 Glynde Nesta Griffiths (1889-1968), author and philanthropist, was born on 4 July 1889 at Double Bay, Sydney, youngest of three daughters of Frederick Close Griffiths, a merchant from London, and his native-born wife Annette Agnes, daughter of Joseph Willis. Grand-daughters of George Richard Griffiths, Nesta and her sisters Gwyneth (1885-1940) and Gwendolen Winifred (1886-1968) grew up at Point Piper and were educated privately (by special teachers for different subjects) with their cousins, the daughters of Edward Knox. Frederick died in 1907, leaving his affairs in confusion: Gwyneth and Nesta taught dancing at Westwood school and Gwendolen taught mathematics. In 1910 Gwyneth married Henry Dunster Baker, the American vice-consul in Sydney. Small, 'with blue eyes and long golden-red hair', Nesta 'enjoyed theatre, music, books, travelling, paintings and early morning swims at Nielsen Park'. She played tennis and-like Gwendolen-belonged to Royal Sydney Golf Club. After their mother's death in 1929, the sisters acquired a spacious flat in Silchester, Bellevue Hill, where they lived companionably for the rest of their lives. Starting with little money, Gwendolen invested shrewdly on the stock market and their flat was gradually filled with antique furniture, paintings and objets d'art. They remained careful in their daily life, but were very generous to their friends. For many years a committee-member of the Bush Book Club of New South Wales, Gwendolen enjoyed reading the New Yorker. She joined the Queen's Club. Nesta, who drove the car, was a foundation member of the Macquarie Club. They regularly attended the High Church services at St James's, King Street. Accustomed to roaming the world from an early age, they sailed in cargo boats, 'motored from the western shores of France to old Vienna' and 'climbed the towers of Rhenish castles'. Britain, Japan, Java, South Africa and North America (including Alaska) were among the places they visited. Their absorbing interest was other people's lives. A member (from 1923) of the Royal Australian Historical Society, Nesta combed through old books and documents in the Mitchell Library and History House, and engaged in field-work: she and Gwendolen stayed, sometimes for weeks, at the country homes of their friends and relations. Nesta's first book, Point Piper Past and Present (1947), was a limited edition published by S. Ure Smith. It was followed by Some Houses and People of New South Wales (1949), Some Southern Homes of New South Wales (1952) and Some Northern Homes of N.S.W. (1954). Although her books suffered from lack of editing, the absence of indexes, the omission of references, and occasional inaccuracies, she preserved 'the recollections of an earlier generation'. Her habit of 'strewing bright irrelevances' gave the books much of their charm. She revived interest in the architect John Verge and created awareness of an endangered heritage. Generations of children climbed the stairs to have afternoon tea with 'the Griffi'-as they were affectionately, if disrespectfully, known-and were allowed to touch the treasures. Milk was served in a 'creamer' (a jug in the shape of a cow). The sisters invariably changed for dinner and swept into the kitchen to cook in long dresses. Both were enthusiastic bridge players and entertained friends at home or at one of their clubs. Taller, and more astringent, exacting and down-to-earth than her sister, Gwendolen was the kinder; Nesta, who asked impertinent questions and indulged in malicious gossip about those of whom she disapproved, could look almost vixenish. They died at Silchester in 1968, Gwendolen on 13 January and Nesta on 4 June; both were cremated. Admiring the work of Sir Lorimer Dods, they had contributed handsomely to the Children's Medical Research Foundation. Nesta bequeathed the residue of her estate, sworn for probate at about $300,000, to the foundation; Gwendolen preferred to provide for Dods's grandchildren. |
