Hawkesbury on the Net: Lists Register ~ Information on the Hawkesbury

The Hawkesbury Benevolent Society was established in 1818 with "the sole object of which shall be the support and relief by voluntary contributions of all real objects of charity within the districts of Windsor, Richmond, Wilberforce, Portland Head and Pitt Town." The first committee were elected in 1819 consisting of William Cox, Rev Robert Cartwright, James Mileham, John Brabyn, Archibald Bell, John Jones, Henry Baldwin, Thomas Pitt & George Hall. The Committee was to meet monthly & to provide "some permanent relief in aid of the poor, aged & infirm" in the district. The Society also hoped to assist families distressed from floods. The Hawkesbury Benevolent Society later took over the running of the Windsor Hospital in the 1840s and the society was disbanded only recently (in the 1980s) when the Western Area Health took over. The Society published Annual Reports from the early 1830s and listed subscribers and persons making donations of money & goods in kind which are a good source for family historians. These reports are in the Mitchell Library (as well as other miscellaneous papers) and the Windsor Library has an incomplete set of Annual Reports.

List of persons making a donation to the Hawkesbury Benevolent Society and listed in the "Annual Report of the Hawkesbury Benevolent Society & Windsor Hospital for the year 1846". A total of Ł64/7/9 was donated with amounts ranging from 2/6- to Ł4/14/9.
