Samuel Smith (Australian Politician)
Samuel "Sam" Smith (1857 – 22 January 1916) was an Australian union official and politician. Smith's early life is unclear in that his parliamentary biography states he was born on 17 February 1857 in Ayrshire, Scotland, to Samuel Smith and Marion Hunter, while the City of Sydney Archives states that he was born on 29 January 1857 in Glasgow, to Elizabeth Hunter and David Smith, shoemaker. He attended school at Kilwinning and became a colliery lad at the age of eleven, becoming active in the Glasgow Railway and Seaman's Union. In 1882 he arrived in Sydney and helped found the local Seamen's Union, of which he was assistant secretary in 1890 and secretary from 1891 to 1902. He was a member of the Loyal United Brothers lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the member for Sydney-Pyrmont and the 1898 election and was re-elected at the 1901 election, serving until his resignation in 1902. He was a Sy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Ayrshire
A person (plural, : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal obligation, legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its us ...

The Sun (Sydney)
''The Sun'' was an Australian afternoon tabloid newspaper, first published under that name in 1910. History ''The Sunday Sun'' was first published on 5 April 1903. In 1910 Hugh Denison founded Sun Newspaper Ltd and took over publication of the old and ailing and ''Australian Star'' and its sister ''Sunday Sun'', appointing Monty Grover as editor-in-chief. The ''Star'' became ''The Sun'', and the ''Sunday Sun'' became ''The Sun: Sunday edition'' on 11 December 1910. According to its claim, below the masthead of that issue, it had a "circulation larger than that of any other Sunday paper in Australia". Denison sold the business in 1925. In 1953, The Sun was acquired from Associated Newspapers by Fairfax Holdings in Sydney, Australia, as the afternoon companion to ''The Sydney Morning Herald''. At the same time, the former Sunday edition, the ''Sunday Sun'', was discontinued and merged with the ''Sunday Herald'' into the tabloid '' Sun-Herald''. Publication of ''The Sun'' ...

Lilyfield, New South Wales
Lilyfield is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Lilyfield is located 6 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Inner West Council. Lilyfield is nestled in between the suburbs of Annandale, Rozelle and Leichhardt and is bounded to the west by Iron Cove. Originally a working-class area, today Lilyfield like many inner-city suburbs is becoming increasingly gentrified. Property investors, eager to capitalise on the suburb's proximity to the Sydney CBD, have purchased many of the original workers' cottages to renovate or develop. Although predominantly middle class, the suburb still retains some of its working-class roots and like its neighbouring suburbs, is home to people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. History Popular belief has it that the area was once farmland and was named for the lilies that reportedly grew in the fields. However, its name origin remains unclea ...
