Biographies
Emanuel Wring was born in Wiveliscombe in 1808, and took up his father's trade as a shoe and boot maker (currier). At the age of 24, he was arrest and convicted of house-breaking in Somerset Assizes on 13 August 1832. Emanuel had no previous convictions and was described as having dark sallow complexion, black hair and chestnut eyes. As a result of his crime he was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to transportation for life. [#]
Emanuel was moved to the hulks on the Thames and only waited four months before he was put on board the "Mangles" which set sail for Australia on 14 December 1832. Four months later the "Mangles" arrived in Sydney on 19 April 1833. By 1837, Emmanuel was working for Henry Donnison at Brisbane Water (Gosford), When a fellow convict Aquilla Harris died in 1840 he apparently owed Emanuel Wring money and when his tools and effects were sold by the Chief Constable of Brisbane Water, Wring was paid the money he was owed.
In 1843 Rev Edward Rodgers of Brisbane Waters applied for permission to marry Emanuel Wring aged 33 and Ann Coulson aged 22 who had arrived free on the Champion in 1842. Ann Coulson was a protestant farm servant from Cockeil, Monaghan, Ireland whose parents were dead. She came out on the Champion with her sister Jane aged 22 under the protection of Mr O'Donnell and his wife. William Coulson aged 19 from Monoghan whose parents James and Elizabeth Coulson were both dead, travelled on the same ship and could have been a brother.
Permission for the marriage was granted and the couple were married in the District of Brisbane Water on 20 March 1843. Emanuel received his Ticket of Leave on 10 April 1843 - three weeks after his marriage. Five years later, a conditional pardon was recommended by Henry Donnison and John Moore and was approved on 3 December 1847.
Emanuel worked at his trade of shoe and boot maker. He and Ann had seven children:
- David Wring - born 1843 in NSW; married Hannah Eliza Goodworth on 24 May 1865 at Musswellbrook; died 20 Jan 1909 aged 66 in Scone
- William Wring - born 1845 in NSW; married Mary Ann Haynes
- James Wring - born 1846 in NSW; died 1888 aged 42 at Orange, NSW
- Edwin Wring - born 1850 in NSW; married 25 January 1878 to Ellen Amelia Munro in Liverpool; died 7 July 1921 aged 71 at Redfern, NSW

- Emanuel Milton Wring - born 25 November 1856 at Erina, NSW; died 30 May 1935 aged 78 at Canterbury; NSW
Around 1860, Emanuel & Ann moved from Gosford to Botany Street Waterloo. Emanuel died at the age of 83 on 11 January 1892 of "natural decay" which he suffered for three weeks at St Silas Place, Waterloo. He was buried on 13 January 1892 at the Necropolis (Rookwood). Ann died three years later on 30 May 1895 aged 78 of nervous apoplexy (probably a stroke) after an illness of one day at Bank St, Botany. She was buried 1 June 1895 at the Church of England cemetery, Rookwood.
