Abstract

John Armstrong conducted schools in Sydney during the 1840s and early 1850s. The surviving portion of his diary opens a fascinating window on the cultural and political climate in Sydney at this time. Born in Ireland on 23 February 1814, Armstrong was the eldest child of Bridgit (née Couglin) and Edward George Armstrong of Castleview, King's County. His grandfather had been a substantial landowner. An able scholar, Armstrong received a sound commercial education and worked as a farm overseer before emigrating in October 1839. He was accompanied on the voyage to New South Wales by his bride of 12 days, Marion (née Pike), a 19-year-old school teacher.
