Bristol Oaten family in Australia

A Transcript from The Bristol Evening Post of 1963.

When Thomas Oaten arrives in Bristol on Wednesday (1963), he will be an ambassador from the many Bristolians now living in Mayfield, Newcastle, Australia. The Bristol colony began when John Lysaght, Ltd., opened a factory in Newcastle, New South Wales, in 1920. Many families from Bristol and Newport emigrated. Thomas's mother, Rose Claridge, was taken out as a little girl from her home in Barton Hill; his father, Fred Oaten, went out in 1925 from St. Philip's March, known in the old days as "Monkeytown." His uncle, Mr. George Oaten, who also married a Bristol girl in Australia, is now a magistrate in Mayfields. Thomas will stay in Bristol with his aunt, Mrs. Thomas Linton, of 23, London Road, St. Paul's. "This is a marvelous chance to repay a debt of gratitude," said Mrs. Linton. Thomas's mother sent the family food parcels right through the war. I don't know what we would have done without them." Thomas (21) is a plumber. He intends to stay at least two years working in Bristol and visiting his relations. "Perhaps Thomas will marry a Bristol girl and take her to Australia, just like the rest of the family," said Mrs. Linton.


A Transcript from The Bristol Times and Mirror of 27 October 1897.
With reference to Henry Oaten (born 1849) who was married to Jane Strickland

A GOOD CHARACTER TARNISHED
Henry Oaten (48), on bail, pleaded guilty to maliciously damaging the plate-glass window of Messrs. Salmon and Gluckstein, Limited, in Wine Street, value £30, on September 22. Mr Albert Petter said he had known the prisoner for 25 or 30 years. He had been employed by John Lysaght, Limited, and a more intelligent, conscientious workman they had not in their service. He asked for leniency for the prisoner, who was specially rewarded by the late Mr. Lysaght some years ago for his fidelity to the firm. In answer to the Recorder, Mr. Petter stated that he would be surety for the man's good behaviour for six months. The prisoner was bound over to keep the peace for six months, and to come up for judgment at the next sessions, by which time he undertook to pay £5 damages.
