"We are the ones who manage our condition. Our doctors are usually the guides/mentors we consult with and give us access to essential tools such as insulin." ~ The Quantified Self: a normal day with Type 1 Diabetes

Christian humanism - Shared prayer and devotion is a unification in faith. The risen Christ, His triumph over death and oppressive World Regimes, which today can be contemplated in the light of reading the Old Testament books of Hebrew origen.

The North of England was influenced by Irish and Scottish christian monks and the monastry on the Isle of Iona. This monastery was a centre of the early Celtic church associated with Saint Colmcille or Columba (521-597). His Irish name was Oileán Cholm Cille ‘Island of Colmcille’ or 'Dove of the Church’. It was Colmcille's monks who many years later produced the illuminated manuscript "Book of Kells", a Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables.

Palladius arrived the year 431, an early missionary from Gaul [France] and set up a Christian church in Laigin (Leinster) Ireland. The 'Cult of Patrick' was created by his monastery at Armagh exaggerating the importance of Patrick over other missionaries. As a young man, Patrick was kidnapped by an Irish raiding party, a practice common during the collapse of Roman Britain and sold into slavery and worked as a shepherd for 6 years in Ireland, before escaping to France. In 432 AD, aged about 60 years, now a saintly cleric, Patrick arrived in Ireland and began his work, converting both the powerful and the many.
Christianity came to the south of England in the papacy of Gregory I (540-604 AD). He sent Saint Augustine with missionaries in 597 to Kent and he baptised King Ethelbert. Augustine, in 601 was made Archbishop of Canterbury and the establishment of the christian church in England was completed.
Historical Background: About London, England, Non-conformist Registers, 1694-1921
In the 16th century the Church of England (Anglican Church) was established as a reformed version of Catholicism. This became the state church. Individuals remaining loyal to the church in Rome were referred to as Roman Catholics. Yet there were others non-conformists who broke off from Catholicism all together and became part of the Protestant movement. This includes Calvinists, Protestant, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, Wesleyan and Methodists. These people became known as Non-Conformists because of their non-conformity to the state religion. Generally speaking, the word “non-conformist” refers to any group that did not conform to the Church of England, including Roman Catholics, Jews, Quakers, Unitarians, the Salvation Army, the Protestant churches already mentioned, and simply non-religious people.
"In the eighteenth century, one group of Dissenters became known as "Rational Dissenters". In many respects they were closer to the Anglicanism of their day than other Dissenting sects; however, they believed that state religions impinged on the freedom of conscience. They were fiercely opposed to the hierarchical structure of the Established Church and the financial ties between it and the government. Like moderate Anglicans, they desired an educated ministry and an orderly church, but they based their opinions on reason and the Biblerather than on appeals to tradition and authority. They rejected doctrines such as the Trinity and original sin, arguing that they were irrational. Rational Dissenters believed that Christianity and faith could be dissected and evaluated using the newly emerging discipline of science, and that a stronger belief in God would be the result."
One group, predominantly Catholics, were The Pavee (Irish Traveler; Irish: an lucht siúil, Shelta: Pavee), a traditionally nomadic people of ethnic Irish origin, who maintain a separate language and set of traditions and live predominantly in the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Homeless Irish families drifted in with the traveling minstrels and eventually became the Irish Travelers. They camped in fields and acquired tents and the colorful wagons that resemble gypsy wagons. Gypsies were also regarded as predominantly Catholic in faith.
Prior to the 1830s very few Catholic parishes retained Baptismal record because Catholic priests were marginal persons in the eyes of the Anglican authorities and baptism into the Catholic faith was penalised under the law. Before 1830s baptism records[i], which could serve as evidence in a court, were seldom kept. Catholic parents had their children baptised as soon as possible after birth, usually within a week if the child was healthy, but even earlier if it was ill.
In Ireland where English landlords were unpopular, native cottiers (rural workers) farmed subsistence crops on small leased plots. As families grew they subdivided this land with their children, resulting in ever smaller plots, which is a poor farming practice that failed the Romano Britains in the 5th Century and the Itish also failed to weather the crop failures of 1840-1842, resulting in wide spread starvation, followed by an exodus of people to the towns and workhouses.
The Industrial Revolution in Britain provided for agrarian workers seeking to move to the town, however, manufacturing towns were unprepared for the increase in population which resulted. Over-crowding, poor hygiene and inadequate sanitation lead to regular outbreaks of cholera throughout the period from 1831-1867. Crimes borne from deprivation increased and many of those convicted of petty offences were transported to the colonies. Approximately 160,000 convicts were transported to Australia between 1787 and 1867.
It was into this world that our ancestors were born including emigrant Michael Egan born Broadford, County Clare, Ireland in 1846-47 and emigrant families of Donohoe, Lynch, Stormont, Hargrove and Wade, Ryan and Luck, Beck, Ritchie, Putland, Coates, Marjoram, Tabor, Sunderland, Pearson, Patrick, Watts and Lawless.
Those ancestors who left a troubled homeland and came to Australia believed they would forge a better life, particularly when they had heard about the incentive of work and reward of land grants prior to 1835 which enabled some people to realise this aspiration. Government and private schemes competed for people and equipment to be brought into the country and different kinds of early immigration schemes included:
1. Free settlers began as a trickle and increased during 1810-1821, the era of Governor Lachlan Macquarie, fifth governor of New South Wales.
2. Soldiers and Mariners, some of whom settled here on completing service.
3. Those subject to transportation for crimes who became convict settlers.
4. Government Schemes - 1822-1830 and 1837-1840.
a. Before 1835 money for passage was advanced to emigrants by the Government, to be paid back out of salary and when many refused to pay it back, the Government converted this Loan into a Free Bounty.
b. Settlers in N.S.W. were allowed to recruit their own workers in the U.K. and employed agents to do so. The Government had an Agent-General in London after 1837, and Agents in other embarkation ports.
