• Notes

  Stephen Scholey was apprenticed at an early age as a butcher in Leeds , West Riding, Yorkshire, England, eventually owning his own business . He was still in the business register there in 1853, when he was re sident at 27 Trafalgar Street, Leeds. His father died leaving extensi ve real estate in and around Holbeck, Leeds. About 1855 we find Steph en in East Maitland, New South Wales, with a commission from the Imper ial Government (Letters Papent, signed by the colony's governor, wit h colony's Great Seal appended today in the possession of his great, g eat, great grandson, Gregory Lauder-Frost, of Berwickshire, Scotland ) to be Warden of the said district and to establish local governmen t there. He became, in the process, a stock agent and gradually diver sified his business and political interests becoming Member of the Ne w South Wales Legislative Assembly for East Maitland. He was a frien d and collegue of the famous NSW Parliamentarian Sir Henry Parkes an d a leading light in the temperance movement. Stephen Scholey died fr om a ruptured duodenal ulcer whilst still a sitting member. His brothe s and sister had remained in Leeds. (Source: Liddell Family Tree)
