Hanslow family Australia

Journal by wizard28

I would like info on Peter Hanlow ( Birth 14 February 1798 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Death 28 Feb 1866 in Redfern, NSW Australia) and Benjamin James Hanslow (Birth 1805 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Death 1857 in Chippendale, New South Wales, Australia). Their parents were John Hanslow Birth 26 Dec 1761 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire and Rebbeca Davis Birth 1 May 1768 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. Peter was sent out to NSW as a convict in 1818 and Benjamin was sent in 1823

I understand they had bars, hotels, and warehouses in the Sydney area. Does anyone have any info on this or photo's,
I believe they were gunsmiths by trade.
I have England side of family back to 1724

Yes I've seen the name in the licensing lists. Peter Hanslow had the Dog and Duck There was a John too, may have been a son.
Go into TROVE advance search, put Hanslow in the box and NSW and the dates between about 1850 and 1880 and 'voila'
Also you can search the index's online in State Records a keyname search is the easiest.
Here is NSW.BDM .

We're so lucky nowadays to have so much online..

Do you know if Benjamin James Hanslow had was in business with his brother.

I found your licensing list post.

I really have no idea; but, I wouldn't think openly. Benjamin had a criminal record so Peter would not have risked his license by being in business with him and Benjamin certainly would not have been granted a license.
Benjamin was a blacksmith and a butcher and I notice the Dog and Duck had a butcher shop attached to it. Perhaps Benjamin at one time occupied it. Also the Dog and Duck was the stagecoach terminus for the Sydney to Windsor trip. Benjamin would have found plenty of work as a blacksmith.
Keep reading! Eventually it will all come together.

Thanks again for your reply

My wife was a Hanslow and Peter and Benjamin would have been my wife's 3rd great grand uncles.

They were both criminals sent to Australia.

I think Hanslows had the Horse & Jockey 293 Sydney 1839; Angel Inn 829 Liverpool Rd Sydney ; Royal Forrester, Lansdowne St Sydney plus the Dog & Duck George St Sydney .

Not certain which years

They were both 'convicts.' Peter went straight after his convict pardon.
But Benjamin did time here for stealing and larceny. Sydney Quarter Sessions
Publican's Licenses for Hanslow
Yes! Peter's first hotel was the 'Horse and Jockey'
The Benjamin with the license at the Royal Forester is son of Benjamin and Catherine he was born in 1834. Benjamin Snr. was dead in 1857.
As for 'The Angel Inn' the Licensee 'John' could be Benjamin and Catherine's other son b:1829

John Hanslow whether related or not was only in possession of the Angel Inn for a little less than 4 months when Albermarle Layard (the Realtor of the day) first placed this ad. in several newspapers every week from January to May 1855.
THE ONLY CHANCE OF A FORTUNE
for Moderate Capitalists, requiring but little labour, and affording a delightful residence. -Mr. ALBEMARLE LAYARD begs to announce to his numerous friends in the public line, that he has received instructions from Mr. Hanslow (who is obliged to return to Europe immediately) which enables him with all truth and sincerity, to issue the above declaration - in other words, Mr. Hanslow has authorised him to dispose of the ANGEL HOTEL, on the Liverpool Road, well known as one of the very few Australian prototypes of the old-fashioned English roadside Inn.
The Angel Hotel is situate d about eight miles from Sydney on the Liverpool Road, the prlncipal thoroughfare to the interior of the country ; and it may be fairly stated, that there is no house between Sydney and Liverpool that can in any way bear comparison with the Angel in point of accommodation, and consequently of custom. But a better idea of the business done there may be formed by the uninitiated, from the fact that the weekly takings exceed Seventy Pounds. That the rent of this incomparable property including 40 acres of land, divided into paddocks, is only One Hundred and Twenty Pounds per annum, or Ten Pounds per month.
Mr. LAYARD further begs to remind intending purchasers, that while from its proximity to the the metropolis, the Angel has equal advantages with any house in the city for the obtaining of stores easily and cheaply, there are not above three houses in the whole city of Sydney doing as good a trade.
The elegant and highly valuable furniture with which the Angel is replete, may betaken, or not, at a valuation, at the option of any in-coming tenant.
Terms, &c, may be learned on application to Mr. LAYARD, 36, Hunter-street.
