Barling Family
Barlings Beach is named after the Barling Family. We are fortunate to have some information about them, it's below.
RICHARD & MARY BARLING
Richard Barling was born in 1809 in Kent. He was a farm labourer and shepherd. He immigrated to Sydney on the Westminster in 1838 with his wife Mary, daughter Cecilia and son George. There was a young girl Elizabeth who came with them who was not their daughter but her name was Elizabeth Barling and she could have been a niece or cousin.
Extract from a record written by Cecilia sometime between 1893 and 1920:
“Upon arrival at Sydney our family, consisting of my parents, one brother and myself, took up our quarters at “The Depot”. After a brief stay there, my father was engaged by Mr Campbell, a Scotchman, to go to Moruya to be overseer of the convicts, and serve out rations, etc. He held that position for about two years. At the end of that time the convicts were granted their tickets of leave, but had to report themselves every two months at Broulee, as that was then the township, which in addition to a few other slab buildings, contained a court-house and a lock-up. Messrs Campbell, Flanagan, John Hawdon, and Captain Oldrey were the four magistrates.
They all had grants of land, and all the work of clearing land, building, etc. was done by the convicts.”
“The Depot” in Sydney, originally built as convict quarters by convict architect Francis Greenway (1777-1837), became an immigration depot and later a women’s asylum. It is now part of Hyde Park Barracks.
Children of Richard and Mary Barling:
Elizabeth Barling (known as Betsy) married John Kendall (a convict) and had four children.
She then married Alfred Alliban (also a convict) then Stephen Richardson in about 1874. Elizabeth is buried in the Nelligen C of E cemetery.
Alfred Alliban was granted his Ticket of Leave in 1835 for the area of St. Vincent. He died at Tomakin in 1890 and is buried in the Moruya cemetery. Extract from his will: “I also give and devise absolutely and forever all my fifty acres of land situate in the county of St Vincent bounded by the Candlegut Creek being part of the Oldrey Estate to my son Alfred Allabin and my daughter Sarah Sebbins 25 acres each to my son Alfred and 25 acres my daughter Sarah….”
Cecilia Ann Barling, born in Kent 1832, died 1925 in NSW. She married her first husband James Sebbens (a convict) when she was 18. James was assigned to serve his time at Broulee and received his Certificate of Freedom in 1848. He, Cecilia and their 14 children lived on a property called Oaks Ranch, southwest of Candlagan Creek in the Tomakin area.
James was the first settler at Rosedale in the county of St. Vincent and his brother-in-law Karl Thomsen was the first settler at the western end of the valley. James cleared the bush to establish Rosedale Farm and also parts of Burri/Guerilla Bay. In 1884 he had cleared 2 acres of land, and 38 acres of land with ringbarked trees and a house. This was developed into a farm of 700 acres. They owned 430 acres and occupied, but had no title to 285 of the acres they farmed. They were mostly dairy farmers producing cheddar cheese. Their farmhouse burnt down in the late 19th century. In 1908 the farm was sold and they moved to Western Sydney and farmed poultry. James died in 1876 at Broulee. Cecilia married Henry Rose in 1863. Henry died at Tomakin in 1906.
George Andrew Barling, born in Kent in 1836, died 1905 at Tomakin, and buried in the Moruya cemetery. He married Mary Ann Fitzpatrick at Braidwood in 1861. They had ten children most of whom lived in the Moruya, Mogo, Queanbeyan area.

In Richard’s Will he left his property to his wife, daughter Elizabeth Mary Innes and son Frederick Joseph Barling with the instructions Frederick was to give to his daughter Rachel Martha Alliban four acres of land to build a house thereon and he bequeathed Rachel a portion of land at Tomago known as Sound Flat.

They had 12 children all born at Tomakin, Goulburn, Broulee, or Mudgee. John died at Mullenderee and is buried in the Moruya Cemetery.
