Upon reading my earlier message I concede how it might have been misconstrued. My apologies again. Notwithstanding, I stand by all comments in the messages I have posted after that. Kerri

I too have wondered the same thing many times, Annette. Many times. Now I am REALLY wondering why my good humoured posting had drawn this response and I have never heard a murmur before in support of some poor Listers who have been grossly insulted. Is there a sub-culture here of which I am not aware? I think if you go back over the posts to this site you will find evidence of my absolute good manners and patience in the face of some sometimes very insulting remarks. I have kept copies if you do not know to which ones I refer. I am happy to send them on to you. I think there is a loss of perspective here. "Showing off' - an act of showing or bringing to notice! For heaven's sake - could everyone lighten up a little - or at least get as affronted by the real insults that turn up on this site in answer to some Listers' questions.

Hello Carol, the second number certainly is 40/1939 and is taken from a copy of the Ships muster for the Asia upon arrival in Sydney 1831. If it of any help the name above is McCormick and the reference number there seems to be C39/55/36/880 For any suggestions I will be most grateful.

Hi Allan, All I can think of is that the second number is Ticket of Leave or Certificate of Freedom No. 1939 issued in 1840. The other numbers have me stumped. My convict came in 1837 and all the women on the ship had a number starting with 37 then -116 etc which was said to be their prisoner number. They were from Ireland. The next column then had another number of 2 or 3 digits - no idea what this one was for as it did not follow their alphabetical listing but seems to coincide with the number of women on the ship. My lady was 37-100 65 Maybe they did not embark in alphabetical order (grin). As they came from different prisons all over Ireland maybe the first number was issued in the different prisons they were in or, as they were all collected from their different villages and sent to the Cork Gaol prior to being taken to the ship, maybe this number was issued there. Carol

How sad that you have misunderstood my sense of humour Carole! My message was purely meant as a good-humoured note of how EVERYONE loves to show off ("showing off" meant in the nicest possible way as I have yet to meet a genie who didn't like to take the opportunity to air their knowledge.) If I have offended, my apologies. I am at a loss to understand why this kind of response would have been draw from you considering the extremely nasty comments I have seen pass on this site with never a mention made over the last few years. Some of the remarks so cutting and biting that I literally cringed on behalf of the recipients. As I said I am at a loss to understand your response. I recall recently when someone posted a most inappropriate joke (albeit as it turned out by error) on this site recently and I objected (before it was apparent it was an "accident") and I commented that I found it most inappropriate, not only was there hardly murmur from others BUT those who DID echo my objections were put down in a most rude and uncalled for way. I find this most puzzling. Perhaps I may have been better off posting a risqué joke! There is great fun in having some information to pass on to someone who may be needing it. The term "show off" is meant in its absolute literal sense and not as a barb. Please chill out, Carole - I hope to see in the future, as a quick a response to the comments posted here which ARE downright spiteful and nasty. I can't imagine why you take offence but it seems you have. Childish? You are entitled to your own opinions as am I. And over the years I have been shocked at some of the comments posted on this site with not, as I said, a murmur. I don't believe everybody's motives in passing on information are entirely altruistic do you?

Kerri We all at times need to stop and reread what we have written, and try to see how the reader may perceive it. Humour does not always come across in words, as you probably know so much of what we say is to others is non-verbal. There is also a generally accepted meaning for the expression "showing off". Thinking before pressing the send button is something we all should do, and I include myself.

Love it when I see questions that I have been wondering about myself! Come on Listers - I am waiting to see how long it takes for an answer to the question about the numbers.

I am looking for SANDERSON ancestors who may have left Quebec before/during/after the 1837 Rebellion. I'm wondering if some people from Canada went to Australia - NSW, after the Rebellion but were not listed as prisoners? Our ancestor seems to have disappeared for about four years between 1836/1837 and 1838/1840. These SANDERSON people have family connections to the JARRET/BEAUREGARD and VASSEUR/BELISLE families. Thanks for any help. Ilene

Hi Michelle Robert Poplin (Poplan, Popling and various spellings) was tried at the April Quarter Sessions of Peace in 1792. Age given was 18 and he described himself as a Labourer. He had been sentenced to serve 7 years Robert Poplin was buried at the old Sydney Burial Ground cemetery where the Town Hall now stands in Sydney in 1806 Check the City of Sydney web site at: http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/AboutSydney/HistoryAndArchives/OldSydneyBuria lGround.asp#DL and if that does not work try: http://tinyurl.com/3ee2fl The Sydney Gazette has a short article about him - dated 4 March 1804 Joseph Griffin exhibited a Complaint against Robert Poplin, for having wickedly and designedly thrown at him a number of stones, one of which struck and wounded him on the head, without any other provocation than that of going into his boat in order to secure his own; which Poplin admitted to be the case; but added, that in doing so he had made a conveniency of his, and was so altogether unconcerned at her safety that he had momentarily expected to behold her bottomless, a prospect by which he was most irritated: and that after repeatedly ordering him to quit her without effect, had recourse to the measure of PELTING the Complainant, who accidentally received a blow from a stone that actually was not designed to strike him, but which was attended with the most salutary consequences to his boat. They were permitted to withdraw in order to a private adjustment, but the complainant setting too exorbitant a price upon his head, it was again submitted to the Bench, who ordered a Fine of Twenty Shillings to be paid to the Orphan Institution. According to the NSW BDMs on-line he had one child with Elizabeth Jones V18021149 1A/1802 POPLING ROBERT ROBERT ELIZABETH (JONES) In the 1828 NSW Census Robert junior may have changed his name to James and he is listed as an Overseer working for James Hassell at Bathurst James (or Robert junior) appears to have married Mary Ivory in 1834 in Sydney and they had a number of children up till about 1854. It may be James who died in 1886 at Burrowa I note that you have claimed him on my web site regards Lesley Uebel mailto:ckennedy@bigpond.net.au CLAIM A CONVICT http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/index.html
