    3. Yes, she could have married at 15 - many did, although as a minor required the consent of her parents or guardians. The Indent states that Jane Williams per "Burrell" was single and arrived with no children. It is always worthwhile to check the Indent when researching convicts. Jane didn't disappear after 1834 as she received her Certificate of Freedom in 1839 (State Records of NSW) Regards Lesley Uebel mailto:ckennedy@bigpond.net.au CLAIM A CONVICT http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/index.html -----Original Message----- From: aus-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Gavin and Marites Spicer Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 6:10 PM To: aus-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-CON] Jane williams & George Currey whereabouts Hi Recently I was informed that Jane Williams my great great grandmother was a convict. She arrived on the Burrell in 1832 and in 1833 married George Currey. As far as I know there is only one child in their marriage her baptism was registered in 1834 Jane Curry (great grandmother) she latter married a convict named Robert Lovelock in 1847.Her age at marriage seems very young , was it permitted for marriages to be allowed at 15, or is there any record to see if she came out as a baby with her mother Jane Williams on the Burrell. Also I am really baffled at the whereabouts of Jane (Williams) Currey and husband George Currey. Can anybody please help. They just seemed to of vanished after the baptism of the baby in 1834. Thank you Gavin
