Hi, Lesly sent me info as below. Coming out of Tassie to Melbourne. But, my John George Brunt married 1851 in Melbourne, first child born 1852. Is it possible it was him? Could he have got married, gone back to Tassie served his sentence or got pardoned? Long stretch but I cant find anyone close to my bloke! I have all the papers on this mans escape, etc but thought he was not mine??? Brunt John Steerage Halcyon 23 Mar 1852 Launceston Melbourne Emily Free by servitude POL220/1/1 p623 karen S Melbourne.

Hi Karen In an email you sent me some weeks ago, you stated that he married Mary Anderson on 9th Jan 1852, but you now say 1851? I cannot find it in the BDMs. The information I sent regarding that convict appeared to match up pretty well with the other detail you gave me, such as age and place of birth. 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 Karen seckold Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 7:40 AM To: aus-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-CON] Possible convict connection and question.

Hi Lesley, They married in 9 jan 1852, in Geelong Victoria. I have the cert and all the kids from that marriage. My GGrandmother is one of them so I know it is right. So I didn't think what you sent me was the right one. He died 1903 in Melbourne but no parents listed on the cert. but he did say 52 years in Australia. This man was 49 for 3 years, fathered 3 children to his 3rd wife when he was 60+. His parents change on a few cert, just the mother and the place of birth. Might be 2 different people? I have confirmed the three marriages as his. What I am looking for is how did he get here and when. There was a convict in Tassie came out on the Emily but was not released until mar 1852. When he traveled to Melbourne I found a John Brunt convict from Sydney this morning will look into him but just don't know. I thought I thanked you, sorry about that. I get a bit mixed up sometimes! So thank you again. Great list by the way. Very helpful people. karen s Melbourne.
