Thank you very much Ada. Yes she was a wonderful woman and we are all deeply indebted to her. I just hoped that there may be a judge's case book record in some law court library.

Hello Ann, I don't think you will have much luck... Deposition books (bare facts) 1836-1855 Diary of Court Cases 1852-1855 Cause List Books Police Cases 1859-1888 As you see, 1856 appears not to have survived. Marion Button would have been aware of this (She made the "Index to Prisoners" that the VPRO uses) and that's why she turned to the newspapers so researchers would find "something". Like all indexers, Marion (and myself and others) put in years to make indexes that family researchers can look up in seconds. In her last years of fighting cancer, she worked away, woolly cap on her head to cover loss of hair from the treatment, to complete the work she had started, which included insane asylums and newspaper adverts for "missing persons". Thankyou for referring to the compiler, most people disregard the worker and say "I found this" . I remember Marion's determination with fondness. She was a very approachable lady. Regards Ada Anne Hollingshead wrote: > I forgot to include the transcripts > > 31 Dec 1856 ARGUS > "Jane Thornton: a woman who looked as if she had once been a respectable > and who carried a child in her arms was charged with vagrancy.

I forgot to include the transcripts 31 Dec 1856 ARGUS "Jane Thornton: a woman who looked as if she had once been a respectable and who carried a child in her arms was charged with vagrancy. She was found lying in a case in a state of great apparent destitution. She said that she had lately come from Castlemaine and was footsore and miserable. The bench promised to give her a letter to the Immigrant's Home Committee." AND 31 Dec 1856 Port Phillip Herald "Jane Thornton was found at a late hour sleeping with her two children in an old case. She declares she is a fresh arrival from Castlemaine and had been deserted by her husband about twelve months ago. On being brought before the Court, she stated that she was in bad health, and utterly unable to work, whereupon the resident magistate remanded her with the view of preparing her admission to the Immigants Home" I could find no record in The Age. nne

Hello List. Is there a site where newspapers dating back to the 1990's can be read on line? Regards. Perle Brooking. Younghusband. South Australia.

Hello Everyone, I am looking for any information on John Harris and Elizabeth Tatham I dont know any info on John Harris but Elizabeth died 21 dec 1858 Children Robert Joseph HARRIS - Elizabeth Hibbert Elizabeth Ally - Samuel Williams Hannah Prudence - William Teague Henry Richard - Sophia Mary Cockle Christina Victoria - Nathaniel Fletcher thanking you Vanessa NewZealand

Hi Vanessa, This may be your Harris family arriving in Victoria 1853... http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=24 Family Name Given Name Age Month Year Ship Book Page HARRIS CHRISTINA 14 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 68 HARRIS ELIZABETH 43 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 66 HARRIS ELIZABETH 20 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 68 HARRIS HANNAH 18 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 68 HARRIS HENRY 17 MAR 1853 BRITISH EMPIRE 10 67 You can order a copy of the ship's list which will have more information, such as whether Elizabeth's husband was already deceased and where they were born & married. Elizabeth Harris nee Tetham death rego. states she was born in Isle. Isle of Man? Isle of Wight? or could just be the British Isles. Bit vague! :p Children's marriage dates... 1. Robert & HIBBERT - 1858 rego.295 2. Elizabeth jnr & WILLIAMS - 1853 rego.1432 3. Hannah & TEAGUE - 1859 rego.2557 4. Henry & COCKLE - 1861 rego.1369 5. Christina & FLETCHER - 1858 rego.296 Hmmm looks like Robert & Christina had a double wedding. :) Do you need any BDM's for descendants? Henry Richard HARRIS d.1882 rego.11779 Fitzroy - age 48 - c.1834 This is interesting... on Elizabeth Ally's death rego. (1914) her mother is listed as Elizabeth 'Redhead' Tatham. :) Elizabeth Ally was 83, so birth year c.1831 and on Robert Joseph's death in 1887 (rego.7947 - c.1828) his mother's name is given as 'REDHEAD'. Tatham is not mentioned. Hannah died 1890 rego.9314 - age 57 c.1833 Christina Victoria d.1923 rego.14672 - age 86 c.1837 Possible birth... Surname Given Name District Volume Page Births Mar 1838 HARRIS Christiana Victoria Sheffield 22 460 The district Sheffield spans the boundaries of the counties of South Yorkshire and West Riding of Yorkshire This is interesting too.. where does the name 'Derrippe, Drippe, Derippe' come from? As Elizabeth Ally & Hannah Prudence used this name as a middle name for their girls, I would assume it came from their side of the family. Kind regards, Sherrie.
