Ancestry Death Thomas Craigie 1874 in Sydney Reg: No 1843 Vol MO NSW BDM 1874 Thomas Craigie age 56 dies at sea Hope this helps you Josephine Bris Qld I have found a record on Ancestry.com of an entry in the 1863 Darlinghurst NSW Gaol “Description and Entrance Books” for a Thomas CRAIGIE (NSW Archives record). Apparently he was admitted to the gaol on 24 Dec 1863 and released on 31 Dec. He was committed by one John Williams and sentenced to 8 days labour for “Disobedience of Orders”. I am trying to find out where Craigie was committed in the hope that it would be Wentworth where a relative of such name was living in 1862. In the gaol book it gives an indecipherable abbreviation of the committal place. Does anyone know of any more records online that would shed any more light on this?

Hi Josephine Thanks for all of that info. We have also traced him back to Magnus Craigie. RE Cape Funison: We have it as Cape Finisterre in Spain. The guy who died at sea in 1874 is not mine as we have checked him out. I suppose the Thomas Craig who was a deserter in 1857 could be a possibility but perhaps not much use finding out about him as we have Thomas Craigie up to 1862 when he got married in Wentworth. Actually he must have been there in about February 1863 as young Thomas was born on 19 November 1863. The informant on the birth certificate was the mother. Not that that means the father was not there also at that time. What I need to check is police or gaol records for Wentworth in 1863 or later but don't know where I can access them. Probably have to go to the NSW State Archives. Cheers Ian -----Original Message----- From: Joe Conray via
