Could some kind person do a look-up for me .... based on the following information? Surname spelling variants are Scarf, Scarfe, Scarff, Scarffe,Scaff and Scharf. Three brothers, George Scarfe, Thomas Scarfe and William Scarfe were convicted at the Wexford Assizes, in County Wexford,Ireland, in 1817 and were transported to NSW on the convict ship "Mary I", in 1819. Thomas and William were recorded as receiving their Certificates of Freedom by 1824, George by 1827, at the end of their 7 year terms. During his term of servitude, George was sent to work as a farm labourer at Wilberforce and Thomas was sent to Brown's Plains as a fence construction labourer. What became of them? Did they remain in NSW or did they return to Ireland? Did any of them marry or die in NSW? Any assistance in identifying what became of them would be appreciated. Darryl Scarff Victoria

Hi Darryl, The NSW BMD indexes are online; you can purchase certificates through the Registry or through a transcription agent (cheaper) - http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?event=births http://www.transcriptions.com.au/ http://www.joymurrin.com.au/ The NSW Colonial Secretary's Papers show that William SCARFE per "Mary" 1819 appeared on a list of prisoners to be sent to Tasmania per "Woodlark" in February 1824 to serve the remainder of his sentence in Hobart, but then his name was crossed out. His is the only name in the Papers. He isn't listed on "Woodlark" in Tasmania, or under any of the various spellings. In the newspapers there is a George SCARF at Wilberforce in 25 July 1840 - and the NSW BMDs have a death for George SCARF in 1865, son of William and Mary, registered Windsor (6382/1865). (There is also a marriage between William SCARF and Eliza JOHNSTON at Windsor in 1863 (maybe his son?) http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article31725332 http://www.hawkesbury.net.au/cemetery/st_matthews/index.html There is also a burial at Windsor for William SCARF in 1877, died 30 October 1877 - the NSW Indexes show he was 78 years old, also the son of William and Mary, so it looks like he is the brother of George who died 1865.

Indexes to NSW BDMs have been on line since 1998 so why you claim no access to NSW BDMs is a bit of a mystery. I had a look in http://www.claimaconvict.net/index.html . None of these 3 fellows currently claimed . Have you tried posting this query on the AUS - PORT-JACKSON convict mailing list ? Bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast
