Dear Hazel, I think you need to be more specific as to which state he actually immigrated to, as each state has records of their own. If you check the NSW Probate Index you may find his mother left an estate, therefore papers for that would be at State Records KINGSWOOD, and may name any grandchildren.

Hi listers, Would like to officially thank Jenny, Michelle, Gael, Marg M, Carole and all the ones I may have forgotten...for all your help during my searches for Ralph...Robertson..Reeves..Virgin...and Abraham..without you all I would be nowhere!!! DotRob Qld..

Sorry for not locating the Browns. I thought the bushfire smoke had abated enough for me to have my wits about me properly. Apparently not. I'll do this and obviously should retreat until the Blue Mountains fire is out, hopefully in a couple of weeks. In 1813 Elizabeth nee WINCH lived in Lower Pitt Street & was out walking with her beau John BROWN. Elizabeth was the lass accosted by 2 of Macquarie's inebriated off duty soldiers. During the fracas one hit William Holness with a paling or similar, causing death. As soldiers were tried by soldiers, they received 6 months restricted to Parramatta and fined 1/- each. The result was Gov. Macquarie requested London that soldiers not be able to hold land while serving etc and also a key factor in the 73rd Regiment moving on to India. Court case is in Historical Records of Australia Vol 8 with both Elizabeth & John giving evidence. I know nothing of their children other than of Richard - my ancestor. I have located him in Woolloomlloo, in the 1870s the family lived in Wilmot Street, Sydney (between George & Pitt Streets, opposite the Hoyts Theatre complex) and later he was in The Rocks area. Richard died in 1874 in Goodlet Street. So inner Sydney of the times, certainly not among the wealthier residents! Joan

Thank you to Tracie and Janeen for their suggestions regarding my question about what a "Machinist" would have been doing in 1868. Jenny W Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com

Richard BROWN was born c.1824-1825, the 4th child of convict John BROWN (Ann 2 1810) and Elizabeth WINCH. According the the 1828 Census his older siblings were John, William, Jane & Elizabeth and he had a younger brother George. If Richard's siblings were anywhere as useful in populating the colony as he was there must be so many descendants I have would like to make contact with. Richard married 1) Margaret DUIGAN 1845 Issue: Harriett, Sarah (died as infant), Jane, George Married 2) Margaret MUNRO 1855 Issue: Emily Maud, John, Elizabeth, Hannah, Thomas, James, Richard and David (died as infant). I know of the children of Emily Maud and Elizabeth and have worked out some details of the others . Who out there has any connection with my BROWN line? Surely with such a tribe there must be at least another descendant interested in the family history? Joan

Hi Judy, If you write to the Broken Hill Historical Society, they should be able to help. sorry I don't have a postal addy or email for them, but I guess just to Broken Hill would find them.

Christene I have learnt to look at the LDS Library Catalogue and check under "Place Search" and then look at cemeteries. I have recently remembered that they film Australian stuff too. I now have one and a half pages of Victorian and S.A. cemeteries that I want to order films for. Unfortunately Field of Mars is not available to Family History Centres.. Hope this helps. Regards Joy

Also could have been a machinist in a boot/shoe factory as most of my ancestors were. Janeen

More than likely it would be someone who makes clothes sewing machine.
