Hi Sherrie John Patrick Wood's father was Thomas Wood and Mary McInerney m 1837 St. Mary's Catholic Church Sydney, the first 3 kids were not baptised -no priest, then the next three all on the same day. Thomas Wood died Grenfell 1873 buried at Young. She is buried there with him. What is your connection to them?? Happy to swap details. Now going to look at the ship "Dick" matches details on his death cert. Cheers Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, Sorry, seeing your email on the PJ list, reminded me that I haven't replied to your email.... The Woods branch has been a mystery for years. Every descendant I have contacted, is stuck at who John Woods' (married to Mary Withers 1866) parents were. John Woods' parents are not listed on his 1866 Marriage certificate. The only source I've found so far, that gives the first hint of who John's parents might have been is his death certificate and then only his mother... 'Mary McInerney'. One has to be a bit skeptical of this information given in 1911. I contacted the Crookwell Historical Society years ago and was most excited when they told me they had a book that mentioned John's parents... 'Residents and Settlers Register Crookwell District pre 1888, printed 1988' Woods, John b.1842 Liverpool, NSW - wife: Hannah Withers - Parents: Thomas Houston Wood/Jane Purcell Unfortunately its wrong. :p I contacted a descendant from the Wood/Purcell family. Same time line, different place. They settled up in northern NSW. The marriage certificate of Thomas Wood & Mary McInerney is just as useless. No ages or where they were born etc... John Woods was supposedly born at Liverpool (Liverpool Plains?) abt 1842. I could not find a birth registered for a John Wood/s from 1835-1850 to a Thomas & Mary. I also looked at the possibility that John was born out of wedlock, but again could not find a birth. Kind regards, Sherrie. P.S.

Hi Stan He was 85 yrs old wghen he died in 1873 so these two are a bit early for him Cheers Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, Have you canvassed the idea that Thomas may not be a convict at all? There are two listed as Thomas Wood born in the colony - one in 1811 and the other in 1825. The first one to Charles and Ann in 1811 and the second to Thomas and Eliza in 1825. Perhaps his father might have been a convict?

Rhonda That Thomas Wood married another women in 1829 and applied for permission to marry her because he was not free. He didn't receive a Conditional Pardon until early 1838 - therefore, I think you still have the wrong person. Did you receive my reply to your question on Genanz?

Hello Alan Thanks for the information about Directories. I rarely go to Sydney and am only interested in two names for one locality in the 1840-70 period. I am not confident about finding anything of interest to me on the commercial website, so am reluctant to join. Perhaps I could request a lookup on the Hunter Valley List. Here is my note on convict Dangerfield. James Dangerfield, age 18, was tried for burglary at Warwick in 1823. He was sentenced to transportation for life. He was taken to the hulk York at Portsmouth on 31.5.1823. On 16.10.1824 he was transported to New South Wales on the Asia. He was assigned to J Boughton in the Newcastle area. At the 1828 Census he was at Tillimby, Patterson Plains. He made an application to marry in 1836 and he married Elizabeth Curley in 1837. He received a ticket of leave in 1837. George Wyndham's Diary on 24.4.1837 records "Dangarfield (sic) burning down dead timber in oxen's field". The Kimmorleys must have moved into the Dangerfield house and taken over the farm when the Dangerfields left Dalwood. James Kimmerley (later Kimmorley) was also a convict. He arrived in 1829 and he was given a Certificate of Freedom in 1842. I don't have much information about his life from then until his death in 1885, so I am keen to find any additional information. I didn't have the impression that the Port Jackson List was only interested in convicts while they remained convicts, but anyway I will take your advice and put further posts on the Hunter Valley List.

Should Dangerfield Farm be Dangarfield Farm? I am not sure as to the occupations used in documents in Australia in the 1800's, however servant and agricultural labourer were in common use in England. In my records the usage for occupational names were more precise in NSW, such as farm worker, farm hand, farmer, builder, fencer, shepherd, some were recorded as just labourers. In the 1872 Grevilles Post Office directory I found some occupations recorded as servants, and labourers, (but no agricultural labourers). There are many directories for NSW and the country towns that were printed between 1820 to 1933. The 1872 is the only one that is available free online. For the others you would have to go to a large library that has a family history section and view the information on microfiche. There is an Australian website that charges a yearly fee to view the 1871 and 1879 electoral rolls and the 1876 Grevilles PO Directory, if you are unable to get to a large library (such as Blacktown, Hornsby, or the State Library).

Hello Alan Thanks for the website. I didn't know about it. It seems to be a mine of information. It seems that the source of the Kimmorley at Dalwood in 1871 information I had must have come from the Electoral Roll for West Maitland, rather than from some census as I had originally thought. I suppose the Electoral Roll was not as up to date as the Post Office Directory of 1871/72. If so, this would fit in with other information I have about the Kimmorley family.
