Hello,   Have you identified Mary Anne Green. Probably NOT the right one, but I know of one Mary Green who was very early here. She had come as daughter of one of the First Free Settlers (settled at Liberty Plains) and she married there a young convict carpenter by the name of Green. She came late 1700s but I have no dates offhand.   I know this particular Mary had a number of marriages .. one husband drowned, one hung himself. Also, if that's not "your" Mary, I'd be interested if anyone here knows any more about that Mary Green who came with the first free settlers.   She was granted land in her own right as a settler as she perhaps 'came of age' or something - and that land was immediately west of the present day Concord West railway station (don't know if she really ever lived there or not).

Maybe worth checking under the spelling Fenning/Fennings. Jennifer

Convict couple Jane [arrived 1820 with three children] and Barney CARR [arrived 1819]had five children. Jane gave birth to two girls Jane and Catherine in the colony of NSW who's christening are not found under CARR or KERR. 1850 Jane's will lists her daughters and husbands, Jane to James BRIER and Catherine to James YATES. Neither girls marriage, appears under Carr or Kerr. However there are two marriages under the men's names and the girls given names: James BRIARS to Jane TUCKER in 1840 and James YATES to Catherine FANNON in 1844. In NSW BDM their are christening records for Jane Tucker daughter of Thomas and Jane in 1821 and Catherine Fanning daughter of Edward and Jane in 1825. There are no marriages for Thomas Tucker to Jane or Edward Fanning/Fannan/Fannon to Jane in the years 1788-1828. There is only one child born to Thomas and Jane Tucker 1788-1840 and the same for Edward and Jane Fanning. Thomas Tucker and Edward Fanning were not listed as convicts on State Archives. Although there is a Thomas Tucker in Tassie in 1820. I found Edward Fanning AKA Fannin in the 1828 census a convict arriving on the Minvera 1819. The same ship that Jane Carr's eldest daughter Maria married a man from in 1827. Thomas Tucker was not listed in 1828. Jane CARR in 1822 muster is listed at Parramatta factory with two children 4 and 1 both born in the colony. The older child however was born overseas. Barney, her Husband was only assigned to Jane in 1824 at her request, prior to this he was assigned to Emu plains on arrival. The family is listed in the 1825 muster together Jane, husband and two sons and on another page Maria [the older daughter] with Jane Jnr. The next daughter Catherine was born about 1826 and both girls are listed with their Mother in 1828 census under KERR the husband is missing from the census. A trial report in May 1831 has Jane stating she has not lived with her husband for some years. 1827 a newspaper article regarding a trial for robbery acquits Jane but finds she was illegally at large and ordered to be returned to the factory [possibly from a charge of theft brought against her in 1826]. My earlier thoughts were that Jane became pregnant during her time in Parramatta factory but with the second child it could have been during time out. Am I correct in thinking the above christening records and marriages are for Jane CARR's daughters? I would also like to hear from anyone who can add further details of whom Thomas Tucker and Edward Fanning/Fannin were? Thank you Karen

Good afternoon Ron, and to Warren too, When you say the Marjorams "roamed around Suffolk" like gypsies, I find that an interesting remark, and I have heard it before on numerous occasions, but the family of the convicts, father Robert and son William, who ended up coming here, had been living in Ufford/ Bredfield for several generations, from looking at old birth and death records. Going back in time though, most ag.labs. would have "roamed around" looking for work wherever they could get it, a bit like Gypsies, unless they were "indentured" to the landowner. There is a tale that says people with the names of "herbs" are Gypsies. A few weeks ago, I went through some very old notes trying to tie other Marjoram families into my line, over a number of generations, all near Bredfield. I think I learned on one of my trips to Bredfield that the village "Pettistree" is named after "St. Peter's tree" - maybe some beautiful oak or such like in the grounds of a St. Peter's Church. Here are snippets of info I have accumulated. The earliest record I have is of Robert Marjoram who died in 1719 in Pettistree and his wife Ann who died in Pettistree in April 1711. These are their children all bapt. Pettistree - Robert b. 1673 m. Elizabeth Cobham b. 9.10.1698, no dates of death; William b. 1675; Ann b. 1678; Edmund b. 1681 m. Sarah West 1708, no dates of marriage or death; Thomas b. 1682 d. 1683; Mary b. 1684 (n.f.i,) Edmund Marjuram (note spelling) son of another Robert Marjoram b. 1681, and Ann (n.f.i.) married 16 Nov. 1708 Pettistree, and died May 1731. Edmund's wife was Sarah West, b. c.1685 Wickham, died August 1732 Pettistree. The children were Edmund b.1709 died 1709; Ann b. 1712 Pettistree d. Pettistree 1730; Edmund b. 1715; Sarah b. 1718; William 1718; John b. 1720 Pettistree, died 1753 Pettistree. *Jeremiah Marjoram* b. 9 March 1775 who came from Pettistree, a son of John Margerum and Susan Cullum, married Elizabeth Row on 9 March 1775 - my friend Ann, who lives in Bredfield in Suffolk, almost next door to where the Marjorams lived, sent the following, and she just looked it up in the Church Records for me. Ann is one of the "bell ringers" at Bredfield Church. When we were celebrating our 200 years here, Ann and another lady Joan (ex school teacher, from the area, and who now, almost in her 90s, has just bought a "motor bike for geriatrics") decided to research the convict records to see if any came from Suffolk, and guess who they found. Since then, the knowledge on the Marjorams has been slightly enlarged! And so has my list of friends. When I travelled to the UK way back in 1961 Suffolk was one of my favourite counties in England, long before I became involved with family history, and that was long before the inter-net. Recently I stayed with Ann, who took me all around the Marjoram haunts. The following are the children from the above marriage of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Row in Boulge in Suffolk, and all were baptised in Bredfield in Suffolk:- Jerry b. 1775, John b. 1778 who married Sarah Oxborrow on 18/4/1800; Susan 1779; George 1781 who married an Elizabeth - no surname; Sarah 1782; Margaret b 1784 who might have married a "Brown"; Robert b. 1785, who married Frances Crow in 1814 in Ufford (*my/our line*); Christian b.9/3/1787; James b. 28/1/1791; Jeremiah b. 4/6/1794. Here's a local one - Robert Marjoram married ca 1887 Lithgow, East Macquarie to Elizabeth Ainsworth. I know William Marjoram's brother Robert came out here with his wife Lydia nee Moss, and they had four children, the third of whom was Robert and I have that Lydia died and her husband Robert re-married . I suspect that Robert Marjoram Snr. (convict) in the long years of his sentence, around the Bathurst/Lithgow area, somehow managed to puddle for gold, as on his release from a 14 year sentence he went back to Suffolk, was there for the marriage of a couple of his children, and paid the fares for Robert jnr. and and his bride Lydia(nee Moss) to come to Australia, and then for Robert snr. and his wife Frances to came back here /_1st Class_ /on the ship they travelled on . Robert Snr.'s son, the convict William Marjoram, had a daughter Frances, and she was my father's paternal grandmother, married to John Hogan, the son of my*Irish convict Denis Hogan* and his wife Margaret Carey also from Ireland - an immigrant connection - and Frances was loved very much by my Dad, Wilfred John Hogan, aka "Jack", and his two sisters, Evelyn Mary Hogan, and Frances Alma Hogan. Frances Marjoram/Hogan was the local midwife where they lived for a long time, somewhere near Forest Reefs south of Bathurst etc.. When John Hogan died, Frances came and lived with her son James and his wife, my grandmother, Adeline nee Newstead. Frances Marjoram, aged 64, died in 1911 in Sydney - my father and his two sisters remembered her with great love. I wish my convict Denis Hogan from Tipperary was as well documented as the Marjorams - I have no idea of his parents' names, nor do I know where in Tipperary they came. I have been on the Tipperary List on the internet for many years, and the "owner" of that list was also connected to Denis Hogan, and she lives there, and she can't even find any records of what Denis got up to - the best we can work out, is wherever he was in Tipperary, he was in the "wrong place at the wrong time", and the records could have been destroyed in the uprisings in the early 20th centuary. Denis's two elder sons James and John married and both had large families - John married Frances Marjoram, William the convict's daughter - Frances was my father's grandmother. James married Mary Jackson, and they seem to have been around Rylstone for most of the time, but I haven't traced that line, fully. If any one has information on James and Mary Hogan, I would be pleased to hear from them as I think one of their sons, Patrick, married a Mary Ann Austin in 1883. I have Austen/Austin relatives. Enough for one day, Liz. .

Dianna, There is a considerable amount of info. on Ann Nowlan in Suzanne Voytas's excellent book," ELizabeth 1828", if you can't get a copy I can send the extract to you. The book covers both the voyage (a very dramatic one) & the individual convicts. Regards, Lynne

Hi I've just discovered that the above is an ancestor and I would like to find out a bit more about her please. I have not consulted the 1828 Census as yet and I was wondering if Ann was sent to the Female Factory in Parramatta. I have checked the convicts permission to marry index and found the following-: John Holmes - Age - 25. Came Free Ann Nowlan Elizabeth Age - 20; Sentence - 7 yrs; Condition - Bond. 11 Apr 1831 Revd. J. Vincent Sydney Richard Kiernan Pilot Age - 43; Sentence - Life; Condition - Ticket of Leave. Ann Nowlan Elizabeth Age - 20; Sentence - 7 yrs; Condition - Bond. 16 Aug 1831 Revd S. Marsden Parramatta. On the BDM NSW there is one record of KERNAN Richard marrying Ann NOWLAN in 1831 CB. Ann died as Ann KEARNS (name seems to have changed) in December 1864 and is buried with Richard KEARNS in St. Patricks Cemetery (Catholic) Parramatta. Trying to find any other information on her and hopefully find out when/how the name changed from KIERNAN/KERNAN/KEARNS. Kind regards Dianna

Hello I have not received emails from you over the last few weeks ... I was checking that my emails are okay Michelle

Good afternoon All, I descend from the convict Denis Hogan, through his son John, and have acquired information on that line, and now I am trying to trace the family of John's brother James Hogan who married in Newcastle to Mary Jackson in 1867. If I am on the right track, all James and Mary Hogan's children were born around Rylstone on the Central Tablelands between 1866 and 1875. Is there anyone one out there who has links to this family. Elizabeth Walker nee Hogan.

Elizabeth, I did not know that Denis had a brother in Oz. was he a convict? There might be a newspaper report of a trial and I could check that out here. It might yield more information than the report of Denis' Regards Gerry in Autumnal Dublin Sent from phone On 10 Sep 2013, at 08:29, Elizabeth Walker <lizrose@tpg.com.au> wrote: > Good afternoon All, > > I descend from the convict Denis Hogan, through his son John, and have > acquired information on that line, and now I am trying to trace the > family of John's brother James Hogan who married in Newcastle to Mary > Jackson in 1867. > > If I am on the right track, all James and Mary Hogan's children were > born around Rylstone on the Central Tablelands between 1866 and 1875. > Is there anyone one out there who has links to this family. > > Elizabeth Walker nee Hogan. > > > > > ---------------------- > To send a message to the Port Jackson Convicts List, send an email to > AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS@rootsweb.com > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Good day all, I’m not really looking for any definitive answers here...but if anyone can find out what happened to her..!! Some suggest she returned to the UK. The last reference to her in NSW seems to be the 1828 census. She came out with her husband and maybe a child called Henry, although it seems there is no record of the latter on the voyage, so this may be suspect. I know of a record of a death of an infant Henry in 1803 in NSW. But Mary seems to have been well gifted by the Governor at the time. Her convict husband Henry died in 1806. We know she had a liaison with a Henry Major (Why didn’t he make it easier and have a different first name?), with the result of a few more children. She was granted around Jun 1823 a lease of some quarter of an acre in or around Castlereagh St Sydney. (Ref: leases NSW State archives Ref R2704 Microfilm). Would this be normal? By that time (1823), her main progeny William Sampson Pickett (b 1804), was reasonably settled around Brisbane Waters. My main question is, bypassing the obvious answers, is why would she be looked on so favourably by the governor at the time (Brisbane, I believe). And as an aside is it possible to find whether any infants were aboard the Glatton? My research says no. Regards and thanks Bryan Chch, NZ

For anyone interested in this convict. THE STORY OF DAVID HAWKINS Wednesday 11 September 10-11.45am Presented by Ken Brice David Hawkins was a convict who arrived in Sydney in 1801 on the ‘Earl Cornwallis’.
