Hi Grahame, Many thanks – I’ll follow your suggestions. Cheers, Coral Saunders

Hi Coral It seems to me that you have not checked the original burial record for Harriet as looking at the record will probably solve where she was buried. As mentioned by others, she died well before civil registration started in 1856. Therefore the record available will be a church burial register. That means you should be able to identify which Church minister, and therefore which church parish, performed the burial. And its likely she would have been buried in the cemetery associated with that church and parish. The NSW BDM Index entry reads. V18225426 2B/1822 HANSON HARRIOT AGE 32 V1822103 155/1822 HANSON HARRIOT AGE 32 You can use the reference to check out the burial register copied onto microfilm which is part of the NSW Archives Kit. Or you can buy the "certificate" from NSW BDM Registry. You should look at both references. There being two references does not mean she was buried twice. Perhaps you might find it useful to read about the early church registers by going to http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/historyofRegistrysRec.htm cheers Grahame On 14/07/2013, at 2:19 PM, Coral Saunders wrote: > Hi John, Thanks for your interest & your reply.

Hi John. Thanks, That is certainly a line worth following. Cheers, Coral

Hi again Coral Regarding William Hanson who arrived on the Admiral Gambier in 1808. The transport Aeolus (not Eolus) arrived a bit over one month later. The Aeolus carried only female convicts and the Admiral Gambier only male convicts - some of the indents combine transports that arrived within a short space of time. As regards the Anson and Hanson - this again happened often in the early records as people tended to drop the H in their speech.... some people still do :) In 1818 he was granted land at Castlereagh (State Records of NSW). In 1818 he was also granted a Conditional Pardon not an Absolute Pardon. He was still alive in 1828 - as according to the 1828 NSW Census he is listed as William Anson per Admiral Gambier arriving in 1807 - this year in an error and there are many such errors in this census and more often than not, not an error made by the transcriber.... people forgot the year of arrival or they lied. At this stage he was working for Edward Grey as a Groom and was in receipt of a Conditional Pardon. Age noted as 42 Regards Lesley Uebel http://www.claimaconvict.net/index.html CLAIM A CONVICT email: ckennedy@bigpond.net.au On 14/07/2013 3:18 PM, Coral Saunders wrote: > Hi all, > > I’m hoping someone out there can clear up some questions about my ancestor William (or Samuel or John) Bowden Anson (or Hanson).

Hi again, Lesley, I realise I misread your last reply as you referred to the 1822 census. That one is the right William Hanson as it also lists the child ( known as Frederick) aged 3. It does not list Harriet as she must have died before the Census was taken. Many thanks for your interest. Cheers, Coral Saunders

Hi Geoff, Thanks for your interest & suggestions. I’ll do what I can to check it out. Cheers, Coral Saunders

  Hello, She'd have been buried (unless Catholic - who buried their own at McCarthy's farm [named "Cranebrook"]) by the Reverend Henry Fulton. Most protestants there were so buried, pre 1838 anyway. Fulton himself was an "Irish Rebel" too. But he was such a refined man, with hands showing little sign of manual work, that the Sydney authorities considered it would have been highly unseemly to put such a gentlemen on the road gangs, or anywhere else like that. Instead, and as there was need of more Anglican chaplains, he was made the parson of Castlereagh and installed into a very fine and expensive government-funded parsonage there. I am still looking for any remains of his parsonage, and have already spent much time at that. Fulton himself is buried in the Castlereagh cemetery too, right in the rear back corner. Most of the Castlereagh church register does survive I understand (maybe a few pages are missing?) although I have never seen it myself. The original church itself burned down.

Hi all, I’m hoping someone out there can clear up some questions about my ancestor William (or Samuel or John) Bowden Anson (or Hanson). The name variations make him hard to track down for sure. There are 2 possible birth times - around 1767, or around 1786. I have no record of his parentage. He was born in Staffordshire, England. He was convicted of highway robbery (as Samuel Bowden Hanson) along with 4 others on 24th March 1808 in Surrey, England, and sentenced to death. The story is that this was changed to transportation for life on the eve of the executions. His 4 companions were hanged. I have copies of newspaper reports supporting most of this information. He was described as 5ft 8 inches, of fair complexion, with light brown hair & hazel eyes. He was transported on the ships Admiral Gambier and Eolus & arrived in Sydney 22nd December, 1808. He was released from Sydney Gaol 5th Jan 1810, (as John Anson) on the occasion of Lachlan Macquarie taking charge of the Government. 27th August 1810, (as John Anson) he was sent to Newcastle as a limeburner on the Lady Nelson. 27th Sept 1813, (as Samuel Anson) he returned to Sydney & was recommended for a ticket of leave. 6th November 1813 – He was granted a ticket of leave. “To be struck off the victualling list”. 1814: He married Harriet White in St John’s Church of England, Parramatta. 1st June 1817: He petitioned for mitigation of sentence. 31st January 1818 – He was granted an absolute pardon. 1819: His son Augustus Frederick Bowden Farmer Anson was born. On an unknown date, he was paid 2 pounds from the Police Fund for “services performed in a new discovered country” 5th March 1821, referred to as William Anson of Castlereagh, he was given a grant of 30 acres of land for which he paid fees of a total of 3 pounds & 1 penny. 31st August 1824, His memorial to the Governor requested a grant of land. The previous farm he had rented had failed due to high rent & bad crops. He was then referred to as William Hanson of Evan. He was granted some land but I don’t have details of where. I think he died in Parramatta in 1825 leaving a 6 year old son who was said to be raised by another ex convict, William Clark, on whose farm the Ansons had worked. However, the 1828 Census lists a William Hanson aged 42. This man is working as a groom on a farm in Cabramatta. The Census claims he arrived on the Admiral Gambier in 1807. I hope there is someone out there who can help me to clarify all this. Cheers, Coral Saunders

  Hello, I'd suggest also checking on who worked on road-building over the Blue Mountains. Re "On an unknown date, he was paid 2 pounds from the Police Fund for 'services performed in a new discovered country' .... 5th March 1821, referred to as William Anson of Castlereagh" ... the new discovered country generally meant to the west, I think. The first ford over the Nepean River was said to be at "Emu Island" (now vanished due to sand and gravel extraction?) about a mile north of the present railway bridge; and the road approaching it would originally have come from the north, Windsor-way. And in the earliest exploration and road building westwards the people at Castlereagh played some part, e.g. the "kangaroo hunter" James Burns who was taken on as guide by Blaxland/Wentworth/Lawson I suspect may have lived at Castlereagh/Agnes Bank somewhere.   And when the road to the new country was well underway the work crew was supplied with cabbages etc. from Castlereagh.  Also they sent there tools back to the Castlereagh smithy for constant re-sharpening. I think things to do with exploration/development like that were once paid for from the police fund, but you could also try checking if he was a constable or anything else like that.   Such people did not reside in the new country but could be sent there if a need arose.

  Hello Carol, Re "Harriet lived on a few different farms west of Sydney" - do you have the names of the farms. That would help, I think. Just coincidentally I too have a "Harriet" buried at Castlereagh who I have tried to research (she had married into my family there) --- but she still remains a very difficult person to trace reliably back to the motherland. I do know tough where she is buried.    Someone (unknown), very unfortunately has interfered with the grave and going there to patch things up is still on my "to do" list.   It looks easily repairable. My Harriet was in colloqual terms, I reckon, the "Saint Harriet" of Castlereagh - who spurred on the local Wesleyan "revival" there. Before she saw the light of salvation she, apparently, was a London street-walker (though unfortunate circumstances - supposedly jilted by some man), lifted a client's wallet I suspect, and got sent to the then considered God-forsaken other side of the world. I know a little about the history of Castlereagh. My Harriet wrote back home to England a lot but eventually all the letters were returned it seems - as the family there refused to accept them.   So the story goes (I myself have seen no letters).

Another possibility is the Castlereagh River region in western NSW: some refs have shortened this locality to simply `Castlereagh' during the earlier exploration period, specifically on BDM refs derived from church baptism/burial records.

Hello, Where does the detail come from re *Irish Rebel: * please? The early Burns or Byrne's first to Australia were often Irish "rebels" (a very British term), or patriots in the Irish failed War of Independence (of 1798) as they'd be called if this were America. However to the best of my knowledge and just offhand I don't know accounts of many of the Irish women taking up arms ... although I think they did sew the green flags (?). That act alone could have been regarded as treasonable. But all this was way after 1798 anyway so a bit curious why 'Irish Rebel' would get into the record ... and at any rate it is curious two that there'd be two There were two Catherine Byrne's arrive on the same ship. However it's also quite easy to make errors in who was who this far back in time, I think. I've been working through some other early Burn/Byrne/s but generally once considerably earlier than these ?two Catherines. I'm especially interested in the one who is said to have been the guide for the explorers over the Blue Mountains.

A transcript of the trial (29 May, 1811) is available online at – www.oldbaileyonline.org She arrived in Van Diemen’s Land 19th October 1812 on Indefatigable From there, she arrived in NSW 25th October 1812 on the Minstrel She married another convict, William ( or John, or Samuel) Anson (or Hanson) in 1814 at St John’s Church of England, Parramatta. She had one child, a son, Augustus Frederick Bowden( or Boden) Farmer Anson, born 1819, Sydney She died in 1822, in the Castlereagh district ( some say Castlereagh St Sydney – but she lived on a farm near Parramatta in the district of Castlereagh, so I think that is more likely.)
