Hi This is my first posting with the group so I hope I get it right. My wife's maiden name is Greentree. She's a descendant of a convict named Henry Greentree. I know that he arrived in Sydney on the "Marquis of Wellington" in January 1815 and that his wife and children followed him some time later that same year. They had apparently settled in the Wilberforce district when he died in 1818. I wondered if anyone could let me know what his movements were in those three years. Regards Brian Smith
Hi Brian, Have you tried the Colonial Secretaries Correspondence on-line on the NSW State Records website? There was a Henry Greentree listed per Marquis of Wellington 1815 in the Wilberforce District of Windsor in the 1841 census - which is a little confusing if you have record that he died in 1818. It would appear that Henry Greentree arrived with a relative on the same ship. Henry Greentree and William Greentree were both tried at Southampton Assizes on 7-3-1814 - they departed Aug.1814 according to British Transportation Registers on the Qld State Library's British Transportation register.
