Hello List This is my brick wall; I am trying to find the Goverment Lumber Yard that my convict Daniel Canvin 1820> was employed. I had it all nicely pigeon holed and I was quoting in my research the Lumber Yard that was in Sydney Town corner of George and Bridge Street. I then obtained the General Muster List of NSW 1823, 1824, 1825, and here I find him under Goverment Employment at Emu Plains with a spelling of Cannivan. I now have to rethink my research. I was as wondering if anyone knew much about convicts at Emu Plains and if it had a Lumber Yard 1820- 1827. I am aware that Daniel ended up working for the Badgery Family all of his life however I am not sure when his Goverment Employemt ended and his work for the Badgery family began. I am also wondering why I can't find Daniel in 1822 Muster I'd be so grateful for any help. Jenny

Hi Jenny There was also a Lumber Yard at Parramatta. Daniel was employed at the Lumber Yard in 1821, but that does not mean that he was still employed there a few months later. The convicts employed in the Lumbar Yard were Blacksmiths, Carpenters, Sawyers, Shoemakers, Tailors etc Because he was relocated to Emu Plains between 1823 and 1825 does not mean that he was employed in a Lumber Yard at that place as he could have been employed doing anything for the government. Re the 1822 General Muster - there are probably many people missing from it - perhaps some because they were missed by the people who transcribed these record. I cannot find a Ticket of Leave for Daniel, so perhaps he remained working for the government until his sentence expired in 1827. regards Lesley Uebel mailto:ckennedy@bigpond.net.au CLAIM A CONVICT http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/index.html -----Original Message----- From: aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Jenny T Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 1:19 PM To: AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS@rootsweb.com Subject: [PJ] Lumber Yard & Convicts Hello List This is my brick wall; I am trying to find the Goverment Lumber Yard that my convict Daniel Canvin 1820> was employed.

Hi Jenny. Some past research turned up a particular individual "receiving iron etc. from Lumber Yard Parramatta". This was from Col Sec 1788-1825 and the date was 1809. Don't know if it was still operating in 1820.
