Hello Lesley and List Lesley thank you so much for being willing to post once more the information on Lumber Yards. I am no nearer the truth however I may just have to skip Daniel Canvin's life during his seven year sentence. Long Bow, I don't suppose anyone can help me find when Daniel Canvin began work with the Badgery Family, South Creek. Or maybe as Lesley mentioned he stayed in goverment work until he had served his sentence. If so, does anyone know how I can track these seven years? Daniel arrived per Elizabeth (3) Dec 1820 for seven year sentence Daniel appears on list victualled H M Magazine 8 Sept 1821 he is at New Lumber Yard Daniel appears on General Muster List 1823 he is at Emu Plains Daniel appears on Permission to Mary, 5 Aug 1826, we have never located his marriage Daniel appears on 1828 census and he is now with the Badgery Family free by servitude Any long bow appreciated Jenny

Hi Jenny Re any long bow appreciated. You could try variations of the spelling of Daniel's surname on the NSW BDM website. I came up with one : Daniel Canavan married Jessy Grant 1846 @ Roman Catholic Church Maitland Ref. V1846482 94/1846 Lyn

Hi Jenny Have you checked the Col. Sec. microfiche Reel 6016; 4/5781 page.95 That particular (whole) reel will probably give you some pointers 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: Saturday, February 28, 2009 11:00 AM To: aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: [PJ] Lumber Yard thank you Hello Lesley and List Lesley thank you so much for being willing to post once more the information on Lumber Yards.

Hello, Just given nothing more than the five time snippets on Daniel as listed, why not think he really did work at the well known Lumber Yard at Sydney Cove, then shift to Emu Plains some time 1821/1823? If he had 7 year sentence in 1820, then free in 1827 and looks for paid work and ends up with the "Badgeries" at South Creek. I imagine they are the settlers who Badgerys Creek is named after. For years they wanted to move Sydney airport to there, but then that idea just seemed to go away or get forgotten and Sydney airport is still where it used to be. I know I have a knack of changing subject but all things seem to be connected. I think you have done a good job and have a fair life history on him in those years already. He's not moving around much, from Sydney to South Creek, during that time ... very small distance compared to the initial leap or dislocation from Britain to Sydney.
