Hi All, Is it possible to obtain the deatils for a permission to marry application for one Joseph FURNACE. The Col. Sec. Papers has the following : FURNESS, Joseph : Per ' Somersetshire " 1814 : 1817 Oct 6, 11 : Re permission to marry at Sydney; appears as FURNACE. The lady in question is one Mary Anne Richards. Also is it possible to obtain his details from his indent please. Thanks Arnie

Hi Arnie I transcribed the early Convicts Permissions to Marry (1810 - 1825) as well as those from 1826 to 1851. The is very little information provided in the 1810 to 1825 records apart from the names and transports (or other status in some cases) You will find that about 25% of those recorded on the State Records Col Sec Index are incorrect. I have included the correct information on my CD. The Indent for the Somersetshire states: Joseph Furness was tried at the York Assizes on 31st July 1813 and received a life sentence. He gave his native place as Yorkshire. He was a Brickmaker by trade and was about 20 years of age when he arrived. He was about 5 feet 6 & and half inches tall, very fair complexion, white hair and blue eyes. He was recommended for a Conditional Pardon in 1846 and the Indent does note a CP numbered 47/271. He is also listed as Hugh / Joseph on the recommendations for a CP. Certainly a very long time between arrival in 1814 and his CP in 1847 which leads me to think that he had a few problems. The 1828 NSW Census records him as being in gaol. You may find something in the newspapers of that time although I would think that you have checked those already?

Yes I have Lesley but thank you so much for the information that you have provided. The description is wonderful. There has been a little confusion as to the first permission to marry. Some have suggested that the marriage to Mary Anne Richards may not have been correct but as I have the NSW Index references to go by I thought otherwise, but it would seem logical for me now to obtain a copy to make sure that I have not mixed this bloke with someone else. Thanks again and the Sir Charles Fitzroy article is fantastic.
