Hello I have just joined this list, hoping to find someone doing research on John MacFarlane and Margaret Redmond , married in 1831 and living in the Cook's River = Gannon's Forest area. I would like to know if these two were, in fact convicts. The only appropriate persons in the 1828 Census are John ( George) Macfarlane who came on the Marquis of Huntley in 1826 and Margaret McRedman who came on Elizabeth 1828 and was in the factory at Parramatta in the 1828 Census. Can anyone please tell me if I have the right couple who were the parents of Bridget MacFarlane. She cohabited with Robert Cadby MacFarlane and had two children with him. Was there already a family connection between Bridget and Robert???These are some of the questions I am hoping some kind lister will have answers for. Thank You Verna Bode Sydney Researching Robert MacFarlane (Cadby) for one of his descendants.

Hi Verna, Yes, they were both convicts. Margaret Redmond arrived on the Elizabeth II in 1828 - a lifer and John McFarlane arrived on the Minerva I (4) in 1824. When Margaret applied for permission to marry in 1831, John had served his 7 year sentence and was therefore free. John McFarlane per the Minerva is listed as John McFarlaine in the 1828 NSW Census and working as a Tailor for John Wood in Hunter Street Sydney, Regards Lesley Uebel http://www.claimaconvict.net/index.html CLAIM A CONVICT email: ckennedy@bigpond.net.au On 1/07/2013 9:10 PM, Verna Bode wrote: > Hello I have just joined this list, hoping to find someone doing research on > John MacFarlane and Margaret Redmond , married in 1831 and living in the > Cook's River = Gannon's Forest area.

Good afternoon Verna, I can't help you, but you might be able to help me. Did Margaret Redmond have a connection to Edward Redmond, who seems to have come here from Ireland as a convict in 1799? If he only had a 7 year sentence, Edward would have been free by 1806. My Irish convict ancestor, Denis Hogan who came from Ireland in 1834 as a convict with a 7 year sentence, was assigned to Edward Redmond. Apart from Denis being a convict from Tipperary, I know nothing about his life and family in Ireland. My father never discussed his ancestry, which included Denis and the two Marjoram convicts from Suffolk. It is quite possible his parents did not use the word "convict" when discussing people. I have been lucky with the Marjorams and know heaps about them, but Denis leaves me with a "blank" page, apart from the fact that he was a shoemaker in Sydney. He died in August, 1850 in Sydney, aged about 33, and had two sons to carry on the line, both who had large families. Liz Walker.

Hi Laraine Perhaps there is a connection between our Redmonds in Ireland as I believe that Margaret came from Tipperary, but I'm afraid I don't know of it. I have been totally in the dark about Margaret Redmond and John MacFarlane and am hoping this list may help me. Sorry Verna

Elizabeth can you contact me off list please.I have date on Edward Redmond.
