If you have a convict in Tasmania in 1847, he may have been one of those who were listed as having special skills in the woollen/cotton manufacture, or being able to make and repair the necessary machinery for the same. The government were considering using convicts for this industry, and two Returns list those who might be able to be used, especially because of their skills http://www.standard.net.au/~jwilliams/tascon14.htm all the best Jenny Fawcett

The following report on Tasmania's police force in 1835 gives an account of the police system, including convict employees http://www.standard.net.au/~jwilliams/police2.htm all the best Jenny Fawcett

I am new to the list and am trying to help a friend who does not have a computer. This is what I have been told: Thomas GODBY born circa 1816 Norfolk, Eng arr in Tasmania on 30th July 1844 aboard the vessel "Maria Soames" with a 10 year sentence. Married on 13th September 1852 Christine ORR.at Macquarie Plains New Norfolk. Can SKS please tell me of Thomas and Christine's date and place of death or any descendants. All information will be gratefully accepted. Marie in Sydney Australia

Hello everyone We have joined the list in the hope that we may be able to locate William Dixon my husbands 3 x gfather from Sibsey Lincs. We recently became interested in the convicts of Australia and Tasmania, through my husbands line. His ggfather was born in 1825 in Sibsey , Lincolnshire, the son of William Dixon and Mary Hubbart. Married in Blidworth, Notts he became a Greengrocer in Kirkby in Ashfield Notts, an area within the coal mining industry. When we started to follow the line in Sibsey, there was no trace of William with his family at the time of the 1841 census, whilst looking through the Lincs Archives a reference led me to believe that William and Joseph Dixon, brothers, Labourers from the parish of Sibsey were sentenced to Death and then commuted to Transportation for Life to Tasmania, their crime was to steal and slaughter a sheep belonging to R Gosling of Skirbeck in 1829. They were transported in 1831 to Tasmania aboard the Red Rover, information obtained from a convict book at Lincoln Library supplied information that Joseph died in Tasmania in 1840, however, this has not yet been verified. With some friendly help from the Tasmanian mailing list, we understand that William Dixon was sent to Melbourne in 1852 and requested that his family be allowed to join him, this request was granted because he helped to catch some bushrangers! His family did not join William and we would like some advice on how to investigate what happened to him in Melbourne. Whether he stayed there or moved elsewhere, his birth date at the time of his trial would have been 1798, although we have not found a baptism in the area around Sibsey yet for William or Joseph. Jean and Alan Dixon

I am looking for information on John Glenn who was transported to Tasmania on the ship 'Cressy' in 1843. Most convict records I have been able to look up are earlier than those dates, so I have no information on his crime or where he originally lived or his parents. Any help would be appreciated Sandra

Sorry Sue I forgot to add my snail mail address to you. Les Pitt 29 Wallace Drive Porepunkah Victoria 3740 -----Original Message----- From: Sue Wyatt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 28 October 2002 6:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [TAS-CONVICTS] Ann Quinn / Murphy Hi Les, There was an Ann Murphy came on the Mary Ann arriving 19/3/1841 Roger aged 21 married Ann aged 21 on 29/7/1844 in Hobart reg no 1194 They had a daughter born in Avoca on 29/3/1845 reg 1233 named Jane Pitt. I do this sort of lookup for people. I photocopy the convict conduct record, then look up information on the indent, description list, musters, appropriations list and any other relevant info. I can then look up the Tasmanian Pioneer Index for information on birth, death, marriages. I can also make copies of these. There is also a series of cards with other information on them at the Tasmanian archives. Wills can also be looked up. The cost for overseas is when you have received the information from me, you then send some new/used stamps from anywhere round the world to my niece and nephew here in Tasmania. This saves me having to change cheques or IRCs. It usually costs $1.10 per photocopy and most people send about $5 Australian to do a complete lookup through me, but if you go to the archives of Tasmania they will charge about $20 for an hours work. I go to the archives of a Thursday evening and the last Saturday of the month, so you should get your info within a month. If you want me to add you to my lookup list, please return email me with your snail mail address and what you want me to lookup for you and what to photocopy.
