Can anyone give help or advice on tracing William Dixon age 31 and Joseph Dixon age 35 when they were sentenced in 1830 to transportation for life at Lincoln Assizes for stealing and slaughtering a sheep belonging to R Gosling of Skirbeck Lincs. Both William and Joseph (who were brothers) were sent to Tasmania aboard the RED ROVER in 1831. From information obtained at Lincoln Archives, Joseph Dixon died 1 January 1840, nothing about William Dixon who was my husbands ggfather. Any help would be appreciated. Am willing to do lookups in Notts or Lincs if possible. Jean Dixon

Dear List Once again Garry Wilson has handed out a very heavy handed "history" lesson to a subscriber who appears to want nothing more than to share some information he has. I believe that is what this list should be about - helping and sharing - not criticising a person who is simply wanting to help others and in doing so made an error. It has long been my policy to contact people off list and offer them my assistance so as not to run foul of Mr Wilson's self confessed knowledge and I am not the only person who prefers not to post to the list. But for now I have decided that I don't want to subscribe to a list that allows such criticism. This is not the only list that Mr Wilson subscribes to and it is not the only list that he has used to ridiculed the postings of other subscribers. Thanks to those who have helped me.

Peter When you say you have a death certificate, what exactly do you mean? Official registrations started in VDL just after they did in the UK, ie around 1838. So there were no death certificates prior to that date. I guess you mean you have a copy of an entry in the burial register (or equivalent). If so, that is not a "death certificate" as such. The entries in many (but not all) of the early burial registers (marriages and baptisms too) were transcribed and deposited with the official BDM registry (of course making some people think its a "death certificate" etc) and are fairly easily accessible in most major libraries throughout Australia. In the version transcribed for the BDM Registry, there are several entries to a page (as indeed there are on the original registers for that matter). So I was wondering therefore why you picked this one out? Or do you just have a photocopy of part of a page for some other person and John Mellows just happens to be there too? Anyway, of more substance is the fact that one must not be mislead by what one sees on a document such as this. Curiously, this is a site for Tasmanian convicts and yet you said that Mellows was apparently a free man, making your posting somewhat inconsistent. Nevertheless, even though the entry in the burial register does have "free", this has to be read in context (as it does for the General Musters too). He might have been "free" when he died, but that doesn't mean to say he was always free. In just the same way that being "married" now, doesn't mean you have been married all your life. In this case John Mellow(e)s was in fact a convict, per Calcutta to Port Phillip in 1803. He appears in the 1803-1804 Victualling list and again in the 1811 muster. He was convicted in Northampton in 1802 (at age 32) for life and received an absolute pardon on 25 January 1813 (sources: musters/Uebel CDrom/Baxter CDRom/Convict CDRom).

Sorry Diane, Can't be more explicit. Roger Pitt was born in Tas according to an entry in the Tas Archives website but no parents cited. Its an [f] entry which means someone submitted it. He married an Ann Murphy then reappears in Victoria married to Ann Quinn. If it is the same man he emigrated to Geelong 1845 but no record of his wife (or daughter Jane) coming with him.

Tasmania 1829? Married Roger Pitt, does she have a convict record? Thanks fellow Listers.

Hi Listers, I have the death certificate of a John Mellows born c.1770 - Place Unknown, who died 11 August, 1815 and was buried 13 August, 1815 in the Parish of St. Davids, Hobart, Tasmania. Apparently John Mellows was a free man. Does anyone know anything more about him or would like to claim him? Peter Gainsborough (Croydon, Surrey, England) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

On a number of my convicts there were descriptions of tattoos, including the colour, shape size how clear they were, scars, large moles etc, Remember they needed those to find them if they escaped.

There's some info. at: http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/res-14.html I was wondering if tattoos that convicts already had were recorded on their physical description on the convict record sheet. I have people with 'lancet mark' listed, could it mean a tattoo, as there were scars also listed as 'scar' for the same person? Rachael Wiltshire, England
