Thank you for your advice. Could you advise where or how can I check Ellen's convict records? Thank you Maria Central Coast NSW

Hmm......are Ellen Woods & Ellen Quill the same person? I would suggest a that it could be possible but you would need to check her convict records for evidence. There is no marriage for John Chew & Ellen Woods on the Tasmanian Pioneer Index. The children born to John Chew & Ellen Quill are from 1853 - 1863. The children born to John Chew & Ellen Woods are from 1865 - 1870. regards, Meryl Yost, Launceston, Tasmania ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Administrator: AUS-Tasmania mailing list http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/home/maillist.htm E-mail: [email protected] AUS-Tasmania Genealogy pages http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maria & Mick" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 6:55 PM Subject: [TAS-CONVICTS] CHEW/QUILL/WOODS > Hi > I'm new to the list and through a fortunate circumstance I connected with another family member in Tasmania.

Hi I'm new to the list and through a fortunate circumstance I connected with another family member in Tasmania. I also found through the online Tas. archives a match with the information I was given. I have one confusion I have John CHEW arriving on 'Ratcliffe' in 1848 at Hobart. He married Ellen QUILL (who arrived on 'Blackfriar' in 1851 at VDL. The marriage took place in 1853 On the archives there is also a John CHEW m Ellen WOODS about 1865. But Ellen CHEW nee QUILL died in 1903 in Hobart. Is there anyone who can confirm the dates and marriages I have gleaned, or suggest where I can search further.? Thank you Maria Central Coast NSW

Hi all, Someone wrote a week or so ago about what was the death of a John Clements LORING. I found the info, if you want to email me direct. Sue Wyatt [email protected] Great chat room for genealogy only www.justgen.com Please feel free to come and join us.

Listers the problem with hotmail addresses bouncing is not going away. I can only suggest that ALL hotmail subscribers switch over to the digest mode. This at least enables you to keep a track of what mail is not getting through. The address is: (Insert list name)[email protected] Don't forget to unsubscribe from the list mode first The address is: (Insert list name)[email protected] All posts to the list are contained in the body of one email that is numbered. I keep two of each digest in the respective folder so that when the next one comes in I know whether there is any missing because of those digest numbers. If the numbers don't correspond then you send for the archive that is missing. You can only obtain the archived digest if you are subscribed in the digest mode. To obtain the archived digest send an email to: (Insert list name)[email protected] in the subject line type ONLY the word archive in the body of the email type ONLY the following ... get volume02/*** (replace the *** with the number of the digest that you want) There is NO SPACE between the word volume and the 02. (The 02 signifies the year 2002.) Bright Blessings Sandie List Administrator

Hi Listers have just discovered that the Catherine Lewis who arrived VDL in 1845 on the Tory is mine - anecdotal evidence had placed her trial in 1827 - no wonder I have had so much trouble finding her. Has anyone any info to get me started on her Life in VDL??? TIA Ruth in Richmond, UK

Listers I did post this last week ... perhaps because I did not include a starting date it hasn't begun. This coming Monday the 30th of September we can begin this one. It might be helpful to listers from other countries if we can give some sort of indication where the town/city is located and if the name changed over the time period you ancestor was there. >Now that we have the Roll Call finished. I thought perhaps we could discuss the >places that our convicts settled in and the types of work they undertook. >It would be interesting to bring the achievements to light, and how they lived. >Bright Blessings >Sandie >List Administrator

Hi Jacky I think its fairly unlikely unfortunately. William Watson would have been born in 1823 (not sure where) Ellen Farrell (b1827 in Kerry) did have a sister Mary (my 3x gt) Mary married in Tassie and then came on the NZ with her family in 1860. As far as I know Ellen married William Watson . I have found them having children in Oatlands (nr Hobart ) and Ellen died in I think 1879. I will keep you on file just in case.

To all those kind souls out there, We are moving to be near the family. I will be signing off all my lists at the end of September. My personal email will continue until the end of October. It will probably be the new year before I am settled enough to be back on line. Till then: May the roads rise to meet you, May the wind always be at your back, May the sun shine soft upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. Wynnette Ford, formerly Blanchard, nee Mansfield.
