Hi Valerie I am not sure if ours are related, but it struck me as I have Samuel Nelson Watson b. Co Tyrone 1837(mother Eliza or Elizabeth Cochran, father John Watson) marrying Mary Ann Hughes (b. Green Ponds (Kempton) Tasmania 10/10.1838.They married at Bakery Hill Ballarat, 1856. They named their first child William, and the name was repeated throughout the following generations. I have been wondering whether my Samuel came to Australia alone, I haven't found him in convict lists so far. I believe there is a book called From Ben Nevin ??? to Little Rock which tells the story of this family. Mary Ann is buried at Little Rock (Rothwell, Vic) I think I found it listed on the Geelong Council website with a link to the cemetary. Mary Ann's mother is a bit of a mystery to me at the moment but she is possibly Banks or Farrell. Did Ellen have a sister named Mary Ann, by any chance ?? The mother's name may have been Martha. It's a long shot, but worth a try.

Apologies everyone ... I put in the wrong subject . Bright Blessings Sandie List Administrator

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

To Sandie the list admin I see your convict ancestor, convicted in Dublin City, arrived on the Kangaroo as did my convict 2x great grandfather at the same time. My query how did you find out about her conviction?

Just browsing through my Bookclub brochure and found the following: The blurb reads..... "In 1828 there was a man named William Buelow Gould, a white convict who fell in love with a black woman and discovered too late that to love is not safe. Silly Billy, invader of Australia (per Asia 3 to VDL), liar, murderer and forger, blahblah" Anyway, the book about him is called "Gould's Book of Fish" - a novel in 12 fish by Richard Flanagan. Thought I'd post the above for any Gould researchers who may not be aware of the book. Cheers, Pauline [email protected] Howlong, NSW

Hello Judith It came from 'Notorious Strumpets and Dangerous Girls'. I was also fortunate enough to get a come of the news article of her trial sent to me from Ireland.

Hi Ruth Do you have an antivirus program ??? It sounds to me as if you are being blocked.... If you don't have one, do a search with the subject "virus" and you will find heaps of free downloads (free trials) on virus scanners/checkers. You might be way ahead of me here, but I have just spent the past week being educated on this subject, and the law of averages tells me I am not alone. Those who learned these lessons sooner than I sit nodding their heads in understanding. While I'm on the subject, to all those lovely gen-friends who wrote to me last week, empathizing with me and sharing their learning curves, you made it a soft landing.....
