Hi June, According to the Convict CDROM there were 34 males by name of Townsend who arrived in VDL as convicts. None had the name Job. Plenty of James and John though. Next time I am in the archives (probably Thursday evening to do convict lookups) I will check in the permission to marry cards under the wife's name in case he was one of the above Townsends.

Native Place Laurence Poultney Lane, City of London Ann Levy (pr name Dunleavy) Born 1816 Armagh Sentenced at Lancaster 27 Dec 1843 Transported "Angelina" Previous convictions, three months for stealing meat, three months for stealing shoes and transported for stealing two shawls Widow, 2 children, Margaret 6yrs, Thomas 2yrs. The children were placed at the Orphan School, New Town. John Hill & Ann Levy married at St Josephs Hobart 1848 and had four children Mary Ann, John, Elizabeth and Sarah Jane. John & Elizabeth died at a young age. Mary Ann Hill married Walter Charles Smith in 1876, St Davids Cathedral Hobart but reseach to date has not been able to trace the deaths of John Hill or Ann Levy or any information on the lives of Ann's children Margaret & Thomas Levy or Sarah Jane Hill.

one of my convicts Deborah SKELDING (nee SMITH) born: c.1813 at Bristol offence: Leamington, Warks - stealing a pair of boots, had served 6 months for a similar previous offence. sentance: 7 years ship: Asia 1847 died: 1890 Victoria, Australia. Deborah had been married to Thomas SKELDING who (may have) died before she was convicted. They had three children who were on the Asia with Deborah. There is no trace in Tasmania of two children but the youngest Esther (3) spent several years in an orphanage and was released to Deborah when she gained her ticket of leave. Deborah was given permission to marry another convict Joseph GARRAWAY in 1849. Her daughter Esther married William, son of another convict Nathaniel CARR in 1865 at Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia. One son was born before they moved to Dunedin, New Zealand for the rest of their lives. cheers Graham Dixon (Auckland, New Zealand)

one of my convicts Joseph GARRAWAY born: c.1820 Batheaston, Sommerset offence: Highway robbery, gang of 5, stole 27 sov. and a watch sentance: 21 years ship: Moffat 1842 died: 1888 Victoria, Australia others in the gang were James KNEE, John BRINKSWORTH, Henry JONES, and John RAWLINGS who were all on the same ship. Joseph married another convict Deborah SKELDING in Tasmania. cheers Graham Dixon (Auckland, New Zealand)

One of my convicts Nathaniel CARR born c.1800 Tardebigge, Worcestershire died 1863 Victoria, Australia Offence: "stealing a duck and a drake", he had served 6mths gaol for a previous offence Sentance: 7 years ship: Earl Grey 1842/3 I have found his children Rebecca and William and their descendants in Australia and New Zealand but have no idea how they got here. His wife Jane (Cooke) and younger children Thomas, Daniel and Sarah were in Birmingham at 1851 census. I am still trying to confirm other children including John, Richard and Edward in England at later dates. It is possible that the family came to Tasmania and some returned to England cheers Graham Dixon (Auckland, New Zealand)

Hello listers I overlooked, very remiss of me ... that there are subscribers to the list who may not have convicts but have great wealths of knowledge who may like to suggest to those that do where they might look to uncover certain information. This is remembering that some people are new to convict research if not genealogy as a whole. It also might be beneficial to state what resources you may have if you are will to look up information for people ... remembering copyright issues as well. I have Charles Bateson's Convict Ships and several other books that list the various microforms/resources in each States. Bright Blessings Sandie List Administrator
