Sandie, In your first message, you indicated that you objected to the mention of the "research fees" charged by the Archives Office of Tasmania, because "it is considered to be commercial advertising". Although you may have implied that Rootsweb policy was behind it, you did not indicate the basis on which that assertion was made. You have now indicated that "it is quite okay to mention that there is a fee applicable for research just don't add the price". As you are evidently aware, the fee charged by the AOT is most emphatically *not* for a commercial service, but is simply a charge levied by the government authority which has custody of the records most relevant to the subject of this list. I would firmly suggest to you that the original poster was doing no more than providing information of interest and relevance to members of this list in quantifying the said fee. As a sometime listowner, I am well aware that the position carries with it responsibilities, as well as rights. Those rights include the right to request that topics be closed for discussion. Responsibilities, however, require that list members understand and accept the reasons for such requests. I would suggest to you that your reasoning in this instance is neither clearly understood nor clearly explained.

Maureen ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 8:29 PM Subject: [TAS-CONVICTS] Burial Place - Triabunna, 1869 Hello all; I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction for the burial place of Ann CUTTIFORD (d. 4 Jan 1869, age 68, Triabunna) and Daniel CUTTIFORD (d. 5 Jul 1869, age 63, Triabunna) They were married in Buckland St John the Baptist in 1854 so I would assume they were CofE. There appears to be three cemetries in Triabunna: St Anne's (which is Catholic, opened 1856), Dead Island (which closed in 1856) and St Marys Anglican (built in 1881) This would seem to indicate that they were either buried in the Catholic Cemetery or in another town. I can't find them in TAMOIT and I doubt if they had the £'s to pay for any headstone, especially seeing that they were both ex-convicts and Dan died within a few months of Ann, but we're off the Tassie in a couple of weeks to retrace Daniel's steps as best we can and it would be good to pay some respects whilst we're there. Any advice/help etc on where they might be would be greatly appreciated.

Dates of what???? There are 333 references to Hindostan - convict - by doing a "google" search. But I didn't go so far as to include your ancestors' name to see if there are any particular references.

Hi to all Don't forget you can get all the details for all states on - http://www.users.on.net/proformat/bdm.html Cheers, Peter, NZ
The 1863 death cert I have is silent on place of birth or place of death............. and the informant was no use either. He had a pregnant literate wife and four other children.......... so I don't know why the information was missing. Totally frustrating. Was a brick wall - until I went through the AJCP muster rolls AGAIN for his army discharge and finally found that important piece of information.

Thanks everyone ... was just kinda hoping there might be a lead there ;) ... sheeeesss Irish convicts are hard ones !!!! Bright Blessings Sandie
Hi Sandi The death certificates do not give you alot of information. When died, Name and surname (sometimees if you are lucky it may give an address ie Argyle St (born England), sex, age, rank or profession, cause of death, Signature, description and residence of informant (occassionally it will give a person but most often the undertaker, deprending on where the person died or lived), when registered and the signature of the deputy registrar. You can get copies at your local library if they hold the films for the cost of a photocopy.

Hello from chilly England ;-) A comment made by Patti Vallance made me think - she said that not everyone's convict ancestors made the newspaper. After a while I realised that I had been spoiled a bit. My local newspaper, the Stamford Mercury, claims to be Britain's oldest newspaper. Most local historians disagree, but it has been around since at least 1712. Only from the 1790s/1800s though does it begin to contain anything of relevant interest to family/local historians. With regard convict ancestors, the Stamford Mercury reported on the following: Lincoln and Northampton Assizes Holland and Kesteven Sessions Stamford and Stamford Baron Sessions Peterborough Sessions Rutland Sessions In addition there I have seen the odd sessions report from this 'catchment area' So many records belonging to Stamford have vanished to the various County Record Offices - I say various, because if you look at Stamford in Lincolnshire you'll see it lies on the border of Rutland, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. Not only that the town of Stamford itself is historically divided between 5 parishes in Lincolnshire and 1 in Northamptonshire. This means local historians traditionally travel to 4 CRO's (Cambridge, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton) just to cover the Stamford area - I understand there was a lot of talk about Stamford and Rutland combining with parts of Northamptonshire to form a new county (big vote in favour here), but never went ahead. Crime committed by locals tended to be reported in fuller details; assize and session reports from outside of Stamford may therefore be selective and at the discretion of the reporter. As an example I've included the newspaper reports relating to John Plowright (the prisoner record of who Sue Wyatt is kindly looking up for me). http://www.btinternet.com/~mithril/jp.html There were obviously several other newspapers around at the time e.g. Lincoln Gazette and Northampton Mercury, but if anyone has tried to obtain details from the newspapers and no-one has come forward to help, let me know (I will need of course the name, court and date) and if it's been reported in the Stamford Mercury, I'll send you a transcript of anything I find. As an aside, I may have another transportee, John's older brother William Plowright was also sentenced to 7 years in 1838 - nothing further known. Not only that, a James Ploughwright, not related but of Easton on the Hill (a small village, but seemingly a hotbed of crime in the 1830s), had the same sentence given him at the very same sessions!
