Hello 'The Basclains' Welcome to the list. I am researching the convicts on the 'Australasia' and two of them were in service to Philip Levy. Margaret Cahill was contracted to work for Philip Levy of Liverpool St on 2 October 1851 as a probation pass-holder, for 12 months at £7 pa. Bridget Callaghan was contracted to work for Philip Levy of Liverpool St (address also given as Bathurst St) on 24 January 1852, for 12 months at £7 pa. On 26 February 1852 she appeared at Hobart Police Court charged by Philip Levy with absence without leave from his service (from Elizabeth St) from 1 February to 25 February when apprehended. She received 8 months' hard labour. I am not sure why the address given on different records changes - Liverpool St on the register of contracts with convicts, Bathurst St on Bridget Callaghan's conduct record, and Elizabeth St on the Hobart Police Court record. Any ideas? All of this information is in my forthcoming book - 'A Drift of Derwent Ducks'.

Tracing Philip Levy transported on Surrey (2) 1829 to Tasmania. Was a shoemaker of Liverpool Street Hobart Town. May have been in business with William Henson, There were 2 Philip Levy's in the colony at the time, the one I am tracing is the one married to Leah Lazarus and father of Lewis, Asher, Isaac and Sarah. He was a member of the Hobart Synagogue in 1844. Although he married Leah I can not find reference to this. My Philip Levy moved to NZ with some of his family and died in 1865 in New Zealand as reported in "The Mercury" November 25th, 1865. Leah Lazarus arrived on the Boadicea in 1834 with her sister Julia. They were parasol makers from London. Any help would be appreciated. ==== AUS-TAS-CONVICTS Mailing List ==== To UNSUBSCRIBE from the 'D mode' send an empty email with ONLY the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body text to AUS-TAS-CONVICTS-D-request@rootsweb.com ============================== Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more.

A book...Well, how very exciting. Do you know that until the last 2 months or so, I had been tracing Philip's son and grandson Lewis Lyons-Levy junior and senior, I had been tracing "Lyons-Levy" as that was the hyphenation he used, then one day I realised it was Levy!!! Yes a big "Der". In regards to Philip...there were 2 x Philip Levy's in Tasmania at the one time, this may or may not answer your question. Records for Members of the Hobart Synagogue 16th September 1844 shows #2 Philip Levy of Hobart Town and #10 Philip Levy of Liverpool Street. When (my) Philip had his children registered at the Hobart Synagogue on the 17th September, 1844 #3 Lewis, 4 Asher, 5 Isaac Mother Leah Levy Father Philip Levy but further down there is also the other Philip Levy and his wife Mary registering their son Emmanuel. Maybe therein lies the answer? In regards to a copy I have of the wages and contracts...1851 2 October, indeed a Marg Cahill is listed but it is Marg with a tiny little t above so I am suspecting this is actually Margaret Cahill. Could this be correct? Two names down...1852 24 Jany, Bridget CallaghanI know that Philip went to NZ with his family, records indicate Waikato and a family photo was given to me with Lewis Lyons Levy in coronet uniform. Philip died in November 1856, record in the Mercury for 25th November, 1865 top left hand corner "DEATHS". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trudy Cowley" <tcowley@bigpond.net.au> To: <AUS-TAS-CONVICTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 8:50 AM Subject: RE: [TAS-CON] Philip Levy Liverpool Street Hobart Town Hello 'The Basclains' Welcome to the list.
