Hi List Have just joined this list to see if I can track the above. Thomas Callow married Mary Jones in Deloraine on 23 Sept 1855 - 22 days after the birth of their second child. Archives have them as on the index of Convict applications to marry on 19 Aug 1853. Thomas was on the Nile and Mary on St Vincent. Does anybody know anything about those ships? Thomas died in Emu Bay in 1862 and Mary married James Wallace. What has confused the issue was that on all the children's death certificates she shows up as Marion Hoy. I think she was born in Manchester in about 1835 but how does one track her back on St Vincent? Regards John Hosie Melbourne

Hello John Welcome aboard. I can't help you with information on the "Nile" or the "St Vincent", but hopefully someone else on the list can. Re Mary Jones being noted as Marion Hoy on the children's death certificates - Is Mary Jones an assumed or married name? Does it give any alias on her conduct record or indent? I have found that female convicts are sometimes transported under a married or assumed name and revert back to their maiden name (or even adopt an alias) once they are no longer in the convict system. Regarding tracking her back on the "St Vincent", you can try to obtain her trial records or newspaper accounts of her trial in England (I assume). Some trial records are available through the AJCP. In a year or two there will be a database available on CD which gives the references to trial, hulk and gaol records for all convicts sentenced in the UK - the person compiling it has just been visiting Tasmania to gather some data for it. However, that is of no use to you at present, I realise. Mary's indent should also list relatives - mother, father, brothers, sisters. Along with the native place given on her conduct record, this can help you trace her back to England using the IGI. I hope this helps. You may also wish to consider submitting Mary to the Female Family Founders Database - see http://www.femalefactory.com.au/FFRG/fffdb.htm.

To John Hosie this has nothing to do with your Thomas Callow research however HOSIE, not being a common name, I thought some of my Nephew's ancestors may be related to you, for example Alfred Charles Hosie born 1874 Hill End N.S.W. to parents Stanley Hosie and Emily Mudie Larnach, Max R.
