Hello Jenny and others I have come across this before - see the snippet below: Hobart Town Courier, 1 January 1831 p.2 col.4: The late case of Jane New, a female convict of this colony, who had joined her husband at Sydney, has been the indirect means of producing a new act of Parliament, passed under the present reign on the 26th of July last, by which convicts originally transported to either colony many[sic] now be sent to the other. Perhaps this is the Act of Parliament that your Catherine Carr was moved to Tasmania from NSW under. My only problem is I can't find any record of Jane New as a convict in TAS!

In 1832 Catherine Carr arrived in New South Wales as a convict per SOUTHWORTH. She had been sentenced to 7 years transportion at Dublin the year prior. In January of 1833, her husband arrived at V.D.L, petitioned Governor Arthur for his wife to be sent down to him, which petition was sanctioned, provided nothing was found against Catherine's character in N.S.W. Then in June of 1832 Catherine sailed to Tasmania to join her husband. I personally have not come across inter-colonial transmissions such as this, and I am wondering if anyone else has come across a similar occurrence with thanks Jenny Fawcett

Trudy.....Catherine Carr cannot be found as a convict in Tasmania either.!!!! In fact, her and her husband trotted off to Victoria in 1836, he died there in 1840 , and, her brother, Michael Bulger/Boulger also joined them, and he is buried with Catherine's husband. When Catherine's husband died one paper wrote " "Death of Carr. One of the earliest settlers at Melbourne, lately a publican, died on Saturday after a lingering illness of several months. He was in Ireland, a supporter and harbinger of some desperate company, who under the mistaken idea of retrieving their country's glory, committed many violent acts and offences to the laws of the country. He was seized as an accomplice, but steadfastly refused to betray or inculpate his comrades, he was accordingly banished for a term of years to New South Wales, where through the interests of many noble and influential friends he obtained a pardon. To this day Carr's name is almost worshipped among the lowest classes of Ireland." I smell a rat <s> cheers and thanks Jenny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trudy Cowley" <tcowley@bigpond.net.au> To: <AUS-TAS-CONVICTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 3:23 PM Subject: RE: [TAS-CON] Was this normal/common proceedure/practice? > Hello Jenny and others > > I have come across this before - see the snippet below: > > Hobart Town Courier, 1 January 1831 p.2 col.4: > The late case of Jane New, a female convict of this colony, who had joined > her husband at Sydney, has been the indirect means of producing a new act of > Parliament, passed under the present reign on the 26th of July last, by > which convicts originally transported to either colony many[sic] now be sent > to the other. > > Perhaps this is the Act of Parliament that your Catherine Carr was moved to > Tasmania from NSW under.
