    1. Re: Joseph Back per Atlas 1816
    2. Garry Wilson
    3. Hi Nicole (and Cathie, Lee-ann) Joseph Back (as Bach - Rev Bobby Knopwood was a hopeless speller) married Ellen Dixon 15 June 1818 in Hobart. She had arrived PJ per Canada Aug 1817 and thence to Hobart per Elizabeth Henrietta that same month (with my forbear as it happens). According to Leslie Uebel's Index Port jackson Anthology), Joseph's indent shows he was 30 when convicted in Sussex in 1815, but his age at marriage in 1818 was given as 40! Ellen's age was given as 26. To date I have not located any children for this couple. Nor a death for Joseph (so Lee-ann's mention of a death in Vic may well have been his, as the dob would be roughly consistent with the large range we already have), however Ellen apparently died 3/4/1835 according to Tardif but I have not yet verified that. Perhaps Buchanan has her listed in his index (if she died in Tas that is). There are no apparent entries on the Tas Pioneer Index corresponding to this date. Let me know, when you get the detials of the death in Victoria if that fits. Regards Garry
