Hello Christine The family name of Delamere is found in the Antrim area in Ireland but I can't find a town. The following article refers to the place Delamere but am not sure if its in Ireland or England. http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:e6t0tVJFqUUC:www.tclixby.freeserve.co.u k/stories/round5.htm+delamere+ireland&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 David in Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "christine watson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 8:34 PM Subject: [TAS-CONVICTS] Roll Call : McCANN Mark > Roll Call > McCANN Mark > born approx 1818/1820 Ireland > native place Delamere (can't locate this place) County Antrim > (can't find a birth ) > Roman Catholic Farm Laborer > Tried Fort Beaufort, Cape of Good Hope 26Jan1846 7years > Transported for insubordination & offering violence to Supt Dunbar 7th Dragoons > (after periods in prison & 150 lashes) > Arrived Tas 18May1846 on the ship Mona (can't find info on ship or voyage) > His wife Sarah aged 40 (can't find birth or marriage) & daughter Mary aged > 10 (can't find birth) residing in Louth Lincolnshire England came out to be > with him. > A Mark McCann died Launceston aged 40 26Nov 1858 (think this is him). > 1863 Sarah remarried one George BRACKENBURY - transported for 14 years via > ship Mangles 1835 > Daughter Mary Ann married William Ridgers 1856 Bothwell.
