Dear Sue] I am back from holidays. Sorry for not replying earlier, been trying to get back to normal after the girls are back at school. Thank you very much for the photocopies you sent me. On studying the information it would appear that these records are for the Scottish William Walkingshaw as this person was tried at Edinburgh. I don't know if you kept copies but up in the left hand corner it says Tried - Edinburgh (I can't read the next two words). Does this mean Edinburgh, Scotland. Also on Elizabeth's convict records it states her mother's name as Ann and not Margaret and her native place was London. It do believe there was another William Walkingshaw. What do you think. Sorry to be a problem.

How can I findout about ships to Tasmania in 1821/22. Thank you Jim

The cemetery is now a park - (I see you've had a reply to this - thought I'd fill in a bit more detail) - a pretty park - lots of trees, but I believe part of the hospital - which backs onto it, is also covering part of the previous cemetery. You're lucky to get details off TAMIOT, as apparently there was a fire in the caretaker's cottage at one stage and many records were lost........... ........... including those of my gr.gr.grandmother who I know is buried there, and as I can't find where her spouse is (Hannah's is known by a death notice in the paper) it's really frustrating. In NZ - there's never been a cemetery wantonly destroyed as in Oz and parts of UK. We've had a terrible fuss kicked up here when they put a couple of motorways through two of the biggest, but memorials, re-interment of ashes (those removed were cremated) etc. all survive - where records did exist that is. Some didn't. It's not as if there's a shortage of land in Oz!!!!! St David's in Hobart no longer exists as a cemetery, nor the Jewish one in Harrington St, Hobart (it's now a block of flats!!). There's one out in the back-blocks (near Eldon) that's now a ploughed field etc. etc........... Is this just endemic of Tasmania or do you have the same "disrespect' (for want of a better word) in the Melbourne area?? I admit, I think a lot of ours stems from the Maori belief system in "tapu"/sacred ground.......... so it's probably one reason why we here are so lucky. Having said that, the state of disrepair and vandalism is saddening and sickening.................

The TAMIOT gives these five entries (Name - Date died - Charles St Cemetery Plot Location): George RANKIN - 3 Jan 1837 - LN05/0518-1 Alexander RANKIN - 8 Sep 1877 - LN05/0518-2 Esther RANKIN - 10 Jun 1852 - LN05/0518-3 Elizabeth RANKIN - 2 Jun 1852 - LN05/0518-4 Barbara RANKIN - 22 Sep 1877 - LN05/0518-5 Alexander and Esther were married and the others are three of their six children. The numbering system leads me to think that there is only one location and thus possibly only one tombstone or monument. I would like to know. Eventually I would like to visit Launceston and see the above graves but for now I would like to know if they actually exist, do they have tombstones and what condition they are in (ie readable).

Elizabeth BOWEN married John WIlliam STABB in Hobart 8 June 1878. Amongst some old papers I have discovered an excellent photo taken in Hobart of a George BOWEN in a band uniform (metal badge of a lyre on the pillbox hat) possibly dating around the 1890s. I have not been able to link Elizabeth and George (possibly he was a nephew...) Does anyone have the Bowens in their tree and can explain the connection? I am happy to pass on a copy of the photo to a "rightful" owner... Cheers Lorraine

Hi, Am seeking information about the family of the above couple. I would love to make contact with others who are researching this family and descendants of their children. James Batten was born 1846 at Georgtown and married in 1871 at Launceston to Ellen Matilda Moore. She was born in 1846 at Clarence Plains. Children were : 1871 - Albert who married Florence Welling 1874 - Leopold Gustavas George 1876 - Alma August who married James Phoenix 1877 - Herbert Lionel 1879 - Ethel Amy who married Thomas Lamerton 1881 - Lewis Francis (my connection) 1882 - Elvie Madeline who married Charles Owens 1885 - Florence Elle who married William Wreford Any help gratefully appreciated.

Margaret: my Wilson interests are the descendants of Andrew Greig Wilson, my gggrandfather, born Abbotshall, Scotland on April 13, 1807, died Launceston on May 29, 1891, married (1) Elizabeth Drummond on November 15, 1829 in Scotland, died in 1838; (2) Janet Smeaton on November 24, 1839 in Scotland. Of Janet and Andrew's 8 children, my ggrandmother was Helen Wilson, married to Robert Quaile on May 14, 1861 in Launceston. Does any of this sound familiar? I have lots of info on this side of the family. Gretchen McCallum Enumclaw, WA, USA

I am inquiring into any information on Jane Anne BROWN, there seems to be no record of her birth in the Tasmanian archives, although she was christened in 1828 in Launceston, Tasmania. Her father was John BROWN, a carpenter while her mother is unknown. At the age of 17 she married James Richard FRY, ON 30 April 1845 at Christ Church, Longford, Tasmania. James came to Tasmania in the brig on the Persian on 7 November 1830. He received his ticket of leave in November 1836, his conditional pardon on 12 April 1841 and his certificate of freedom on 8 July 1847. He had no offences recorded on his conduct sheet while a prisoner. They left Tasmania in 1848, to Victoria. Is anyone else researching this family, would love to share info. Kind regards Sharon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- family@vic.australis.com.au Family names that I am researching are: Fry, Towers, Garlick, Wittingslow, Russell, O'Leary, Brown

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and would like to register my interest for the above names. George Moore married a Mary Simmons and after his death we think she married a Thomas Gardiner. On the other side we have two convicts - John Batten who married Emme Felicite Gabrielle Chardonez Malhomme. I'm sure there must be descendants of these families still living in Tasmania and beyond and would love to connect with them and extend the family documentation.

When there are, I answer. My thoughts exactly. My posts might be few and far between, either requesting info, or doing a look up if I have the appropriate resource, but I'd hate to be unsubbed just because I live in anticipation that someone might mention a name I', interested in.
