There seems to be 2 different addresses to the 1901 Census. I've had a few people ask me which one I used. It is (bookmark it over the other ones you've got) http://www.census.pro.gov.uk/ It looks the same, but there must be some 'behind the scenes' difference.

Country Church, Cloudeight Internet QuickNotes XIXHappy New Year to All! Not skiting, but I actually got into the census records. And yes, it's Wed 2nd Jan 2002 here in Oz. A couple of things I noticed and a suggestion or two for those who wish to use it. First, have a spreadsheet open and saved as 1901 Census. Put all your data in there, and sort it out later. Leave a couple of lines between different surnames as you download them, so you don't get them mixed up. Then all you have to do is click the 'save' icon. After doing a couple of person searches with no results, I did a 'surname search only' on an uncommon name. First thing I noticed was you have a choice of 10, 20 or 30 names per page. The results told me I had 1-30 of 211 names. When I got the first results page, first thing I did was a cut 'n' paste to Excel (or any spreadsheet).then saved it. I'll sort out the junk later. When looking at the info, first thing I noticed was a large proportion of entries had no occupations - 17/30 on the 1st page, 20/30 on the 2nd page. The 2nd thing, and probably more important, is there is no 'Relationship to Head of House' Column. I got to the 3rd page and somebody sent me a fax, which broke the Internet connection. The other thing I noticed was on the couple of occasions I ''timed out", when I clicked 'back', it took me back to the 'Search Form Entry' page, not just back one page of names. So I had to start all over again, (but going directly to the bottom of the page, as I'd already saved them to Excel), to click on 'Next' . Hope this helps those who are yet to get there. GOOD LUCK!!

Hi, In your list of surname interests you mention Fallon in West Aust. Could I ask who? My grandmother's step-father was Owen (we think) Fallon, from Newcastle-on-Tyne, England. At least one of his sons migrated to West Aust. My own granparents came to NSW about 1924 and visited Nana's step-brother in/near Perth in early 1956 when they were returning to England to visit rellies. Is this Fallon connected to yours by any lucky chance. Merry christmas to you, and a happy and successful 2002. Royalene Anderson, Wyong, N.S.W.

Please can anyone help me with the origins of WILLIAM DEAN m JULIA JESSIE PAYNE 24th April 1848 in Hobart Three of their sons were later in Brisbane, but there are too many William Deans to find a death of without knowing parents and no sign of Julia Jessie anywhere. T.I.A Barbara Sowter

On the 12th April 1850, the convict vessel "Eliza" arrived at Hobart Town with sixty male convicts aboard. Aboard were also thirty military pensioners acting as guards. Previous convict transports had guards provided by British Army regiments detailed to India or the Australian colonies, but in 1849 it was decided that pensioners could perform this role. On 13th December 1849, Earl Grey wrote to the Governor of Van Diemen's Land, Sir William Denison, informing him that a "Company of Pensioners" had been raised for establishment in Van Diemen's Land. The pensioners, in exchange for free-passage to Van Diemen's Land, would aid in the defence of the colony and provide call-up support for the civil authorities. They were to be under this obligation for seven years after their arrival in the colony. Earl Grey, however, believed that there may have been difficulties in compelling the pensioners to remain in Van Diemen's Land; "There are some particulars, however, in which, - more ! especially in Van Diemen's Land, - I consider it expedient that they should have some direct aid from the government." Grey went on to say ".in Van Diemen's Land, where labour is more abundant, and much cheaper than in the adjacent Colonies, it is very desirable to endeavour to attach the Pensioners to the spot, and prevent their becoming anxious to remove to the neighbouring Countries." The Colonial Secretary made it clear to Denison that he wanted the pensioners, as far as possible, settled together in one neighbourhood. They were to be settled on small plots of land, which following the provision of seven years obligation as enrolled pensioners, would become theirs. If there were any breaches of the enrollment (such as leaving the colony), the land would not be granted to them. Significantly, Grey told Denison "You will understand that these pieces of ground should be of limited extent, and only calculated to occupy the spare time, and add to the resources of the Pensioners, without constituting his whole means of livelihood. They should rather be in the nature of Garden Allotments, and should probably be limited to from 2 to 5 acres." The pensioners were to be settled "as near as may be, to one of the principal towns". Being near a town ensured that the families would be within reach of schools, and importantly for the government, religious instruction. ! Townships would also facilitate convict labour to assist with the erection of dwellings for the pensioners. The government was prepared to spend £15 per pensioner on housing. The money was to be defrayed from the Land Revenue. Alex Green Campania Tasmania aogreen@bigpond.com Alex Green Campania Tasmania aogreen@bigpond.com
