G'day Al, While looking for a marriage on AOT, I came across a marriage that took place in Miners Square, Congregational Church, Launceston. On looking at Trove, I feel it must be now St Johns Congregational, would I be right? Cheers Lyn VIC

Hi everyone.. just a line to say thank you for all your help chasing realtives.. you helped cracked a huge brick wall and I am forever grateful to Peter Oakley for going above the call of duty so to speak.. Many thanks Peter.. -- Regards *Liz Clempson*

Dear all, Firstly, Captain Cook's voyages were so successful because he heeded the advice of a friend, sometimes fellow traveller ,and fellow Yorkshireman, Dr. James Lind/Lynd. {My maiden name is Lynd, and my Lynds were also from Yorkshire!) I wrote a little about him and his discovery in regard to the scurvy suffered by the Ocean convicts on my ancestor Benjamin Briscoe's website page: "Scurvy is "a state of dietary deficiency of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) [and] is an ancient disease. Egyptians recorded its symptoms as early as 1550 BC. Scurvy was the scourge of the sea explorers of the Renaissance era (16th-18th centuries). In 1746, James Lind [or Lynd], a British naval surgeon, established the fact that oranges and lemons were effective in curing scurvy." Lynd's theory was also put into practise when the First Fleet was sent to Australia, resulting in an astonishingly successful and healthy voyage - the death toll on the fleet was actually lower than that in England at the time.. They were issued with vast quantities of oranges when they reached Rio, for instance, and a much better diet than they were accustomed to. Scurvy was rarely a problem on the voyages to Australia - it was the dreadful circumstances around the Ocean voyage to VDL that caused the problem. In Hobart Town during the starvation years, the settlers ate "Botany Bay greens" - various leafy vegetables growing on the sea shore - in England, one of these plants, Samphire, is still eaten and grown commercially. They also ate seaweeds, like the "Dulce and Tangle" my Scottish ancestors ate during the 1700s. Secondly, for those unaware of the early European settlement in VDL, Risdon Cove had been established a year before the Ocean arrived, and it was for that reason that some of the sickest convicts were sent there to hopefully recover from their scurvy symptons - there was shelter there already and some vegetable gardens. Risdon Cove is on the opposite side of the Derwent River to Hobart. Thirdly, I thought, when I sent out the log of the Ocean to some who asked, that I might post a link to my partial transcription of the log of the Dromedary voyage of 1819-1820. I transcribed the log in full when I discovered it was available online, after discovering five of the men who married into my First Fleet family arrived on that voyage. Here's my website link: http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/136421/20141022-0039/www.heavenandhelltogether .com/indexd051.html?q=node/234 If anyone would like the complete transcript please email me off list. I'll wait a couple of days and send out a group email to all of those who'd like a copy. Best wishes, Carol Brill.

Most genealogies record that William HOLLAND who married Georgina DELL (1873, Deloraine) was born in Launceston 1846 to Sarah HOLLAND. With all the new records now available online I have been able to prove that this is wrong. If anyone would like a copy of my report (when finished) I happy to email you a copy. maureen.ferris(at)outlook.com.au Maureen Martin Ferris Curator, Genealogist & Historian Little Swanport, Tasmania ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few weeks ago I saw a news article about the sale of various Anglican churches in Tasmania and I am wondering if anyone has taken photographs of the headstones in the above church cemetery. Does anyone know if there are any photos available? Patricia NSW --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Elaine, I have a bit of information on Myrtle or Myrtel Ann as I have her listed. My interest is in her husband William Amos WALKER. Myrtle died 3 Aug1965 and is buried at St Georges Church in Sorell with William Amos WALKER died 9 Apr 1908. Given they are buried together and her name is still WALKER I doubt she remarried. Dates of Death are taken from the headstones as recorded in TAMIOT. The Federation Index shows they had 3 children. I have their names, dates and spouses if you don’t have them. I don’t have Louisa REARDON in my tree I do have quite a few other REARDONs from Sorell. Do you know who her parents were?

Hi List; I am looking for any information on Edward COPPING who was born about 1798 in England and came to Tasmania as a convict on the "Lady Castlereagh" in 1818. He died in 1855 at Sorell, Tasmania. He has variously been described as a Publican, Goldsmith, and Farmer, but very little has as yet been proved. However, it is known that Edward was the Licensee for the Edinburgh Castle Hotel in Harrington Street, Hobart, from May 1839 to November 1839 - just six months. Any further info would be appreciated.

Hi Margaret, No the mystery of William Clark ( he who has been the bane of the list for many years) hasn’t reached any conclusion. I for one, have searched every avenue I can conceive but to no avail. A number of his descendants have had DNA testing done in the last few years so I’m hoping that one day we might have a breakthrough that way and his story may be told...
