Listers Was the Launceston Goal, one and the same as the Launceston Penitentiary? William Jones, in his obituary in 1859, was recorded as Superintendent of the Launceston Penitentiary for 35 years. In the 1848 Census, he was recorded as the person in charge, householder was Her Majesty’s Government, establishment was in George St that housed 120+. George Fuller, in his ‘Recollections of L’ton 1836-1847’, mentioned William Jones residing in George St and that he was clerk at St Johns. This man was married in Georgetown in 1823, no info about convict status nor ship. In 1827 he was father of 3 young boys who were recorded in the 1827 muster of children in PD. William their father, was recorded as ‘had been prisoner now free’, as per Garry Wilson’s data now on Biographical Database of Australia. Has anyone an interest in this man, who may have arrived on the Lord Hungerford? Kaye Sutton

Hi Liz, Here's an odd one to throw into it all. Using the date of his birth I have found the following on the TFI. BOWKER, Maxwell John, born 03 Jun 1917, 6 Victoria Street, Launceston, father un-named, mother Nellie BOWKER, 1917, Reg No 773. Was this surname actually BOOKER? Noah Booker and Alice Stubbs also had a daughter Nellie Harriet/t Booker who died young. Did they have another daughter Nellie whose birth wasn't registered. Did this Nellie have an illegitimate child who was brought up by one of her brothers and had his Christian names changed????? That hard part is how to prove things.

BOOKER Hi all, thanks so much for your help recently. Unfortunately I need a little more help on a different name. The person is William Edward Booker who was born we thinkk on 3 June 1917. Hearsay. Can you verify this for me and perhaps find out if there are any more relatives to this man. I am trying to get my family tree sorted out and this man is my hal-brother's father and to date we havent' found anything about him. Hoping someone with more knowledge than I, can help me. -- Regards *Liz Clempson*

Hi again Liz, Have you seen the Ancestry tree of Suzanne Walsh? That has William Edward Booker's father as William Harold Daniel Booker, a brother of David Edward Hatton Booker In the 1919 electoral roll William Harold Daniel is recorded at 17 Lyttleton Street, Launceston, as are David Edward and May (nee Sturzaker).  Several of David's children are recorded as being born at 17 Lyttleton Street. William Edward Booker's military file (digitized) on the National Archives site shows his date of birth as 3 June 1916 at Launceston. His marriage to Beryl Ernestine is in the Victorian Marriage Index. Perhaps the date and place of birth were a fiction, or perhaps he changed his name?  Nothing even close in the Tasmanian births.

Hello again Thank you all so much for your help with this…..I’ll start checking convict records for both Samuel Morrison and the John McNamara’s, Much appreciated Joy

Appears William Edward Booker's parents were having children in Launceston prior to his birth in 1916 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C95P-WWM2-Y?i=91&cc=2400177 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C95P-WWWR-1?i=35&cc=2400177 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C95P-49RJ?i=174&cc=2400177 David and May Booker married in Launceston in 1905 - Name: Davis Edward Hatton Booker Spouse Name: May Strurzaker Marriage Place: Tasmania Registration Place: Tasmania Registration Year: 1905 Page Number: 0650 David and May Booker buried Carr Villa - Given Names DAVID EDWARD Surname BOOKER Age 73 Death Date Service Date 28/9/1951 Area Mon Location B3 Number 66.00 Site Given Names MAY Surname BOOKER Age 81 Death Date Service Date 11/5/1962 Area Mon Location B3 Number 66.00 Site Can't fathom the Hobart Registry marriage in 1937 for William and Lola and then the marriage in Victoria in 1938 for William and Beryl - if they are the same man? unless Lola died in between?

Hi Liz, No record of a birth found, but there are some newspaper references to a William Edward Booker age 18 in 1936, may be worth checking them on TROVE.

Hoping someone with more knowledge than I, can help me. -- Regards *Liz Clempson* _______________________________________________ AUS-Tasmania Mailing List Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/ Contact Admin [email protected] _______________________________________________ Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe and Archives https://mailinglists.rootsweb.com/listindexes/search/aus-tasmania Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community

Peter/Chris, Your comment about "hidden" volumes and noting the police magistrate records is interesting. Be aware that there are also "supplementary" volumes to some of the conduct records - CON 32-1-5 is an example. These may not be referenced in some of the compiled databases, such as Founders and Survivors, even the Female Convicts in Van Diemen’s Land Database. I haven't had time to find the TAHO reference to these, but they should be easy to find. The particular individual I was following was Ellen Maloney (you wouldn't believe how many women there are of this name or its variants), found on page 105 of CON-40-1-7. She managed to fill the space available (and some of the adjoining space as well) for notes on her record with a variety of offences. These resulted in extending her sentence by 7 years, double her original. But there was a gap in the dates so I went searching and came across the supplementary volume - it is only referenced on that page by an almost illegible squiggle in the bottom rh corner which could be "SV5p96". -- Mike Hurburgh Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com
