Hi Lyn Yes I think Straitsmen - in this instance refers to men who had been in Bass Strait for an extended period, and was linked to / suggests an earlier sealing phase, however depending on their arrival date they may or may not have been involved in sealing, seal numbers declined quickly, and Straitsmen refers to a more complex and multifaceted existence/subsistence in the Straits than just or even sealing - hence I think men who had been termed 'sealers' did later become known as 'straitsmen' once seals declined, but that might also have taken a generation in a family to change this terminology. You could also read *Grease and Ochre * by Patsy Cameron which focuses on this terminology. Julie On 16 June 2018 at 21:11, Lyn Carruthers <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Julie.

Many thanks for this link, Malcolm. I wonder if you know if there is a glossary of terms used on the website? I am interested in the historic deeds and the online Help manual does not include this.

Click on 'Properties and Titles' - you have to create an account to search. They are scanned PDFs of the original indexes, arranged by year spans. Note for the early series 1827-1926, they are typed and OCRed, so you can search by 'Find'. The deeds themselves are not up yet - expected by the end of this month (planned). I'm in the Deeds office and they are copying the deeds I want onto a USB. They have scanned a lot more than just the deeds - there are "proclamations', the LTO copies of wills, deposit deeds, Torrens Title indexes. I'm told they are uncertain at the moment as to how they will be made accessible.

Hi Marcel There are a few family trees for Mary Anne Porter on Ancestry but they are different. One has Mary Ann married to Robert Smith and dying in 1905 at Colebrook.

Hi List, Seeking a photograph of the church (now a barn) at Alberton. Cheers Maureen Martin Ferris
Over the past 25 years Sandra Duck and myself have been researching and photographing churches in Tasmania. We have had assistance from many historians, family and friends as well as the Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Salvation Army and Uniting Churches who have kindly allowed us to use their photographs. We have over 1,100 in our database, but we still need around another 330 to complete the project. Tasmanian Pictorial Church Index Facebook group page has been set up to tell you about our progress. https://www.facebook.com/groups/450348572090403/?ref=bookmarks Cheers Maureen Martin Ferris
Are you able to trace the 2 surviving children? Did they stay in Tasmania or go to Victoria. Maybe she went to live with one of them. Was she in prison? Court records? Sometimes they just change their name and disappear. I have one of those and she is most annoying. Good luck.

I’m trying to trace Mary Ann Porter, born 30 August 1815 in Hobart. Her parents were George Porter (c1768-1828) and Susannah O’Brien (1790-1835) from Norfolk Island. She had five children to Alexander Waddle (Indefatigable convict 1812), three of which died in infancy and I am descended from Alexander James Waddle (Wadel) born 25 October 1838. Her defacto Alexander, died 7 December 1852 in Launceston and Mary disappears after his death or possibly prior to his death. I can’t find anything on Trove in Tasmania or a further marriage/death in LINC and was hoping that some clever researchers could give me some help locating Mary. Thank you and regards, Macel Johnston (nee Waddle)
