Would Louise Gibson please contact me re a chat about Gibson ancestors? Susan Patterson.

Hi again Bev, Just did a bit more checking and found the following - "John GILLARY was one of 280 convicts transported on the Norfolk 4 July 1834. Convicted at the York Assizes for a term of life on 22 March 1834. Transferred to Lady Kennaway at Cork in September 1834. Left sick at Haulbowline." http://www.findmyhistory.net/transported-convicts/transported_convicts-33/ This link to another convict explains that the "Lady Kennaway" proceeded to Cork to pick up military prisoners, and a number of convicts were left behind due to sickness - http://www.convictrecords.com.au/convicts/mendham/thomas/14617 Thomas Mendham was transferred to the Lady Kennaway, which proceeded to Cork to pick up Military Prisoners only. He was one of the sick convicts taken off at Haulbowline Island. This from the list of voyages by the Lady Kennaway: - Early in June 1834, one hundred men embarked in the Lady Kennaway at Woolwich, transferees from the 537 ton barque Norfolk which had abandoned her voyage after being forced back three times. Another 180 men were taken on at Portsmouth later that month. Departing Portsmouth on 30 June, she proceeded to Cork where thirty-one military prisoners (not Irish convicts) were embarked. Many of the prisoners were sick, especially those from the Norfolk, and seventeen died at Cork with a further eighteen were re-landed sick at Haulbowline Island. The Lady Kennaway sailed from Cork on 27 October 1834 commanded by Master Robert P Davidson, and surprisingly only two further convicts died on the voyage. Hobart was reached on 13 February 1835, 109 days after leaving Cork, and 258 prisoners landed. The military prisoners embarked at Cork were not landed at Hobart: eighteen were apparently landed at Sydney and presumably some of the deaths were from amongst their ranks. Cheers Trish Nowra NSW

Hi Bev, It looks like he didn't arrive as planned (possibly due to illness?) and arrived on a later vessel - John GILLARY, convicted at York Assizes, onboard "Lady Kennaway" which arrived Van Diemen's Land 13 February 1835 - http://foundersandsurvivors.org/pubsearch/convict/chain/c31a31160421 His Conduct Record at Tas Archives shows that he was left behind at Cork - http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/ImageViewer/image_viewer.htm?CON31-1-16,256,166,L,0 NSW State Archives show John GILLORY, arrived on Mary Ann (4) on 11 November 1835; he was tried at York Assizes and received his ticket-of-leave No 45/1611 (in 1845) whilst in the Camden District. John was recommended for a Conditional Pardon, which he received on 19 January 1850, No 50/0030.

I was following this discussion with interest as I find transcribing wills, deeds etc a challenge. Thanks for the link Louise. I downloaded and installed the beta version of Transcript and started transcribing a will. It does not transcribe it for you, but it makes it so much easier to do the transcription. If you keep your lines the same length as in the original, then as you hit Enter to go to the next line, it moves down a line in the image making it easy to keep track of where you are. I am an instant fan! Now back to the will where he leaves plots in a graveyard to various people - weird!

Hi List, I am trying to sort out the above convict, he was convicted at York Assizes on the 22 March 1834. The York family history website has a record of him. ID 5320 Gillary John age 22 tried York Assizes 22 Mar 1834 The Convict Records website has 2 records: John Gillary, one of 280 convicts transported on the Norfolk, 04 July 1834 Convicted at: York Assizes Sentence term: Life Ship: Lady Kennaway Departure date: 27th October, 1834 Arrival date: 13th February, 1835 Place of arrival Van Diemen's Land Passenger manifest Travelled with 313 other convicts John Gillory transported to NSW: Convicted at: York Assizes Sentence term: Life Ship: Mary Ann Departure date: 6th July, 1835 Arrival date: 11th November, 1835 Place of arrival New South Wales Also this site says a newspaper report states: http://www.findmyhistory.net/transported-convicts/transported_convicts-33/ "John Gillary, one of 280 convicts transported on the Norfolk, 04 July 1834″ Convicted at York Assizes for a term of life on 22 March 1834. [Transferred to Lady Kennaway at Cork in September 1834]. Left sick at Haulbowline. So I would like to confirm whether or not he actually arrived in VDL or that he may have been taken off the Lady Kennaway and came later to NSW. Or perhaps I have two convicts with similar names convicted about the same time at the same place? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Bev

Hi Wendy and Sharon, I was just reading your message about BROWN Baptism, I am also looking for a Birth of a John BROWN, all I know that he was born about 1853 and was the only son of John and Mary BROWN from Waterloo Tasmania(I know this information as it was written in the Mercury Hobart Newspaper) when he died on the 22 June 1930 aged 77 yrs and is buried at Southport, Tas, he married a Maria THOMPSON. The only one close enough for a match that I could find for him: Aust Birth Index 1788 - 1922 John BROWN b, 10 Aug 1853 Parents: Father John BROWN Mother Mary OWENS birthplace Tas Reg Year 1852, Reg Place Morven Tas Tas Reg no 403.

For the info of all Tassy Brown seekers, the following may be of some help at some time! I am not following the Brown line but have these notes at hand - which must be checked of course: William Brown married Margaret Graham in Clogher cathedral, Co Tyrone at some time around 1832 - no more info. They had a son WILLIAM BROWN b1832 Tullagh, Co Tyrone; d1888 Supply River, Tas who married MARY KERRISON B1841Tas; b1841 Tas; d 1889 Supply River. ( I guess that Supply River would be burial places). They had a tribe of children:- Margaret Brown 1861-1893 John Thomas Brown 1863-1934 Mary Ellen Brown 1865-1932 Caroline Eliza Brown 1866-1941 William Edwin Brown 1869-1930 Peter Brown b1869 Martha Brown 1872-1872 James Nelson Brown 1874 Elizabeth Jane Brown 1876-1975 Daniel Frederick Brown 1878-1897 Harriet Agnes Brown 1881-1972. I gleaned the above from Ila Craven of NZ many moons ago. She wrote also- "William Brown, Junior, was a Wesleyan Methodist of Scots-Irish descent" (From letter of Ila Craven, 4 Oct 1975) "On my mother's (Elizabeth Jane Brown born 1876) paternal side I am equally interested - for her grandfather (father to above William Brown) was a soldier with the 41st Irish Regiment and was sent out, his wife and 2 children accompanying him) with a shipload of convicts bound for Port Arthur in Van Diemen's Land (sic). His wife was an excellent seamstress and sewed for Lady Franklin, wife of the Governor-General: and, because of her outstanding work, her husband was granted a remission of service, and help towards a land grant, still in the possession of the Browns, and a gown made by her, most likely for Lady Franklin, is in the Auckland Museum, having been given by Lady Franklin to a missionary's daughter on a visit to New Zealand. ....."William Brown, Senior like Stephen Kerrison...built a Methodist Church, called a Primitive Methodist then, later Wesleyan Methodist.......and now I shall be moving on (in wiriting) to the beautiful and highly enigmatic Margaret Graham who married William Brown Senior in the cathedral at Clogher.".... ....I must have lost the rest! I hope that it help somebody. Love to all Tassies from Yorkshire England.

You ask an interesting question Peter, one I'll sit back and watch with interest. My first thought after looking at some of my old letters from 1861 and a bit later, is that piece of software will have to be damn intelligent to decipher some of those flowery swirls both above and below the line in that cursive script. I've only been able to properly transcribe some letters after looking at the word repetitions and the use of the first letter in each word within the sentences, and then looking at the likely possibilities. After countless coffees too of course and forced repeats of each transcription to double check. As you say OCR just won't cut it and the thought of having to transcribe lots of these letters is cause enough to distract you onto other things<g>. Again, thanks for the question; It at least made me spend a few minutes checking out Flexicapture. Cheers Dave Cripps -- David Cripps, Tasmania <[1]cripps@netspace.net.au> References 1. mailto:cripps@netspace.net.au

Hi Listers, I've been wondering if anyone has used hand writing recognition software (or Intelligent Character recognition)? This software can be utilised on (particularly) cursive hand writing and converts it to text as opposed to OCR which is used on block text formats. ( results can be up to 97% successful -but I think that's exaggerating !!) I've used AABBY Fine Reader a number of times on text pages from books but I keep looking at all the material I have that has been hand written and shudder at trying to translate it all manually. Especially when your a two fingered pecker on the keyboard like myself !. Has anyone used a free version of such a software with any success or am I delving into unknown territory? I've noticed some software such as AABBY Flexicapture but at $400 way out of my league! Hoping someone can point to something that might be useful? Cheers, Peter

Also thanks to the indefatigable Wynnette Ford. Susan

Thanks to all the listers who replied and helped me out. And I have to say that Trove is a bit of a mystery to me. I scoured it for mentions of Denis/Dennis Riley/O'Reilly and found the court case and his death in 1884, but Elaine Hanford found another story about the sale of his goods and chattels after he died. And Bob Poole found Chitty's Road. A tip for Google Earth - leave out the apostrophe. Lots of heads are better than one. Regards Susan

Elaine, Thank you for that. I didn't think to look there, but you are right, Maree has explained it.

Listers Does anyone know an easy way to find out the names and addresses of people who lived between Shipwright's Point (Port Huon) and Franklin in the 1870s? Trying to get an idea where Chitty's Bridge was, for example. Hoping Susan Geason

Rod Sorry about the last message I left out a 'not', as in 'not in the book'. I checked the additional variation suggested by Wynnette, but still no joy.

Hi again list, Something I've always wondered about but never had the answer to: In convict conduct records, you often see statements relating to the outcome of a certain situation for a convict as follows: "Vide Lieut. Gov's Decision DD MMM YYYY". Where do we go to "vide" (see) these decisions handed down by the Lieutenant Governor? Would they have been part of the internal correspondence between the Colonial Secretary's Office and the Principal Superintendent of Convict's Department (which I assume haven't survived)? Or are they somewhere we can access? Douglas

Hello all. I am new to this list. I hope someone can help me. I am trying to find descendants of John William Walton (or William John Walton) Ritson 1886-1960 who married Annie Jean Aikman in 1908 in Tasmania. He was son of William Harbottle Ritson (1853-1890) and Christina McMillan. John was born and died in Victoria (born at Morwell) but lived for a while, as a younger man I think, in Tasmania where most of his children were born. They were Hollie Queenie (or Hollie Christina) (1909) Maxwell John (1911), Leila Evelyn (1913 who married Walter George Waldie and died in Victoria in 1979),Lorna Margaret (1915),Alex Raymond (1917), Doris Audrey (1919) Robert (1925-2009) and Phyllis (1931-1935). There are possibly more children also. I have been unable to find any descendants of these people who were much older second cousins of mine. If anyone can give me more information I would greatly appreciate it. I found Doris Audrey Ritson living in Tasmania on the electoral rolls in 1943/4 In Launceston area. I would love to find a marriage or what happened to her after this date. She was a telephonist and single. Alex, Maxwell, and Robert were living with there father and mother in Victoria in 1949, all single. They later married, I think in Victoria, but I have been unable to find descendents. I believe some of the children born early on may have died in Tasmania. Any help would be much appreciated. Lyn Baker
