Hi everyone, A while ago Trish sent me a lot of info about this man and I have written this: “Mummery was a clergyman who had been sentenced to death in England in 1825 but he was sent to Van Diemens Land for life instead, arriving the following year. He received a conditional pardon in 1838.” My question is this: Mummery had started a small school in 1832. Was it possible for convicts to do such a thing before getting a conditional pardon? I am sure you will know the answer! Susan

Susan, Once they received a Ticket of Leave, convicts could do a heap of stuff that they couldn't do before ... and could continue to do it as long as they kept their noses clean. Check if your man got a ToL in the interim. Conditional Pardons were often granted almost as an afterthought, or at least as a reward for keeping your nose clean as a Ticket of Leaver for long enough.

Hi, Not sure if this is of any help with your query but my Tassie ancestors went off to Invercargill (and then on to Queenstown) when gold was discovered in Otago (NZ) I know that my grandfather, William Gower, returned to Tasmania in 1919/20 after the death (in childbirth) of his wife Lillian nee Oxenbridge which left him with a newborn baby (my mother) who was adopted by relatives in Queenstown and six young children. He returned to Tasmania from Bluff via Melbourne and then sailed on to Launceston, Tasmania. I was sent a newspaper report of the ship's foundering on rocks near the entrance to Port Melbourne in early 1920. Cheers, Ainslie.

Hi Jill, not sure what you mean - I have just been looking at it, and searched several of my convicts with no problem. You can log into your account if you have one - pretty sure I don't though. home page http://foundersandsurvivors.org/ or http://foundersandsurvivors.org/pubsearch Cheers Sally >

Thankyou Meryl for creating this list and making it possible to access help from your many listers. I beleive the count in 2003 was something like 600. I have gained a lot of help over the years and a huge help this past fortnight. I am on several lists, many are dormant, but this one is is just nice going, with lots of helpers some from behind the scenes. To make use of my post, I am listing my Tasmanian side of our family. Stating from the earliest arrivals. John Cox, Pte, Soldier of Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, www.HanslopeCox.org.uk Married Ann Brooks, Norfolk Plains (same time as their eldest daughter) who arrived with her mother, both of Warwickshire, of the same name, she died on arrival (they were convicts), at Port Jackson, NSW 1791 on the Indiaman "Pitt" then on to Norfolk Island to Van Diemans land in 1814.aboard the "Lady Nelson" with six children, born Port Jackson and Norfolk Island. Samuel Cox married Mary Ann Lucas. Their daughter Susan Cox married John Thomas Flood 1853, Church, Longford. His parents were John Flood ( whose convict, father Joseph Flood, of Dublin, arr on the "Boddington")and Margaret Watson, their son John Thomas Flood married Alice Caroline Alberta Flood who married William Laing whose parents James and Jane arr on "Forest Monarch in 1857. Williams son, William Hugh Laing married Millicent Katherine Webber, whose parents were Francis Webber and Annie Wells. Francis father was convict John Webber, (per "Pestonjee Bomonjee" who arrived 1845) who married Catherine McCaffrey/McCaffray 1857 she was 19 and he 45, whose father and mother I am seeking. She wasnt baptised in Tasmania, but I have not seen any Catholic Church Baptisms as yet. There was a convict Hugh McCaffray, but I do not know if he was related to Catherine. The Laing family married into the McArthur family whose earliest ancestors were John and Isabella McArthur, Isabella born Cambuslang and John still eludes me, who arrived Van Diemans Land, at the Tamar Heads, Launceston, 3 March, 1857 aboard ship "Broomielaw" on her maiden voyage. They had 9 children of which only 3 had any childrren. Isabella marr Thomas Earl Walker, lived Braeside road, Castle Forbes Bay. Margaret, spinster, Mary spinster, George married Elizabeth Gorman and lived at Geevston o Children, John married late 1800s to Annie Glover of Queenstown, no children, William married Marion May Delaney, whose father was a retired Soldier, came with wife and children. Marions father Patrick Henry Delaney married Eliza Baynton daughter of Sydney Baynton and Elizabeth Rossiter. I have all dates and places but meat on bones from anyone researching these families, I would like to exchange information with you.thanks Edie McArthur

Hi Rod, William Appleby and Doris Parsons were married at the King Street Church, Hobart on the 1st March 1913. William Appleby's residence is Hobart, age 20, labourer, birthplace was Hobart. Parents are named as Henry Appleby, Labourer and mother Bridget Manion Stricklind. Doris Parsons parents are recorded as Robert Parsons and Ada Nunn. No sign of a matching birth for William Appleby circa 1893-94 to Henry and Bridget. They were married in 1889 - http://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD37-1-48p28j2k Daughter born to them in 1891 - http://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD33-1-18-p268j2k Bridget Manion seemed to have a bad run with husbands? Married Ashwood 1883 http://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD37-1-42p215j2k then Callan 1885 http://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD37-1-44p189j2k then Appleby 1889... Bridget Appleby died at Hobart Hospital aged 33 in 1896 - http://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD35-1-15p71j2k Henry Appleby was still alive in 1913 because he consented to Williams marriage to Doris. Possible death for Henry 1929. Some controversy over the will of this particular Henry regarding a trust fund? Hope that gives a bit more to work with...
