Hi Listers, Not sure if this has been mentioned but John Horton and Carol Brill's great website has been decommissioned but is archived on Pandora at the NLA - http://pandora.nla.gov.au/tep/136421 Cheers, Peter

Hello everyone, Years ago I had a look at Armytage's land in Bagdad, suspecting part of it had originally been my ancestor's 50 acres, and I was correct, as can be seen from the article below. Ï am a descendant of William James Cockerell, who later owned the land I live on now, in Briggs Road, Old Beach, in the 1853 Wesleyan Chapel. "SURVEY OFFICE, Nov. 13, 1834. NOTICE is hereby given, that the undermentioned claims for grants will be forwarded for approval or investigation to the Commissioners appointed to examine into applications for titles to land, on the 13th day of December next, before which day any caveat, which must be in writing, will be received in his office. George Armitage, 154 acres, Strangford parish, originally granted to John Robley, George Robley, and William James Cockerill. - The Hobart Town Courier 21 November 1834" I am off to Vic. tomorrow, and will be away from my computer, so can't forward any documents re. Armytage after today, so if anyone would like the material I have on him, could they please ask today, or leave it until Dec. 17? Best wishes, Carol Brill. -----Original Message----- From: Helen Brown [mailto:peter-brown@bigpond.com] Sent: Sunday, 9 November 2014 8:50 AM To: Barry Riseley Cc: AUS-TASMANIA Subject: Re: [AUS-Tas] ARMYTAGE and PETERS Yes, Milford was right for the Armytages.

Dear list I have recently been looking in to some ancestors of mine in Tasmania namely a Richard HAIMES and Margaret MAHER who lived in Hobart and George Town in the 1830s. I have a long way to go on this however due to some similarities with another Richard HAINES Who died in the same year as my GGG Grandfather Richard HAIMES which was 1833 I found it helpful to look at this *other couple* and their family so I have gathered some information on them which I would be happy to share if anyone is interested now or if they pick up these crumbs at a latter time. *The other couple were*: *Richard HAINES* and *Ann* (possibly HUNTER or MIDWOOD) Richard HAINES died tragically in 1833 near Hobart Town. The couple had the following children: 1824 Eliza Midwood HAINES 1826 Emma HAINES 1829 Louisa HAINES 1831 Richard George HAINES It is likely that this couple had older children that were born before their arrival in Tasmania in the early 1820s please feel free to get in touch if you think you have a connection to any of these people Mabel

Yes, Milford was right for the Armytages. George Armytages certsinly was a very hard working and astute farmer and businessman, accruing so much property in Victoria where he established his sons. The family certsinly rode on the sheep's back. One of the Peters girls married a Flexmore from the same area. Their son married my great aunt. Norfolk Islanders as were the Peters.

Hi Barry I have not found any connection yet, other than the surname PETERS, between the Armytages and my lot. I did find that Elizabeth Peters was apparently the daughter of Mr Armytage's "servant" - farm manager or such. A marriage between two non equals viewed from this distance of time - but then, there was not probably much choice and probably she would be seen as "suitable" in other ways. I think the connection has to be back in England and before registration - I have not had time really to pursue it much further. I am like you!

Thank you to both Maureen and Mabel and yes, I will indeed have a good time looking them up. I don't think this ties in with my Peters family here though - it may, back in England of course. My gg grandfather was Peter PETERS - he married Ann (Ellen, Elinor etc) HOUNSELL in Battle England the 1066 place) and they came to Sydney and Albury region within a few days of marriage - he died on the farm in some accident after he had say four children. She was pregnant at the time and married a few months later, Christmas day, one of her now deceased husband's workmates on the Kuriong (? Spelling) - probably present day Corryong region - station. The man who became my step gg grandfather was James Hilsey or Ilsley, a then free convict. Ellen Hounsell was I think born out of wedlock. Battle region. Peter PETERS was not from Battle - I have in mind somewhere a bit further along, like Portsmouth or even up towards Reading. It is some time since I looked at this, obviously. The Peters/ Hilsley and Sawyer families were at Jindera just across the country road from each other, on orchards. My paternal grandmother, nee SAWYER, had a Hilsley as her bridesmaid/witness at her marriage to HUNTER (my maiden name) in 1901. I think there was a lot of knowing each other back in England - a descendant of James BURROWS (my father/s father's mother's father married a close relly of SAWYER here - changed his name to BURROWES, Charles did, and se think it was because his father James committed bigamy - he spent time in gaol here in Victoria for it later 1860s. Now, I have more to dig about with! Thank you again Dawn --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

Hi Susan, His death notice in the Mercury gives his name as Henry Alfred (Fred). His birth is on the Vic Pioneer Index. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article23648891 regards, Meryl Yost, Launceston, Tasmania ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Administrator: AUS-Tasmania & AUS-Tas-Surnames mailing lists AUS-Tasmania Genealogy pages http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Geason via" <aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com> To: "Rootsweb" <AUS-TASMANIA@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2014 3:49 PM Subject: [AUS-Tas] F CORBETT Wondered if anyone could find a birth on Pioneer Index for F Corbett, parents Eugenia (Jane) and Henry King Corbett.

Hi Folks I have Peters as one of my surnames - family story is that an old man Peters visited the Armytages at Como every year for the Melbourne cup.

Given the Tasmanian birthplace, can someone please tell me if and when the parents married,, died, any more siblings? This is a branch on my family tree and I do not want to spend the very limited amount of money I have on buying the certs fo0r these.

*Update HAIMES and Latin Transcriptions* Hi just thought I would update the list on my Latin Transcription enquiry as well as thank Dawn, Trish and Peter from the list for their help and suggestions. *BAPTISM* *Original Entry in Church Register* RGD32/1/1/2375 January 15 1827 Roman Catholic Church Hobart, Tasmania:Baptisata est Anna. Parentibus: Ricardo Hames et Margarita Maher (de 40 Reg) Sponsoribus: Michaele Kinsela et catherine Jennings. *Google Translation* Anna was baptized. Parents: Richard Hamer and Margaret Maher (about 40 Kg) Sponsors: Michael Kinsela and Catherine Jennings. *What I now think the translation is* Baptised is Anne. Parents: Richard Hames and Margaret Maher (4oth Regiment) Sponsors: Michael Kinsela and Catherine Jennings *THE MARRIAGE* *Original Entry in Church Register* RGD36/1/1/1047 January 21st 1827 Roman Catholic Church Hobart, Tasmania: In matrimonium conjuncti sunt: Ricardus hames et Margarita maher (de 40 Reg) qui prius contrascerunt april Templemore in Hibernia coram ministro protestante (tertia ant quaria die Octobris 1821) Testibus: Micaele Kinsela et catharine Jennings. *Google Translation:* The marriage are linked: Richard Haim and Margaret Maher (about 40 Kg) who previously contrascerunt April Templemore in Ireland before the officer to the witness (the third or fourth day of October, 1821) Witnesses: Michael Kinsela and Catherine Jennings. *What I now think the Translation is * Conjoined in marriage: Richard hames and Margaret maher (of the 40th Regiment) who were previously contracted at Tipperary in Ireland before the protestant minister (3rd or 4th day of October 1821) witnesses: Michael Kinsela and Catherine Jennings. *Additional Comments:* 1. I think that there is a possibility that Michael Kinsela and Catherine Jennings may have also been witnesses at the previous NOT Catholic ceremony as well. 2. I note that The 40th Regiment of Foot were Garrisoned in Australia between 1823 and 1829 and this included NSW and Van Diemen’s Land 3. There is a Richard HAINES and a Michael KINSELLA both listed on the Roots web List of: “Surnames of the 40th Regiment who stayed” Looks like plenty of work ahead for me. I II

Re-sending this post, as I think I may have had a problem with the address. Further to Peter's answer below. I actually had a notation of "1819 Norfolk Island" for this lady on my database. The BERRY family married into my MUNDY family. As Norfolk Island had been evacuated by 1814, NO child would have been born on the island after that date - or until the next settlement was established. I went back to my files and found that I had got the date and place of birth - which actually had a "?" after it - from a website in 2001. It had been compiled by a Lee Chambers. There is only one thing that may be of help. Lee had her full name as" SARAH FRANCIS ANN WRIGHT". I have just googled this name and the first site I found has her born at Exeter, Tamar Valley, Van Diemen's Land. However on the two different links, the parents are listed as GEORGE WRIGHT & SARAH "WRIGHT" on one. And: GEORGE WRIGHT & MARY JANE "WRIGHT" on the other. At least it is a place to start. Regards, Wynnette. -----Original Message----- From: aus-tasmania-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-tasmania-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Peter Oakley via Sent: Saturday, 1 November 2014 1:16 PM To: symonds3 Cc: AUS-TASMANIA Subject: Re: [AUS-Tas] Searching for Sarah Wright The Sarah Wright Ione is searching for was born circa 1819 based on her death age of 56 in 1875.
