Good morning all, Last week I had reason to ask the Maintenance Manager at Cosgrove Park Village (contains Sandhill Nursing Home in Launceston) and the cottages about how I could find out about the plaques that are inside the chapel. You see we are not allowed in there anymore because of the building being condemned (well that is what we are told) It is not used anymore anyway which is a shame. Anyway he said that only a few weeks ago all the inside plaques and the large inside cross and the bell outside were removed to the Launceston General Hospital. I am not sure where they are up there. Apparently the outside plaques are still there amongst the garden. I have been pondering and reading about some of the Nurses who went away to the second World War you see. It was really triggered by a memory of something that happened when my mother was alive. She told me about a funeral service that she went to at the Cosgrove Park Chapel and I presume it might have been Jessie Simons. I am reading her book at the moment. Just one of these silly things that you remember and wonder about WHY ! you see I live at the Cosgrove Park Village Cottages, Launceston Byeeeee Robin Walker

Hi Jan Would you be able to tell if Bothwell was on the Hobart Circuit? I have a feeling it was on the New Norfolk one, but maybe not. I'm particularly interested in the dates 1830 - 1870, but will hold off giving particulars until we see if Bothwell is covered. Did a Google, but inconclusive.

Hi I am trying to find out when the Andrew Tolmey (bn 1796)and his wife, Jane Cranston (bn 9 Apr 1797) arrived in Tasmania. They married on 22 September 1822 in Tranquair Pebbleshire Scotland. They had 5 children, the youngest Elizabeth was born in 1823, I believe in Tasmania. Their second child, Margaret was born on 15 August 1824 at Glen Ayr Tasmania. thanks John

If you go to the website, http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/default.aspx?detail=1&type=S&id=CON32 you will see that female convicts were only added from 1832, even though the males were added from 1828.

Thanks Mike, I did some sample checks of the first two volumes and found only male convicts listed, so I assumed that there were only males in all of CON32. Good to know I was wrong!

Douglas, > "For male convicts, the supplementary volumes are recorded in the CON32 > series. I haven't been >able to find which series the supplementary > volumes for female convicts is contained in, or if >indeed they exist." The female convict supplementary records are not separate - they are included along with the male records in the five supplementary volumes. The key to determining where your convict's record continues is the date of the last recorded note in the main record, as the supplementary volumes seem to be in strictly date order as the additional space was required. The page nos. given in the record are way out of sync with the folio nos. of the digitised records, and there seem to be quite a few page nos missing. I have one such individual in my ancestry, who was so irrascible that she had her sentence extended several times so that she ended up serving 14 years instead of the original 7 year term. Her record was very difficult to read as every available blank space was filled and spilt over into the adjoining spaces, before they started her record in the supplementary volume. Maybe this is an opportunity to ask if anyone knows of her fate. Ellen Malony was born about 1817, was convicted in Middlesex in 1834, and arrived in Hobart in March 1835 in the New Grove. She was assigned to numerous employers, insulted and disobeyed most of them and spent considerable periods in the Female Factories in both Hobart and Launceston. Even there she caused trouble and was confined to solitary on bread and water. She gave birth to a daughter, Jane, in April 1843, and married Robert (or Roger?) Edge in 1847 at Richmond. Her ticket of leave was granted in 1845 and her certificate of freedom in 1848. She is mentioned in the 1849 muster, but there does not appear to be any record of her after that. Any clues as to what became of her would be appreciated. Her daughter married a former convict, Zachariah Henry York, and produced a family of 12, of whom 10 survived to adulthood. -- Regards Mike Hurburgh --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Made me quite homesick watching "Who do you think you are" and seeing Hamish, Allison and Trudy. The most interesting part was John Edwards stay on Sarah Island, he would have been there when the 15 women I wrote about in "The Forgotten Women Convicts Macquarie Harbour 1821-1826" where there. Makes it all come alive seeing Sarah Island and Hamish telling the story. Also the interesting bit about Cobb & Co in Toowoomba, my old hometown Back to warm suunny Brisbane before heading back to a very cold Hobart.
