Hi List, There has been mention on this list quite some time ago, but ... if you've ever been looking at a conduct record for an assignment system convict (CON31 for males and CON40 for females), and the guy or gal has been so norty that the page allotted to them is full up, you sometimes see written at the bottom something like "See Supplementary Volume XXX no. yy". This is a direction to the supplementary volume where all the rest of the conduct record for that convict is written up. 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 good thing (which I just discovered) is, the CON32 records (supplementary volumes for male convicts arriving during the assignment system period) are also available online on the Tas State Archives (LINC) website, among all the other online convict records. http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/default.aspx?search=1 Douglas

Has the website for Graves of Tasmania changed? Previously I have been able to check the website for family graves, this seems to have changed. Recently I checked the website, so I could send the address to a distant cousin, and I could only find graves of World War 1 and 2 casualties mentioned. Has something changed? thank you, Patricia

I agree with George. The help that I have received from list members over the years has been fantastic. Although I have never had the privilege of communicating with Trish I always enjoy reading her posts and appreciate the effort she must make for others.

Hello Elaine, I have had occasion to search for details in this area and have had total cooperation from the local Burnie [or whatever the district is now called] Council in search of their records. I think I can send you contact details if you require them. regards Barry R On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 8:29 PM, Elaine Jefferson via <aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Is this on line or would I have to phone to see who is there? and > thanks for all the help and TROVE for me has been off line all dammed > day due to the weather Gee has it been wild > Yes the Goninon name is rare, anyhow I shall push on > Thankyou all again > Elaine > ------------------------------- > AUS-Tasmania Mailing List Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/ > Contact Admin AUS-Tasmania-Admin@rootsweb.com > Search the Archive (type AUS-Tasmania in the list box) > http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-TASMANIA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Elaine - There is a chapter entitled 'The Goninons at Beaconsfield' in "Way back When - People Places & Events - stories of early days of settlement of northern Tasmania" written by Dot and John Beswick. Briefly, Henry GONINON and his wife Mary nee ELLIS were among many who migrated from Cornwall to follow mining, going first to Victoria and SA and in 1878 the family arrived in Tasmania, joining the Tasmania Mine at Beaconsfield in 1880. Dot Beswick is a great grand-daughter, has done a lot of research and helped organise a family reunion some years ago. They live on the West Tamar at Deviot and you should be able to find them in the white pages......Lorraine. -----Original Message----- From: Elaine Jefferson via Sent: Friday, August 01, 2014 6:09 PM To: AUS-TASMANIA@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-Tas] GONINON families Could any one help with this name please Hilda Williams married John Thomas Goninon 1918 at Burnie His wife Hilda died 1928 with thanks to TROVE she had 4 girls and according to John T Goninons will they are Hilda Doreen of Somerset Shirley Dawn of Burnie Joan Ellen Fay of Melbourne Patricia Mary of Ulverstone Haven't a clue as to the where abouts of this family.

Hi Elaine, which family are you looking for? The daughters married names are given in his will ie HIlda Doreen Stewart etc which should make it easier to find them. Have you searched the newspapers for deaths and marriages? for instance - http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/68965000?searchTerm=%22Robotham%20Goninon%20%22&searchLimits= is a report on the marriage of Patricia Mary Goninon to Reginald Thomas Robotham. Also the Goninon name appears a dozen times in the Northern Tasmanian phone book so there are still some about. cheers Sally in icy Tas -------------------------------------------------- From: "Elaine Jefferson via" <aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 01, 2014 6:09 PM To: <AUS-TASMANIA@rootsweb.com> Subject: [AUS-Tas] GONINON families > Could any one help with this name please > Hilda Williams married John Thomas Goninon 1918 at Burnie His wife > Hilda died 1928 with thanks to TROVE she had 4 girls and according to > John T Goninons will they are > Hilda Doreen of Somerset > Shirley Dawn of Burnie > Joan Ellen Fay of Melbourne > Patricia Mary of Ulverstone > > Haven't a clue as to the where abouts of this family.

I would like to thank the respondents to my request  for a lookup up of the family of George Williams and Ann Sullivan...particularly Trish of Nowra, New South Wales. The amount of effort she put into my request was just fantastic...there was a comment which inferred that it wasn't necessary to make this sort of appeal, but for those of us who just don't have the skills or experience the effort that people such as Trish put into requests gladden the heart....George

Do any listers know of anyone who might be a living relative of Tasmanian World War I soldier Keith Heritage? He was born in 1882 and killed in action in 1916. His parents were George and Eleanora Heritage of Longford. Thanks, Damian

Hi Elaine, Is there some connection I've missed between George and Tasmania for you to be posting to the Tas List? You might have better luck posting your message to the NSW List - http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/AUS/AUS-NSW.html With such a common name as George REID, I think you will have to purchase an official certificate to establish a few facts. NSW has three licensed transcription agents who can provide certificates at a cheaper cost than going through the Registry Office - Marilyn Rowan, Joy Murrin and Laurence Turtle - http://www.transcriptions.com.au/ http://www.joymurrin.com.au/ http://home.iprimus.com.au/lturtle/ Information on the NSW marriage certificate will give you George's birthplace, as well as the names of his parents and his father's occupation - the names of his parents will help find his death in the indexes. Here's an example from Marilyn Rowan's website - http://www.transcriptions.com.au/images/marriage.pdf Divorce in the newspapers - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13944242 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article108889978 Funeral notice for Rita BLUNT (her husband died 1950 and it looks as though he never remarried) - unfortunately I couldn't find a death notice for her that may have mentioned if her father was alive or deceased - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16521183 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article18158415 There was a funeral notice for Margaret, daughter-in-law of George and Susannah REID of Ann Street, in 1891 - same family? http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13828352 Funeral notice for Susannah REID of Ann Street, in 1906 - with sons George and Andrew - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article14823426 The daughter Ada Rose REID had a son Cecil George BLUNT, born around 1893 (aged 23 in 1916) - his next-of-kin was his father Henry Ernest BLUNT, and there is a letter on his file signed by his mother Ada. The family was living at Bridge Road, North Ryde, during WW1. Cheers Trish Nowra NSW here is what I know about George Reid (aka Georgius Reid) born probably in the 1840s....perhaps in NSW or perhaps in Scotland married Aug 1873 (2652/1873) at Gundagai NSW to Susannah Kate Mary Carberry -- divorce decree nisi 15 March 1894 (George did not appear) & decree absolute 20 Nov 1894 Sydney Children: Lavina Mary Reid b 1874 Gundagai, d Jun 1950 (7796/1950); m 1899 at Sydney to Walter Edward Hokin Ada Rose Reid b 1876 Gundagai, d 7 aug 1950 Bondi; m bef 1906 to Henry Ernest Blunt Herbert George Reid b 1878 Gundagai. d 1879 (5879/1879) Ethel Maria Reid b 1 Feb 1880 Cootamundra, d 1974 Paddington; m 1909 at Sydney to Edward Daniel Joseph Reid b & d 1885 Sydney Stella Agnes Reid b 13 Sep 1885 Cootamundra, d 1966 Marrickville; m 1904 at Sydney to William Walter Harrison Rita Isabell Reid b 1888 Sydney, d 3 Jan 1929 Manley; m 1919 at Redfern to Ernest Raymond Blunt Elaine AUS descendant in Reno, Nevada
