It may be that the assigned service arrangement required Macbeth to pay his assigned servants at a prescribed rate, which in time became higher than the local labour market required, hence the clamour for the Government to put a stop to it?

>From what I have come across Mr. Macbeth in my own family research (his son married into my family), I have formed the impression that he was a reliable, honest and decent person, so maybe he judged Thomas Prosser's work worthy of the more generous rate of pay. Prosser may have been capable of producing the finer & therefore more profitable articles, whereas the free men worked only on clodhopper boots, or whatever? Quite possibly there were political stirrings (against the assignment system? against Macbeth's rising prominence in the community?) apart from industrial mutterings prompting the criticism of Macbeth's payment of Prosser.

There's also a Noon / the Nook near Sheffield in NW Tas....Lorraine -----Original Message----- From: Peter Oakley via Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 7:52 AM To: Lyn Cc: AUS-Tasmania@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-Tas] Nook - The Nook Hi Lyn, Are we talking about the gold mining area that was discovered 4 miles from Fingal in 1854? The earliest newspaper accounts use capitals for "The Nook" as being that particular spot 4 miles from Fingal. Later articles call it the 'Nook", so its probably one in the same spot. Would have relevance to locals but gets dumbed down by newspaper reporters??

Yes, that's great news too. The Telegraph isn't complete yet, but it's a good start. Judy

Thanks, Judy - you prompted me to check and I've found the NE Advertiser is on, too, so I'm even happier with that! And was the Leven Lever on before?

Hi George, George WILLIAMS and Ann SULLIVAN married 12 February 1840 at St John's Church in Launceston - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-35345-2097-86?cc=2125029&wc=M7HG-968:387523601,387551301,387560001 It looks like George's accent has caused confusion, and I think you will find his native place was Castle Hedingham in Essex. Their records are available online for searching, but I couldn't open the file (our computer is an antique) - http://www.castlehedingham.org/Information/parish-records If you can't read the records, you could contact the Parish Clerk to request a lookup - parishclerk@castlehedingham.org George's trial at the Old Bailey shows that his name was MURRAY and it sounds like WILLIAMS was his mother's maiden name - http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=t18281204-66-defend647&div=t18281204-66#highlight Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > Could someone please lookup the dates and places of birth,deaths and > marriages of this family....I have some information but conflicting > dates.
