Hi Listers, Can anyone help me with this conduct record. The lady in question seems to have filled up her allotted space on the page and then they've had to find somewhere else to put the rest but I can't work out where from the notation which appears to be SV4 page 117?? http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/ImageViewer/image_viewer.htm?CON40-1-5,358,347,L,80 Cheers, Peter

I have a similar problem with a baptism in the 1870s. If possible can replies be sent to the list as this could help a lot of people who are looking for ancestors who do not appear on the Tasmanian Pioneer Index. Mine included.

Hi all, when a child was baptised in the early 1870s in particular, who stated the name of the father, and/or mother of the child. Did said father & mother have to be in attendance, or could another family member say, just take them along & have them baptised. Or could the mother merely state the name of the father? And did the mother need to show any proof of marriage? I have tried to gooogle this but just get The Lord's Prayer. ( Hoping someone can help Cheers Sally

Don, If you go to the TAS Research Portal and do a search on the Convicts....putting Lord Sidmore 1823 in the ship ID, then it will pull up a list of 58 convicts....then you should be able to cross reference against the list at the History of Australia site: http://portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=11 hope that helps, cheers, elaine On Monday, June 16, 2014 1:55 PM, Don Bradmore <djb100@mmnet.com.au> wrote: Dear Listers,  On 7 September 1822, Lord Sidmouth sailed from Woolwich, England, with 97 female convicts.  It called first at Hobart where it disembarked 50 of the women.  It then went on to Sydney to disembark the remaining 46 (one had died on the voyage) on 27 February 1823.  I can find a list of the total 96 convicts (see http://www.historyaustralia.org.au/twconvic/Lord+Sidmouth+1823) but I can't distinguish which of those were disembarked at Hobart.  Is there a list anywhere?    Can any kind soul help, please?  Don Bradmore, Central Victoria. ------------------------------- 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

Dear Listers, On 7 September 1822, Lord Sidmouth sailed from Woolwich, England, with 97 female convicts. It called first at Hobart where it disembarked 50 of the women. It then went on to Sydney to disembark the remaining 46 (one had died on the voyage) on 27 February 1823. I can find a list of the total 96 convicts (see http://www.historyaustralia.org.au/twconvic/Lord+Sidmouth+1823) but I can't distinguish which of those were disembarked at Hobart. Is there a list anywhere? Can any kind soul help, please? Don Bradmore, Central Victoria.

Hi all, I am posting this message with the permission of the list administrator. I am having a clear out, and have a number of genealogical society magazines to give away. Collect from Rosny (Hobart eastern shore), bring your own box(es) or shopping bag(s). If no one wants them I will put them in the recycling bin.

Some headstones from St Johns New Town were also relocated to Cornelian Bay and I think they have been moved a couple of times within Cornelian Bay since the original move. I wonder if in the various relocations the St John's Westbrook stone got mixed in with Queenborough ones?

Walter Sayers Edmunds was the 3rd mate on the Lady Mary Pelham which arrived on 26 September 1836 from Liverpool and Kangaroo Island. The bloke died on 24 October 1836, after the vessel had left for the South Sea fishing grounds on 15 October, and was buried on 27 October by the Colonial Chaplain at St David's cemetery where his headstone still survives. Does anyone know where I could find his cause of death and/or his place of death. Do hospital records or coroner's records for that period survive? To the best of my knowledge he had no friends or family in VDL yet he had a headstone notwithstanding the fact that his shipmates had departed before he died.

Hello Gerald According to previous posts on this list, Walter's funeral is on TPI under EDMONDS and was on 27 Oct 1836 in Hobart District. Reg# 34. He has a Headstone in St Davids Park, Hobart, stating he died 24 Oct 1836. The site below "Pioneers and Settlers Bound for South Australia" states he died on the voyage, yet the "Lady Mary Pelham" arrived Hobart on 27 Sept 1836 after leaving Kangaroo Island. So it seems he may have been too ill, or already deceased, to continue sailing on the departure from Hobart on Whaling ventures.

Hello all. I have recently photographed a headstone which reads "In Loving Memory Of Isabel, Wife of Hedley Westbrook, Whicamp Bellerive, Obit 14th Feb 1936" This headstone is located at Cornelian Bay Cemetery amongst the headstones relocated from Queenborough. However I understand that Queenborough was closed circa 1923. Isabel has a Memorial Window at St Matthews Church Rokeby and her husband Hedley Westbrook is buried at Rokeby. I cannot find a record of death or burial for Isabel Westbrook on the SMCT list, TAMIOT or anywhere else. Why is her headstone placed amongst the Queenborough Headstones? I am distantly related to Hedley Westbrook and this anomaly has me puzzled. Donald Reid Sunny Kingscliff.
