Hi Graeme And a Happy Easter to one and all and, yes, travel safely. Some suggest Samuel Speed from WA was and he died in 1938. https://theconversation.com/the-story-of-australias-last-convicts-89723 but Lloyd Robson's "A Short History of Tasmania" suggest it was 1939... but the person isn't named!!

My grandmother was Alma but got Biddy. Smallest and last in the family!! Cheers Lyn

Biddy is a nice name and yes, term of endearment. Short for Bridget I have always thought - but, Karen?? Do you still get Biddy in the family? -----Original Message----- From: kma-pr@kma-pr.com.au [mailto:kma-pr@kma-pr.com.au] Sent: Sunday, 21 April 2019 7:50 AM To: aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-Tas] Re: Royal Admiral 1842 voyage Dear Dawn, What is interesting is my g grandmother was actually christened Fanny as that is what is recorded. When she has her first child she uses Frances. I think too Fanny was very much an endearing interpretation of the name particularly for a child. I was the youngest and always called Biddy as a child and later - as a term of endearment in the Irish sense. But yes Frances and Fanny are one and the same. Perhaps too it may have distinguished between The male Francis and female Frances. Whatever the reason it was very popular in the 1800s as I have discovered in my search for g grandmother Fanny/Frances White. Happy Easter.

I am wondering if anybody might know when the St Marys Police Station was established. I can't seem to find any specific information online. I suspect it was in the 1840s when convicts were assigned to built the St Marys Pass. Regards Betty Pilgrim

The link gives information on Samuel Speed, Julie. So true, too  and when Robson wrote that history AOT had an embargo. This was noted on all convict records held by them on microfilm. "The information contained in these records must not be used in any manner likely to cause pain or embarrassment to any living person" ..

Hi Was Samuel transported to VDL ? I’m Wondering who was the last to pass VDL ex-transported convict - * could be hard to know for certain given the gold rush(es) exodus ?

Dear Dawn, What is interesting is my g grandmother was actually christened Fanny as that is what is recorded. When she has her first child she uses Frances. I think too Fanny was very much an endearing interpretation of the name particularly for a child. I was the youngest and always called Biddy as a child and later - as a term of endearment in the Irish sense. But yes Frances and Fanny are one and the same. Perhaps too it may have distinguished between The male Francis and female Frances. Whatever the reason it was very popular in the 1800s as I have discovered in my search for g grandmother Fanny/Frances White. Happy Easter.
