Dear list , Just a note to say thankyou to all those researchers that answered my query. Although I was unable to gain any significant evidence to assist my quest I was able to store this info for the time that I may need it when the big breakthrough happens. Thankyou again and I would still like to hear from others who may have some suggestions on where to look. Regards Gail Dear list , I am hoping someone from the many descendant someone can help me with this query. Thomas Dennis married Janet Cree at Fingal in 1852 . I have this information .She was a convict and on this certificate it is stated he is free.He died in St marys 1901 and is buried there . What I am wanting to know is ---where did Thomas originate from and how and when did he come into Tasmania . He is NOT the convict Thomas Dennis / Dennersfield .I have proven this . Thankyou for any information you may be able to help with Gail in Victoria
