I’m trying to trace Mary Ann Porter, born 30 August 1815 in Hobart. Her parents were George Porter (c1768-1828) and Susannah O’Brien (1790-1835) from Norfolk Island. She had five children to Alexander Waddle (Indefatigable convict 1812), three of which died in infancy and I am descended from Alexander James Waddle (Wadel) born 25 October 1838. Her defacto Alexander, died 7 December 1852 in Launceston and Mary disappears after his death or possibly prior to his death. I can’t find anything on Trove in Tasmania or a further marriage/death in LINC and was hoping that some clever researchers could give me some help locating Mary. Thank you and regards, Macel Johnston (nee Waddle)

Are you able to trace the 2 surviving children? Did they stay in Tasmania or go to Victoria. Maybe she went to live with one of them. Was she in prison? Court records? Sometimes they just change their name and disappear. I have one of those and she is most annoying. Good luck.

Hi Marcel There are a few family trees for Mary Anne Porter on Ancestry but they are different. One has Mary Ann married to Robert Smith and dying in 1905 at Colebrook. If you like I can give you their email addresses. Regards --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
