I am looking for information on Timothy Kearns, born c1835, in Ireland. He went to Australia mid to late 1870s. I believe he ended up in Victoria. I think he may have lived in Kilmore, outside Melbourne. I have no idea where to trace him from there. Are there records available to search online? I am researching from Ireland. regards Ros Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Jocelyn, Thank you for the marriage details of James and Margaret and all your help, I will write to England and see what other info I can find from family over there, as I agree, it is a bit tricky with not all the info available.

Lloyds also sent me paperwork explaining some of the abreviations etc, it says the name of the ship is underlined on the document if the person named is the captain of the ship. TASSO is underlined??Bit confusing!! I have never come accros a ship yet that he is on the crew list as captain tho have seen him listed as engineer and am sure have seen him listed as chief mate I did read that Mr Herd was owner of the TASSO as well as captain Maybe Mr Herd was a partner of some kind? I also came accros another Alex McIntosh who was a master mariner but younger than my Alex,but as he never seems to be honest about his age, i cant totally discount him i suppose I have wondered if he really did die over in Oz in 1871 as there is no hint or clue to follow up on, maybe he just did`nt want to come home to Scotland with Sarah or why did`nt he go with her in 1867??? Divorce would`nt have been an option for them in those days, maybe they agreed to go thr separate ways The plot thickens Jocelyn lol!!!

The engines are high-pressure, having been constructed by Mr. Vale, of Pyrmont. ..... There is a report of the TASSO caught in a storm and all the horses it was shipping died- no mention of any crew The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Monday 9 October 1871 .... re Alex's occupation - was he a master mariner or always a 'mate' of varying rank?

Hi again I just found the family in Salford Lancashire -in 1861 - by 1881 Francis was with his sister Margaret ODDY and Pauline ( registered as Anastatia Pauline)...so he was a weaver Also found his birth registration - you can order these certs online if interested: Births Jun 1862 BAINES Francis Joseph Salford 8d 105 1861 BAINES, James Head Married M 31 1830 Warehouseman Manchester, Lancashire BAINES, Margaret Wife Married F 30 1831 Ireland BAINES, Margaret Daughter F 9 1852 Scholar Manchester, Lancashire BAINES, James H Son M 7 1854 Scholar Manchester, Lancashire BAINES, Jessie Daughter F 5 1856 Scholar Manchester, Lancashire BAINES, Frederick Son M 3 1858 Scholar Pendleton, Lancashire BAINES, Pauline Daughter F 1 1860 Scholar... Pendleton, Lancashire Address: 45, Hodge Lane, Salford County: Lancashire The net needs to be cast quite wide to find someone this elusive -so I think a few more family clues might help! Also, what makes you think he was murdered?

Hi Colleen There are quite a few Francis BAINES!....its difficult to find someone without a bit of background when there are so many...you said in your first post he was born 1856 - but then in your last post 1861...so that makes it a bit tricky. Was Francis with his family in 1881? Did he come out with his family? How long after do you think he was murdered? I have searched Trove as well and nothing jumps out!!

There are some very knowledgable helpful people on that List. You should post all his trips there- someone will be able to tell you which ports he was sailing from etc- and they may even know the history of the ships...in fact I have a subscription to the Gale Newspapers - so you could post the ships and dates here and I'll have a look in the old papers....sometimes we have to go back before we can go forward. I like to get a feel for the person I am researching which is why I usually do a lot of what others may think 'irrelevant research'..its surprising what I come up with even though I am never sure I will find anything Anyway, keep us posted Cheers Jocelyn Regards Jocelyn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
