Hi list, I am researching the Garey family who moved from Victoria to Fremantle c1890s. James Garey was a Tailor. His children were James, Isabella, Jessie Janet, and Sarah Emily. Isabella Garey married James Coverlid (in Victoria)and moved to Fremantle. Their children born in WA were Alice May 1893, James 1895, Ernest Albert 1899, Marjory Isabelle 1905, Richard John 1903, Ralph 1907. James was a Stonemason. Jessie Janet Garey married in Fremantle in 1898 to John Healy, a Policeman. Children were Ellen Rose 1900, Frances May Clare 1901, Jessie Violet 1902. I think there were other children. I would love to hear from anyone related or who can help my research on their schools, occupations, burials etc. Regards, Chris Bundaberg http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

----- Original Message ----- From: "SANCHIA ROBINSON" <[email protected]> Subject: documentary series >I am currently researching a history series for the ABC about the history of juvenile crime in Western Australia. Ideally we would like to go back to the convict children and from their explore what has happened to juvenile criminals in the present day. Do you know of any families who have a complete family tree (relatives alive today) starting with a convict child that came over on one of the boats ? Or how I could find one ? Many thanks Sanchia Robinson
