Hi Rachel, My ancestors Charles Gibson his wife Susannah and 2 boys James H. Gibson,Willie A.Gibson left Rochdale,Lancs. England sometime after March 1869 and before the US 1870 census. I have a copy of the US 1870 census showing this family living in Lawrence,Essex county,Massachusetts, while there 2 more boys were born. First Robert E. Gibson in 1872 then Charles Gibson in 1875, the family who I believe worked in the cotton mills in the area as the adults were both Weavers in Rochdale stayed until moving back to Wardleworth,Lancs. in time for the 1881 census. Except for Charles Gibson snr. Susannah is shown as Head living with the 4 boys, her status is listed as married but that could be a mistake on the enumerators part. I have searched the US 1880 census for Charles Gibson born 1841 Rochdale,Lancs. England but no record is found, I even left the state box empty to search all states but no record found. I believe he died in Massachusetts and Susannah returned to England with the 4 boys, I cannot find Susannah on subsequent census returns but have found all 4 boys living in different places. Any help you might be able to shed on this mystery of mine would be greatly appreciated please feel free to contact me if I can give you any more information.

Roy, Most of the 1890 US census returns were destroyed in a fire in the 1920's. A search of the available fragments of the 1890 census do not show Susannah, Robert or Charles Gibson. Do you know what state they lived in?

Hi listers, I have a gggrandmother Susannah Gibson on the 1881 census at 2 No2 Ct. James st. Wardleworth,Lancs. who has 2 sons Robert E Gibson born 1872 and Charles Gibson born 1875 in the USA. My subscriptions to Ancestry and Find my Past do not allow me to search the US census returns, is there some kind person who has access to search the US records would do a look up for my ancestors. I do not have any more information than what is on the UK census. In 1891 they are both on UK census returns, I would be most appreciative if someone could enlighten me. Kind regards, Roy.

Thank you to Peter, Peter and Bev for replying to my query. I have tried every which way to find William MAN/MANN/MANNS on the Bedford Gaol database. I have seen the original ships indent for the 1840 "Maitland" voyage on Ancestry.au where it shows it had 6 convicts who were tried at Bedford Quarter Sessions between January and December 1839 (this is where I originally discovered my William MANN may have been a convict). I found two of them on the Bedford Gaol database - a William FELLS and a Thomas PRICE who were transferred to hulks at Woolwich. The others are a mystery, including my William and James SKIPPER. Maybe they were transferred to the hulks immediately after their trial. Bev, I would order the LDS film if my local LDS FH Centre had not shut up shop. Looks like I might have to wait until they get enough volunteers to open up again. I have researched another convict ancestor who was tried at the Kent assizes. I found that his trial papers were at Kew Archives and I was lucky enough to have a distant "cousin" who made the trip there for me and copied the papers. Maybe William's are there too. Might have to follow that one up. I had also emailed the local libraries in Maidstone and asked them if they could find anything on the trial - they were very helpful and managed to find a brief mention for me. Peter, William's parents (according to his death certificate) were Robert MANN and Mary Ann SIZELAND. I found their marriage in East Winch, Norfolk in 1809 on Pallots Marriage Index some years ago. On William's sons's birth certificate he gives his place of birth as "Grimstead" England (which is is Wiltshire). I am fairly sure that it was written incorrectly and should have been "Grimston" England (which is in Norfolk). I am also fairly certain that Robert and Mary A MAN living in Grimston in 1841 are William's parents. That's about as far as my research goes at the moment. I am currently transcribing Parish Registers for East Winch (yes, I did find Robert and Mary Ann's Banns and Marriage) and will move on to Grimston next to try to find William's birth. Thanks for everyone's help and if any there are any more suggestions they would be most welcome.

Wendy, Your "trail" through Google reveals you have been doing quite a bit of work trying to track down William Mann without much success. I was going to suggest NSW State Archives but I see you are in Queensland. You might check there if they have an sources for Convicts. See if you can find the shipping indent for the Maitland. I also see that the 1888 death of William Mann gives his father's name as Robert. There were five occurrences of Robert Mann in 1841 census of Norfolk that could fit. It might be worth checking these out. Use the Hugh Wallis site to check available records for those parishes mentioned in 1841 census. Peter

Wendy I think you will need to go beyond the Bedford Gaol Database. The LDS has filmed the Quarter Session Rolls, so you should be able to hire the film for the appropriate year. www.familysearch.org Family History Library Catalog Search on Bedford Select England, Bedford Select Court Records Select Quarter Session Rolls 1714-1851 Select the year you are interested in. I've looked at a few of these films, and it's tedious going, lots of repetition. It is unlikely that you'll find more than a few words listing the crime and the sentence, but that might help you go further. None of my family who appear in the Bedford Gaol Database (& there are many) are to be found in the Quarter Session Rolls. Good luck.

Wendy, Peter Jarman has already provided the URL address for the Bedford Gaol database site. But as he said, there is no William MANN or James SKIPPER. You might try a more exhaustive search yourself allowing for possible spelling variants or aliases. You can leave out any name and search by sentence using just the word transportation. But still I found nothing obvious. You could look if anyone else was on the "Maitland". It would be unusual if there were not a group from the same assizes. There was a William Marm that looked possible, but none of the other details came close. Have you found his death record that might give some details of parents and age? That might give some clues to his birthplace suggested as somewhere in Norfolk. Bedford Gaol database looks pretty comprehensive so if he is not there it raises the question about whether Bedford Assizes is correct. I had a similar problem with one of my ancestors, where there were two convicts with the same name on the same ship. An earlier researcher got so excited when he found the first one, he didn't go any further. So he missed the later one and had the trial place in the wrong location. I note there were a number of William Mann's in NSW in the early years, but there may have been others in Tasmania for example. I'd just double check to make sure you have the right one. Peter in Sydney

Hi Listers I have recently found that my husband's great grandfather William MANN may have been sent to Australia as a convict. There was a William MANN, aged 22 on the Australian Convict Index for 1840. He was born in Norfolk and was described as a farm labourer and soldier. On the Australian Convict Transportation Register (Piece HO 11/12) it is stated that he was convicted on 1 January 1839 with a James SKIPPER in the Bedford Quarter Sessions, both receiving 7 years. He was transported on the "Maitland" departing Sheerness (Master Geo (Jn) Baker, Surgeon Plp Toms) 22 March 1840 and arriving in NSW on 14 July 1840. Does any lister know how or where I can get details of his trial? Cheers Wendy in Australia

Hi Wendy Couldnt find William Mann or James Skipper in the Bedford Gaol index. http://apps.bedfordshire.gov.uk/grd/search.aspx There was a William Mann (from Silsoe) convicted in 1835 aged 19, sentenced to 6 weeks in prison Others with Bedfordshire convict ancestors might like to explore the above link! There is a physical description and some of the later ones have pictures.

Hello Listers Please can anyone help in finding apprenticeships. One of my ancestors Joseph Mead is listed in the Posse Commutatis 1798 as an Apprentice Blacksmith in Sherrington Bucks. He was I believe apprenticed to John Simcoe, and as I am having difficulty in confirming his parents and place and date of birth, his apprenticeship record would be helpful. I have made enquiry at the Buckinghamshire record office, but they have no records. In addition, in 1806 he moved as Blacksmith to Milton Ernest, Beds, where he remained until his death and burial in 1835. I have been wondering there are any records of boys apprenticed to him ? Thanks for any help Mary
