Good morning Listers, Janet and Seamus, Janet you are correct regarding the transcribing of information given by either our three convict ladies, and the other Scanlan/Scanlon families members who sailed as Bounty Immigrants Down Under. I am sure that the could neither read or write, and with their Irish accents, the Clerk taking down the information who enter what they said as he thought he heard it. This also explains the two ways the names were spelt, Scanlan and Scanlon, also the mother's name Alice was spelt as Alicia. Not yet having had the pleasure of visiting Eyre, I am a bit confused about names of places, however I am willing to learn as I am 95% Irish descent on both sides of my parents' families. Only one English set of g grandparents slip into the mix, they were John and Mary Ann Nadin (nee Youde) from Manchester. John was the grandson of Joseph Nadin, who went down in history as the Deputy Constable of Manchester and the man who gave the order to attack at Peterloo. My Irish connection comes from convicts and free settlers and they came from Clare, Queens, Sligo, Tipperary and Limerick, the families being O'Gorman, Scanlan,Whelan, Clancy, Elliott, Goldie, McKeaver and Boyle. One day soon, I am looking forward to visiting Ireland to walk in the footsteps of the ancestors, with my husband, who wishes to research his Doughty connections. Thank you for the suggestions and comments, I will have to get the map of Ireland out.
