Hi Everyone, This is my first posting to the list. My family of interest is the PHILPOTT family from the Kanturk area. My ancestor is Ellen PHILLPOTT b. 1838, daughter of Jane and sister to Cornelius (b. 1829). At some stage, Jane and her children moved from Kanturk, to the Glamorgan area of Wales (Llantwit Vardre). In 1861 she married James BROWN. Their daughter, Alice BROWN (b. 1863) married James FREEMAN (b. 1858) who was also the child of first generation Irish immigrants to Wales (Father from Derry, Mother from Cork). That's it. Any suggestions for obtaining more information? The Cork BMD aren't on the web and I can't access records in person. I'm trying to find details of Ellen's birth, other siblings and especially her father's name.

See http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~aherns/ahcrim.htm#transport for a list of Aherns sentenced for various offenses. For example, there are two different James Aherns in Cork Assizes, one sentenced to 7 years transportation for stealing sheep in 1839, and another in 1844 who got two years in prison (not transported) for stealing a woman. What does that say about relative value? The latter one is an interesting case of abduction for marriage which was thwarted by the victim's family. For details, see http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~aherns/ahnws184.htm#07/08/1844 -dja

Does anyone have a connection to John Linehan born approx 1870 Co Cork? I have very little information other than he was a traveling showman and concert promoter. I have found him on the 1911 Irish census traveling through Kilkenny with his partner Annie and was very surprised to discover they had 2 daughters which I'd never heard mention of. Eldest daughter was Mina Linehan born 1897 England. Youngest Annie Lydia Linehan born 1906 in Dublin. Annie was a musician, born in England, she died in Birmingham England 1914, her nephew signed the death register and states Annie's husband was John Linehan a traveling showman. I really would like to know what happened to the daughters and John after Annie's death. Regards Jackie

Dear List First, thanks to Denis for putting up the assizes list of great interest to Australian researchers. I have been following this subject with interest, as you probably know Australia started life as a penal colony & many of us are descended from the transported convicts. A life sentence was in a sense a commuted from death sentence & when convicts came to Oz they were usually assigned to work for a master, so formed a very cheap labour force. Sometimes their skills were matched to needs sometimes not. A life sentence meant that you could never return to Ireland(or England Scotland etc), but you could gain freedom by conditional pardon, if you stayed out of trouble, after quite a number of years. You could even leave the colony but could never go home. In spite of the sadness involved in this many prospered, were reunited with their families ( government schemes) and lived long & happy lives.

Hi Peggy, To be transported for life meant that you were to be removed from the British Isles never to return. By the 1820's the usual place the convicts were sent was one of the Australian Colonies. Transportation for 7 years again meant to be removed from the British Isles but the sentence was for only the 7 years so the convict, technically, could return after this time. However, the government did not supply return fares so once a convict had completed their sentence they had to find their own way back. Most found it easier to remain in the colonies as there was work and land available that would not have been available at home. Those most likely to return home were those who could sign on as sailors to work their passage home. There would be few families in Australia who have been here since prior to 1900 who can't find at least one convict in their past. A lifer could receive a conditional pardon which basically made him or her a free person in the colonies but the condition of the pardon was that they could not return home. The convict transportation process is quite complex with changes to operation over the years, but the basic procedure was that convicts were sentenced for 7 years, 14 years or life. Transported to the colony, they either went into service for the government or a settler, for several years. If they behaved they would be issued a ticket of leave which entitled them to work for a wage and live independently, but they had to remain in a designated area. A few years later they may receive a conditional pardon or a full pardon, or on the completion of their sentence a certificate of freedom. These gave increasing levels of independence and the ability to travel as they liked but for many an emancipated convict they were never truly seen as being part of free society.

Dear listers. Have just heard from a friend in Bandon that the town is almost devastated, especially in South Main St area. Shoulder-high floodwater in Bridge St (central town) and 150 Gardai had to be evacuated from their premises in Weir St. Some shops had windows blown out by the force of the water. You can see information and pictures at: http://www.bandon.ie/blogspot/2009/11/bandon-flooding-causes-havoc.html and http://kilbrogan.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/bandon-flooding/ Regards, Patsy - New Zealand Website: http://www.loanegenealogy.webs.com

See http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/Other/1845/NOV.html for news of flooding in Mallow in 1845. Latest reports indicate that Mallow has been spared in the recent devastation thanks to flood barriers erected last year. See <http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/communities-pull-together-in-worst-hit-flood-areas-435140.html> for news of latest disaster. -dja

Patsy I believe there was a time where the occupation of the prisoner was the main consideration, being matched to the "needs" of the colony...e.g. did they need your occupation as a priority? I read somewhere that the magistrates/judges were given lists of the occupations in demand in the colonies. No doubt the prisoner's past history also determined the sentence. Margaret
