Hi Alison I think you mean the Brampton and not the Brompton. This convict transport arrived in Port Jackson in April 1923 to PJ from Cork.

As Julie and Lindsay have said, OpenOffice will open all your Word documents. It will save in Word format as well, but there may be problems if you use macros. You can download OO from http://www.openoffice.org/ It is put out by Sun - you may have seen the ads when you updated Java. I am running Linux, where OO is the standard office suite. It includes a spreadsheet, a database and a generator for presentations like PowerPoint. The last will open PowerPoint files, but its own format won't open in anything. Doug.

Thankfully, readers like you and Dennis Ahern, the latter in the soc.genealogy.ireland newsgroup, write in to provide your input and expertise for the benefit of other readers. Cheers, Alison

I think you mean 1823 and not 1923. And yes, it was the Brampton. On board was a Michael Ahern who was landed on April 28 and forwarded to Windsor for distribution. Michael was later listed as being in the employ of William Cox of Hobart Ville. He was sometimes listed as O'Hearn. He was from County Tipperary and in 1829 petitioned to marry Judith Kennedy at Kinreagh. He was a ploughman and had been transported for life and died in 1840 at Port Macquarie. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | The Ahern Family Genealogy Website Acton, Massachusetts | http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

>From The Moreton Bay Courier, 25 October 1860 -- (continued) --Joshua Ebenstein deposed that he had seen a notice in the "Courier" to the effect that Ahearn's shop had been robbed of £5 and having found a bag containing a sum of money consisting of four one pound notes and nineteen shillings in silver, he took occasion to advertise the same in the "Courier" of Thursday ; one of the notes was an Ipswich note ; he found the money on Tuesday alongside of his own residence a little way off the street, and close to the house occupied for government offices in Albert-street. The money appeared to have been thrown there hastily, as the silver was lying scattered round the mouth of the bag, no one could have seen it without coming on to his verandah.--James Ahearn was resworn and stated : There was an Ipswich note among the money but I cannot swear that the one produced is the same, nor yet can I identify any of the coins--Sergeant Wright, lockup-keeper, deposed to having searched the prisoner when he came to the lockup, he had on two pair trowsers, the under pair being of the same color as the bag now produced (blue) ; he did not discover on searching him any pocket in his trousers beyond a small one resembling a watch fob ; found 9s. 6d. on the prisoner's person ; the prisoner was remanded to gaol, and on [his] return to the lockup he had only one pair of trousers on, the blue ones being absent. Samuel Sneyd, gaoler, deposed to receiving the prisoner in gaol, and also to the fact of his having a pair of blue trousers on, which he subsequently gave to his fellow-prisoners for the purpose of being cut up into tea and sugar bags. A turnkey was subsequently called, who produced fragments of the trousers. [It was supposed that the bag containing the money might be a pocket belonging to the trousers, and that the prisoner had thrown it away whilst being pursued by the police.] The trousers, however, not being complete, the connection of the pocket could not be identified. He was therefore discharged. ------------------------------------------------ Historic Australian Newspapers, 1803 to 1954 http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home Aherns in Australian Records http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahcrim.htm ------------------------------------------------

Julie has made a good suggestion, Marg -- OpenOffice gets better all the time. But if you want to stick with Word, I suggest you subscribe to one (or more) of the microsoft.public newsgroups. They have some very helpful and knowledgeable people on them, and I've several times got very prompt and useful help on one of these newsgroups. But be careful, there are also a few ratbags who are simply a waste of space <g>.

Having struggled through Vista and all my Digger and Aus vital index programs not working, and taking months of fixes to get them going, now WORD has disappeared for the third time in 6 months. On previous occasion the only way to fix it is to phone Microsoft support (a nice lady in Malaysia) and have her re-do everything - four hours sitting on the end of the phone while she took over the computer - I am wondering if anyone has a similar experience and is there some other program than Word, that might be better etc. And is there some kind of list to join to deal with it? Grateful for any help Marg Port Stephens NSW
