Hi Listers, I am wondering if there is any records that could prove if a convict I have found is mine. He was 19 years old and and convicted in 1806 and sentenced to be deported for 7 years for grand larceny. He was on the hulk of the ship The Retribution but died onboard in 1811 which is amazing that he was onboard for so long. The only connection for me is that the age is right and the name could be either Farrar or Farrer because as you can imagine they changed the spelling to suit themselves. Would there be any records of where he was living at the time he was caught or would there be any records of where he was buried or would it have been an unmarked grave ? I have found the Old Bailey Records for his trail, but again nothing to prove if he was mine. Thanks, Maureen in Oz.

An interesting story, Jo. The TNA website shows that the will of a Catherine Leach, widow, of Saint George the Martyr, Middlesex, was proved in P.C.C., 23 December 1776 (PROB 11/1026/211). Perhaps it would be worth having a peep at it. (P.S. I noticed another P.C.C. will of a Catherine Leach, widow, of Southwark, proved in 1790 (PROB 11/1196/14), but yours would have been rather old by then.) Kind regards, John Townsend

Hi all I have the brother of my g g g g grandfather Edward LEECH born 1702 in Frensham, Surrey, son of George Leech of Dogmersfield, Hants. Maltster. He was apprenticed to Alice, widow of William Daverell, Distiller, 19 Feb 1718/9 in London. On the 13th of Sept 1731, he married Catherine REYNARDSON at St Clement Danes, in London On the 2nd of February 1737, he was murdered (stabbed after an argument) by his brother in law Abraham Reynardson.  Abraham then fled England and went to France. George LEECH was buried in St Clement Danes on 8/9th February 1737. The only Catherine i can find was bapt in 1691 St Peter Le Poer,  daughter of Joseph Reynardson and Anne Coppin. (Anne was from Hertfordshire). This means she was 40 years old when she married George?  They were a wealthy family.  I understand the argument was about money as George Leech had been declared bankrupt in 1736 (from newspaper reports), so he may have married her for her money.... I cannot find any children born to them. Question: Catherine Reynardson/Leech seems to have completely disappeared.  She may have gone back to Hertford where she was originally living at the time of her marriage, but i cannot find a death or a remarriage that fits either in London or Herts or anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Jo

Hi I am writing to provide an update on the 1871 Surrey census project. One further piece has been uploaded to the on line database and is now searchable for free on the main freecen site at http://www.freecen.org.uk This is piece RG10/725 Camberwell which covers part of Camberwell This means that there are now 61,427 (7.5%) 1871 Surrey census records available to search free on line. Many thanks to all the volunteers who have kindly given up their free time to assist with the project without their help this information would not be available. We have a long way to go but the more volunteers we get the quicker the information will become available. If you would like to help with making more information available please contact me on [email protected] Hope this helps you in your research. -- Bev Howlett FreeCen Co-Ordinator Norfolk 1861,1871,1891 Cambridge 1891 Surrey 1871,1891 Find Out How To Help http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/bevsnorfolkinfo/ http://www.freecen.org.uk

G'day~ There is a George SIRKETT at Pancras Parish, aged 20 with his parents John and Martha and five siblings. Could this be your George? Looking further, there is a George SIRKETT baptised at St Pancras on 9 May 1851, son of John and Martha Downes SIRKET. However, note that George was born on 30 Jan 1841. I also found John's first family, Mary FORTH m.1826 d.1839 prior to his marriage to Martha LANGFORD in 1845. I assume you have these details. Hope this helps.

It may be you will never find your family if they lived in the Islington area. The 1861 census is not complete, and Islington is particularly affected unfortunately with whole streets absent.
