Hi Deb.
Just a quick word. ;) If you put the surname in Capitals it makes it much easier to read. :P


John Joseph DEMMOCKS b 1862 m Isabel ROSIER in 1893 Fingal Tasmania.

John DIMMOCKS b 1833 m Elizabeth MCLAINE 1861 Fingal Tasmania.
Children:
Joseph DIMMOCKS b 1861
James Alexander DEMOX b 1867
William Thomas DIMMOCKS b 1869
Ada Elizabeth DEMOX b 1871
Charles Duncan DEMMOCKS b 1874
Annie Maria DYMMOX b 1878
Mary Jane DIMMOX b 1880
There was a John DIMMOCKS convict transported to Tasmania but if it was him he was only 13 years old.

Australian Convict Transportation Registers show a John DIMMOCKS (I think the same person Alison found) was convicted at Leicester Borough Quarter Sessions, 5 January 1846, sentence 7 years. Voyage date 4 March, 1846 to Van Diemens Land, ship Lady Palmyra.

Pardon was granted after 5 years in the colony and he had held a ticket of leave for 11 months.

Convict muster of 1849 shows his 'position' as:  Depot Campbell Town

England and Wales Criminal Registers show:
JOhn DIMMOCKS, age 17, convicted of larceny, sentence 7 years transportation, at Leicester 1846

On another site is a family tree with mentions of him which include the same name and dates for marriage and children, suggesting his parents may have been John Dimmocks and Rebecca; and IGI has a baptism for a John DIMMOCKS at St Mary de Castro church, Leicester, 13 August 1827, with parents Jhn DIMMOCKS and Rebecca.

Cheers, Judith

Hello  Debsm

I am also reseaching the Demmocks family - my grandad Jim was Arthur's brother.  I am interested to know if you have a documented marriage for John Joseph DEMMOCKS and Maud Margaret HATCH as I haven't been able to find one.  Would also like to know what happened to John Joseph's first wife Isabel but have had no success there either.

Regards, Bronwen
