G'day
Trying to find out more about a Caroline Scholey who was transported to Tasmania in 1849. She was at the Cascades Female Factor. According to Tasmanian records she married a James Quiet in 1854. Then it comes to a grinding halt. Nothing. Any ideas?
-
Any ideas?
Yep i have a idea ;D
All the transcribed stuff online has Jame's last name as Quiet. I have my doubts as when looking at a copy of the originals it doesnt look like a T at the end of his surname ???
Im attaching 2 small pieces that i looked at.
-
WOW :o I said i was attaching 2 small pieces, they didnt turn out real small tho ::)
-
Looks like Quief
Although I have not heard of that name!

Does look like a f doesnt it.
-
Maybe .uiess (f being ss) The .uief looks the same from the two different sources. Is the first letter a Q?. Don't know..anyone seeing it as anything other than Q?
There is a James TWISS around at the time, but I cannot see the first letter being T.
-
It looks nothing like a Q to me.
I dont think his name is Quiet which is probably why the poster cant find them after the marriage.
-
I found his name again in Caroline's record. He was noted as been drunk and fined on the 24 Oct 1854. Might see if i can find the newspaper article ;D
-
I can understand why some (possibly younger ;D) people may not see the first letter as Q
However, I feel certain that it is Q
The form, which is clearer on the second snip, is one which was used at one time during my time at school and it resembles a large numeral 2

James QUIEF was sentenced at Cork in 1845, arrived 1846, sent to work on probation gang.
He was born 1822, sentenced for 7 yrs for desertion from the 16th Regiment. Admitted 1.11.1845 to Dublin Smithfield Prison.

Wonder if we will be able to prove if Quiet and Quief are the same person ???
Im not finding much at all.
It doesnt help that the name Quief can be spelt a few different ways ::)

Thanks for the assist people. It's taken me the best part of a decade to trace any of the comings and goings of my 2xgreat grandmother's siblings so when I fluked on Caroline [I actually googled another of her sisters Charlotte whose name it seems was tattooed on Caroline's arm] I didn't expect too much. Anyway I've got some more Scholeys to add to the tree as I didn't have some of the siblings identified on her records. Maybe I'll get lucky again in another 10 years.

What about the surname QUAIF/E from England and it is possibly QUAID/E from Ireland.

Found a reference to a James Quaife, as a witness at an inquest, in New Norfolk 1888. Given that Carline got married in New Norfolk he may be the right one or a direct relation. Still chipping away at this one.

Age is a good match to the convict.

The Burial Order for James QUAIFE appears that it's convict James QUIEF:

Thanks. That's helped solve the surname problem but unfortunately I'm still stuck with the Catherine conundrum. Can't seem to find her after the marriage.
