Title: Ann Nowland (Nowlan).
Post by: dexter on Tuesday 09 June 15 03:22 BST (UK)

  Hi,
     I am hoping that someone may be able to help with some information about my Great great grandmother Ann Nowland.
    As far as I have found she was born in Cork around 1818-1820,and came to Australia on the  Royal Saxon as a Bounty Immigrant in November 1842.
     The names of her mother and father would be great and any other information would also be appreciated.

             Regards  Dexter.

Who did she go on to marry, do you know when/where she died? Sometimes if you search Trove.au for an obituary it cant tell you more clues about exactly where in Ireland they came from.

I notice she was travelling with two other female domestic servant Nowlands. Who did they marry? I'd dig up their deaths/obituaries too

Nowland ?    28    Domestic Servant    
Nowland Anne    20    Domestic Servant    
Nowland Mary    22    Domestic Servant

How do you know any of them were born in Cork?

Dexter have a look at www.nationalarchives.ie at Tithe Applotment & Griffith Valuation. There are no entries for Nowland surname in Cork. If you search under All Counties you will see the different ones that had the surname recorded. Because Ann left from Cork it doesnt mean she was born there.
Civil Registration began in Ireland in 1864 so you would have to rely on Church records for Baptism, depending also on denomination.  The Roman Catholic Parish records are due to come on line on 8th July from The National Library of Ireland & will be free to search. :)

Hi, Whiteout7 and Ballydw,
     Thank you both for your interest in Ann Nowland. I have since found her name on the Tasmanian Archives listed on the Bounty System for the ship Royal Saxon,where it states that her Native Place was Cork,so that is all I can find so far.

        Regards Dexter.

Try this site in church records a few possible Ann Nowlands come up

https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

She was born in 1822 so search and age range say 1820 - 1824.

The parish records won't help as you have no idea where in Cork she comes from, they won't be searchable by name only by parish, and even if you find some Ann Nowlans how will you know which one is her?
You need to find a marriage or death record to find a place in Cork and / or parents names, even siblings might help.
