The Common Room / Re: Searching for Parents of George Randall (born around 1823)

The following should help re EXILES...

In 1851 Victoria (Port Phillip District) separated from New South Wales. Apart from the early attempts at settlement, the only convicts sent directly to Victoria from Britain were about 1,750 convicts known as the 'Exiles'. They arrived between 1844 and 1849. They were also referred to as the 'Pentonvillians' because most of them came from Pentonville Probationary Prison in England.

Hi, Thanks for the response. The info I have on George is that he arrived in Australia in 1847 aboard "The Maitland", as an EXILE, i.e. from Pentonville where he was given a 7 year sentence for larceny. I believe he was 21 at the time and was a Bricklayer by trade but learnt Tailoring in prison. You can contact me                    My connection is through Ann Randall m William Godfrey.

Kind regards,

Hi Cathy,

Charles Janeway is my GGGGGrandfather through his daughter Ellen (m George Randall 1850 in SA). I only have details through Ellen, not other sisters. Charles died 3 March 1888 at Strathalbyn and Harriet 11 Jan 1884 also at Strathalbyn. Does this mean we are related? Happy to provide details of Ellens (extended) family.

Regards,
....Tony
