Hi Sarah,
Not sure if I am sending this message to you the correct way.
My apologies for message to Bronny, I didn't know that she was a new member of Roots.  I haven't been on for awhile, so guess I'm not so sure about some of the rules.
Regards,

Hi,
Yes, I have all that information about Jane, her eldest daughter, Sarah m Charles Stewart, they had three children, Frederick married Mary Rachel Hurst (also daughter of a convict) they had eleven children, their youngest daughter, Elizabeth also married a Stewart, brother of Sarah's husband, they also had eleven children, Elizabeth died in childbirth. Jane has stated that she was a widow on her marriage certificate, but also on that Langstone was with an E, so if that was her married name from her first marriage, I guess there is no way I will find her maiden name!  It is the same with John Turner, he was not a convict, but is also a mystery!

Hi Kaye,
That is okay, it was lovely hearing from you, funny you should say you thought you had Royal connections, my mother was a Middleton, so of course I thought we might have been related to Kate Middleton, no such luck!!  I hadn't been on Ancestry for awhile, like you, have been fairly busy, but your email made me think about Jane, I am still not sure if her name ends with an 'e' as that is how the Old Bailey spelt Langstone, I started to look her up again, it is hard when not sure if it is a maiden, or married name!!  If she was already married when sent to Australia, than married John Turner, it doesn't bear thinking about, I guess some of the convicts lied about where they came from, it is not easy to find information, mainly because people years ago had large families and so had enough to do, when I originally found five convicts in my family, none of my relatives believed me, each one of them did so much for this country, as did many others who were sent here,  I can't find anything about the Turners' just that  John Turner was a Tailor and came from Lancashire or Lincolnshire, so I can't get past John, whereas with the Middletons' I have gone back to the 16th Century.

Hi MargP,

Someone researching the Hincheys was looking at passenger lists from 1841, and found the name Catherine Hinchey, but the age difference was too great.

I will send for a copy of her death certificate, but I'm not sure what would appear from 1913.

Thanks again,
Thelly
 

Good evening to you,
Laurence Hickey's parents and siblings never came to Australia, and he never went back to Ireland.

The people here researching the Hickeys/Hincheys don't believe that Catherine was born in 1823, they still say that her parents were Lurran and Mary.

Thanks,
Thelly
