The Lighter Side / Re: old sayings
« on: Friday 06 September 13 07:38 BST (UK)  »
My old Dad used to say
 "If I had one white tooth I 'd have a snooker set"
"You got head like a boarding house cup of tea... Big & weak"
"You are messing around like  a black gin at a christening" (Out of vouge now tho!)
"All that meat & no veggies" when he saw a large woman
"Like  a blue assed fly in at a pie shop"

Love this thread, so many of these sayings will be back out there!

Hi again Dale
the other problem with my Mary is that she was known as Mary Boyle, Mary O'Boyle and Marion Boyle on the marriage certificate. The family history we have all suggest it was Mary O'Boyle.
If she came out with an Aunt or Uncle, it is likely she was recorded as Mrs ?? accompanied by one child..

Hi Dale,
Got the obit, found the headstone, family bible gives no clues. Agree with the spelling issue, and have a bit of a giggle to think that nobody could spell in the 1800's and now the kids are right back there.
There is 1 Mary Boyle, arrived in 1850 that fits my needs, birth date about right, RC, could read & write. I will narrow my search in that direction & see where I end up.
Thanks for the tips!

Hi, thanks for te reply.
Yes, see those pages, the Mary Boyle in 1850 could be mine if she was indeed an orphan alone.
Very hard to know for sure!

Hi,
   Don't know if you have seen this. http://www.irishfaminememorial.org/orphans/
It lists all the orphan girls from Irish workhouses who went to Australia between 1848 and 1850. There are several Mary Boyles among them.

Hi Dale,
The family story was that she came out here aged around 10 with an Aunt or Uncle. She was RC, and the marriage cert has no parents named.
It appears  that your Boyles are not the same mob.
We will see (said the blind man). Thanks for the reply

Hi Dale,
I am seeking a Mary Boyle, born around the 1834 mark. She came to Australia as an orphan, but the story varies. She married a Thomas Matthews & I have their story from there on.
She was RC, and from the life after marriage, it appears that she was pretty well educated.
I have found ship details for a M Boyle, RC and read & write. Who knows?
Glad of any info on any Mary Boyle, O'Boyle or (as she was on the wedding cert Marion Boyle!)

Australia / Re: Joseph Soames (Exiles Ship ) 1847
« on: Tuesday 24 May 11 11:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I have good info on the life of Thomas Matthews, Tony Cocks filled in some blanks before Thomas was sent to Australia on the Joseph Soames 1847.
Don't know if you have been following the thread or not.
I wonder if you have any info on the Henry Matthews, also sent out on the Joseph Soames in 1847, he was also convicted in the Bath court.
Thanks
Phil
