Armagh / edward short
« on: Monday 28 March 11 04:33 BST (UK)  »
Edward Short ( my 2nd  great grandfather ) appeared before the Spring Assizes in Armagh 1836 charged with burglary.  His uncle was the prosecutor.  A death sentence was recorded commuted to transportation for 7 years. On his Certificate of  Freedom in 1843 his date of birth is 1813 and native place as Armagh.
I would like to find further information about Edward and his family if possible.
Is there anyone who can help me ?
I am new to RootsChat.com and so I hope that I am wording this request in the correct manner.

Many Thanks
Selbourne

Hello Fantley 7,
Just a note to introduce myself. I am a great great grandaughter of Elizabeth's sister Charlotte.
I am keen to find out more about Charlotte's sisters and brother and  share the little information that I have regarding Charlotte if it is of any interest to you.
Hoping to hear from you
Selbourne

Hello again Eilidh,
You will never know how happy you message made me. I found a small clipping about Walter (1 ) in a newspaper  following his death that said he been in America during the Civil War  and had not the slightest idea on how to follow up on that information. So looking forward to hearing from you again.

Hello eilidh,
As you can see I am new to RootsChat and I'm not really computer literate so I am not sure how to do things.
I would love to be able to exchange information with you as I have not really come in contact with anyone interested in the King Family and their decendants.  My family line is from the Walter Stewart Kings, 1826.1853 and 1882 till my grandfather only had two daughters , my mother being the eldest.
I have done some research but I know that there is much more to be done.

On Robert's Police Service History his transfers are
14.01.1885 Maryborough
01.05.1866 Kilkivan
05.01.1887 Gympie
10.6.1888 Maryborough
01.02.1889 Bundaberg
19.04.1897 Wallangarra
09.05 1899 Warwick
08.06.1899 Yangan
28.01.1903 Maryborough
I compared these transfers with the given year of birth and estimated places of birth.
We appear to have much in common Walter Stewart King 1825 was my GGGrandfather .
