Hi Joanne,

Seems we are all in the same boat regarding Charles Rootey's "English"  heritage.  Little to be found, would love more information just like you.

Charles is my GG Grandfather down through his son Peter Rootsey and Louisa Martin and their daughter Madeleine Rootsey.

Cheers Ken.

Hi,
Re Charles Edgar Rootsey,
I have Charles Rootsey in my family tree, who had a property or " Run" as they were then called.   Mt. Pleasant being 5000 acres carrying  600 cattle as at (Government Gazette No. 112, published on 30th September, 1848) -  Name of run. Mount Pleasant Estimated area, five thousand acres, Estimated grazing capabilities, six hundred cattle. Bounded on the south by Thompson's run, commencing at the Forest range, north-east of Pipeclay Creek, following the Bobundra Creek three miles on the north side of the Woolway Road ; on the east by the road to Woolway, one mile to a cattle track fronting Mr Boyd's Hill station hut, and continue the track, to the Rocky Creek , thence by the Creek to a little lake ; on the north by a line one mile to the top of woolway range, continue along the range to some scattered gum trees , and on the west by a line from the said trees between Boyds lower station to the top of the Forest range ; east from Pipeclay creek following the range. its junction with the Bobundera Creek

He is not related to Charles Edward Rootsey to the best of my knowledge, I would be pleased to discuss my Charles Rootsey, Charles was sentenced in London (Middlesex)  on 21st Feb,1828 for Deportation for 14 years.   He travelled on the vessel "Albion" arriving November 1st 1828 in Australia.

Regard to All here

Hello again, 
Nice to see someone replying here.

I'm aware that Darlene seems to be no longer interested,  I have been in contact with her, all the old email addresses are dead ends.

As to Allan's post most recently, If you have anything on Charles Rootsey (born abt 1810 London, sentenced to 14 years in Australia), I'd like to know anything about him or his family in England.

I'm unsure about your Charles Edgar Rootsey,  Happy to help where if I can.  I have information about our Charles and his family in Australia but nothing in the old dart.

Cheers,
Ken
