Australia / Re: PRESNELL of Tasmania - origins?
« on: Thursday 09 April 15 05:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I was given this information by another Presnell researcher the family as I have it is children of Thomas and Sarah who died in Tasmania:  William born Chelmsford Kent 1765 died Tas 1839, Sarah b 1767, Mary b 1769, Elizabeth (my ancestor) b 1771,Thomas b 1773 in Sussex, Jenny b 1774, James b 1778 in Essex died in Tasmania 1844, Phillis b 1778, Anne b 1780 in Essex,  Sarah born 1782 in Essex, Joseph b 1784 in Essex died West Hampshire UK 1793, John b 1786 Essex died Tasmania 1831 and Lucy b 1789.

If these are all Thomas and Sarah's children she had the last child aged 47/48 not uncommon. How far Essex is from Sussex and Kent I do not know but they often travelled around from village to village.

Joseph Blundell comes from a long line going back to 1540 at this stage and he and Elizabeth were married in Parish Church Kent on 7.11.1797 and both died in Maidstone. They had six children between 1798 and 1814 all born in Kent. Their son Joseph Jnr. was transported in 1826 for life and was already married so co-habited here in the colony and had eleven children.

So that is why I am intrigued by the posting and information given to me that just  maybe Joseph Jnrs uncle and grandparents were already here in Tasmania when he arrived on the "Marquis of Huntley"

Maybe if I keep digging this might be solved.    Regards, Dulcie

I have read through all the material on the Presnells of Tasmania. My 3xgreat grandfather Joseph Blundell was transported in 1826 and his mother was Elizabeth Presnall/Presnell the daughter of Thomas Presnell and Sarah ? She was born in 1771 in Maidstone Kent and married in 1797 to Joseph Blundell and died in 1845.
If my Elizabeth is the sister of William Presnell (who I believe was also born in Kent) and was transported on the "Barwell" (which I am led to believe is correct) that would mean when my gr.gr.gr.grandfather was transported his uncle was already in the colony and later his grandparents also migrated.
Getting slightly confused so can anyone enlighten me on this subject.

Australia / Re: John HODGES & Mary GILMORE
« on: Saturday 19 November 11 00:08 GMT (UK)  »
My gr.grandmother was Lucy Hodges who was born in Campbell's River near Bathurst, the daughter of John/James Hodges and Mary Gilmore. She married John Herbert Woods in Bathurst and they moved to the Harden district in the late 1800s as he worked on the railway and that is where they are both buried and most of their family were born,including my grandmother, Emily margaret. I have always thought that John Hodges aboard the "Parmelia" was the right link, but Mary Gilmore was a little more elusive, but I have her death cert. with all the appropriate children listed. Why John gave his name as James on two of the birth certs. is a mystery.

Looking forward to hearing from all those descendants out there as this has been a long haul looking for any information on these two people.
