A few years ago I lived in South Cessnock for about two years. I was aware from my talks with various locals that there was a cemetery there. I think that some of them might have occasionally visited it, I travelled out there for recreation but had no interest in an old cemetery. I normally finished my days out by going to the Ellalong Pub.

Another place not far away toward the coast is O'Donnelltown, it is a ghost town with just remains of old foundations and it think it has an old cemetery as well. Does anybody know anything about that place as I am an O'Donnell and have a cousin who lives near there.

Australia / Re: Convict Offence C R

CR would definitely stand for capital respite, in so many shipments of convicts the majority were were those under a hanging sentence that was commuted to life.

I have a many times great grandfather who  came out on the Third Fleet as a boy in chains. By the time he had entered his teens he had escaped Sydney and was heading south and eventually ended up in southwestern Victoria.

I have tried to find him in convict records but he used at least 2 names, Lawrence Murphy and Edward Pearson. (most likely both false)

In 1868 he was charged with stealing a sheep carcass from a butcher's shop in Collingwood but appears to not have been convicted. If anybody else knows anything about my dodgy ancestor I am very eager to hear about him. He was living in southern Vic. with the Aborigines at William Buckley's time but unlike Buckley avoided recapture and died as an escaped felon.

Peter,
I must have confused Wickipen with Kellerberrin somehow.
Interesting  to learn more about the Harts. I must make some further entries in my family tree. I was aware of Isabella Levy but now have more details. There were some British naval officers among my mother's Walwyn-Shepheard forebears.
         Regards
                       Rod

Henri John Hart, the  son of John  Hart was born in New York. His daughter Elvina,
born in  New York in 1822 migrated to Australia where she married Moses Rintel,
the first  Reverend of the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation in 1849. She is my
great great grandmother. Moses was born in Edinburgh Scotland in 1823, the son
of Meir/Meyer Rintel the reverend of the Edinburgh Congregation. I am told that they
came from Bremen in Germany. If  anyone researching the American Harts is
interested in this or if anyone can make a connection between the Scottish and
American Rintels i would like to hear from them. I might have much to tell them.

                                                                                                        PWH
Elvina Hart and Moses Rintel were my great great grandparents. I was told that Myer Rintel had Polish origins. I am interested in finding out more about my paternal grandmother's family.
