Australia / Re: Henry Norman transported to Tasmania 1842
« on: Tuesday 25 March 25 09:57 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for the amazing replies. I put death as 1849? as I couldn't find anything else about Henry. He left a wife Charlottre and 2 children in UK, she remarried. He had a brother, William, who was transported to Bermuda where he died. I wonder if he ever had another family? or when and where he died? I don't know anything about Longford, but modern info shows a nice place to be. I suppose I'd really like to find that he had decendants in Tasmania???regards carolmc

Durham / Re: Jarrow March
« on: Sunday 23 February 25 13:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone, the latest posts just show how good the rootschat community is! Topics still show interest and results.My family claim that our relative joined  the Jarrow March, however there's no record of him. I believe that John Youger Carruthers probably joined the 'Official Marchers' for a part of the time. I found out that there were 200 official marchers and that 18/20 were ill and didn't march. I also think that as the march travelled south,  many men would join the ranks for part or all of the journey south.Incrediable!!

My father b.1920 used to recall how children went to school without shoes and my grandmother wrapped his toys in newspaper at Christmas because they didn't have money for presents. The north east was so poor my family emigrated in 1927.  regards carolmc

Hi just browsing. Has anyone considered that Palmers had a massive factory/works in Jarrow and workers there were responsible for the beginings of the Jarrow March. Maybe just a coinsidence? regards carolmc
