Oh, I got the name Ann Levy from working backwards from one of her daughters-Matilda

Hello Neil -
    sorry , your email was lost among some others and I have just seen it. The info I have so far is that maybe Thomas Levy/Leaver etc was in the 48th  Regiment? I think he may have come to Australia on the "Matilda" in 1817(Third Fleet). On the Convict Muster 1806-1849, I found a Bridget Leaves also on the Matilda and it said she was married to someone in the 48th Regiment, but I can`t decipher the name -  I hope I am not going off on a tangent and these aren`t they people I am looking for?

    Bridget was tried but acquitted for the murder of the prostitute Happy Filler in 1822/23 and I think Bridget was a prostitute, too.

 Ann , the daughter was admitted to the Parramatta Orphange in 1826 when her mother died-so I don`t know where the father, Thomas, was.. Ann married John Hurley in 1835 aged 15 and I can follow her from there.

 Maybe I have all the information that I can get- short of doing research in UK-
  thanks-Gail55

Wow....you guys are good!!! Yes, that is the family-after Bridget died, Ann was sent to the orphnage in Parramatta.......I can then follow her to her 3 marriages, dalliances with bushrangers- she was the mother of one....Johnny the_______ I think it is Johnny the Tailor but am not sure-apparently she lived with Jacky Jacky aka Jingera Jack -her daughters were with the Clark Bothers(bushrangers) Ann`s daughter Matilda Kelly (to Thomas Kelly) is our relative.............So, I want to find out about Bridget and Ann`s father Thomas Levy-also spelt a few different ways........thanks for the support! gail55

Hello, I`m new to this site, so am not sure about how to do things.....can anyone explain how to trace convicts in early Australia? I know the above couple had a daughter, Ann and Bridget was tried for murdering a woman at the Rocks in 1823, but acquitted....how do you go past that and find out about Thomas and Bridget`s history-where they were born, were they convicts etc
