Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Asylum Record transcript assistance
« on: Monday 09 September 24 11:04 BST (UK) »
G'day everyone, I am wanting some help to decipher what this asylum record reads. It is for a relative of mine. The record is from Ballarat Asylym Case Books of Female Patients, 1877-1912 Vol 5:
Mary Ann Collier (Nee: Bellingham)
1815–1903
Birth 24 JANUARY, 1815 • St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands
Death 3 MAY, 1903 • Sunbury Asylum, Victoria, Australia
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Family History Beginners Board / Are they the same family? Amor family tree
« on: Friday 01 March 24 22:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi team,
I am trying to find the common connection between the Amors who lived in Walhalla Victoria Australia between the 1870s-1910s and the Amors from South Australia/Wiltshire UK.
Both immigrated from Wiltshire UK, so I am sure there is a common ancestor in the trees somewhere!
Our ancestors (paternal line) follow as below:
> John Amor (Birth 24 AUG 1804 • Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, Death 10 JAN 1886 • Adelaide, South Australia)
> Edward William Amor (Birth 12 DEC. 1852 • Pennortham, South Australia, Death 5 MAR 1942 • At home, 71 Devereaux St, Warracknabeal, Victoria, Australia)
> Edward William "Ted" AMOR (Birth 15 JAN 1882 • Owen, South Australia, Australia, Death 19 AUG 1949 • Warracknabeal, Victoria, Australia)
Here is a link for the list of Walhalla Amors- https://www.walhalla.org.au/news/People/1806A.pdf
Any help or advice to work out how these Amors are connected would be very much appreciated!

England / Re: Which convict is my convict? JAMES HARVEY
« on: Thursday 08 November 18 20:27 GMT (UK) »I have a James Harvey born in Tharston in 1811 but I do not think that he is your convict - he was still in Tharston in 1851. Enclosed is the story so far .....
So close yet so far! Thanks for putting time into the research Nigel

« on: Monday 05 November 18 20:02 GMT (UK) »Hi Nigel,
I didn't realise there was similar villages with similar names in the area (Tharston, Starston, Thuston, Stuston, no wonder people got them mixed up). Haven't heard or researched any of them! I will have to do some more research and see if any have any connections to the Harveys. Thank you for your help and guidance, very much appreciated

Hi Debra,
Thanks for the info and records! Its been a while since this thread has been active and since then I have done a little more research myself which isn't on the thread. Like you mentioned, her surname was James not Jamieson. Her daughter's (Alice Maria) marriage certificate notes her name is Jamieson (but she obviously gave a different name to remove herself from her convict past!).
It's her life before transportation that is the biggest blur, however the names of her siblings and that census record will start hopefully pointing me in the right direction!
Unfortunately she endured an abusive relationship with Harvey (evidenced by the numerous newspaper reports and his convictions, which I will upload if anyone is interested in the read), despite them having 7 children. Overall, she must have been an extremely strong woman. I did find her unmarked grave at the Melbourne General Cemetery and I got a headstone made up for her (which I feel like may be on another thread somewhere).

Hi Nigel,
Great to hear from you on such an old thread! All I know regarding James Harvey's parents (as sited from his death certificate) is that his father was James Harvey (occupation- Draper) and his mother was Mary Harvey (maiden name- unknown, occupation- not known). I am not sure if he had any siblings or not.
At the end of this month, I am heading over to England myself for the first time and I am planning on checking out some of the places that some of my ancestors originated from (such as James Harvey) so any info that is relevant would be very much appreciated!
