« on: Saturday 12 December 15 21:25 GMT (UK) »
Firstly thanks for you help, to be honest i did not expect any reply at all. yes Edward was born in Norwich and yes i am 100 % that was our Edward on the Passenger list for Hong Kong, somewhere on the internet i found the connection between my Edward and the Edward on the Montauk.....now i cannot find it, but at the time it was 100%, that is why i am looking Hong Kong / UK....anyway thank you very much for your help ...2 or 3 pairs of eyes are better than one ...in the mean time i will find that info which made the connection.....
Regards Gordon.

Norfolk Lookup Requests / A very very long shot

Hi, I have not been on here now for a couple of years as i became stuck on the whereabouts of a ancestor of mine......but today i read a article stating the obvious.....i will explain....
Edward Holmes convict, transported from Norwich via Portsmouth to Tasmania served his time and got a free ticket, after many years of searching we could not find any trace of him in Tasmania after his release but someone said ...Maybe he did get home.....it did happen sometimes...so if anybody can do a check on the 1851 census countrywide for the following it may close this case once and for all.
The details of occupation, age, and previous which may show on the census as follows...
Edward Holmes age (in 1851) 59, born Norwich,Norfolk Occupation, Weaver,
as mention before he was a convict who just may have made it home as we know he sailed on the Montauk ( in Steerage) from Sidney to Hong Kong Oct 13th - Nov 14th 1848, this is the last we found of him, but a few years later the family in Norwich visited Hull in Yorkshire to see relatives which no one seems to know about......so maybe this is a lead...this is a last ditch attempt to find out once and for all whether he did get home...
Many thanks in advance
Gordon
ps we have all his Conviction / Transportation details etc

My mother was a Meachen..we have traced her line back to Yaxham 1713......my guess is yours come from that way too as i see a familiar name there ( Gymer ), i have loads of stuff so it may take a while to cross ref stuff .

Her name was actually Evaline or Evalina, similar to Salina so maybe spelling issue . Thanks for your quick reply😀

Thanks very much Claire and Keyboard86, seems though the Savages were in the house for a quite a few years, is there any chance you can check the 1851 to see if the family are in the same area....maybe the house was pasted down from Roberts parents...a long shot i know.
thanks again
fred
PS any chance of finding them on the 1891, 1901....and maybe 1911 for Mill Lane, St Clements, Norwich,
we know they were there during these years due to old family chit chat.
James Savage age approx 30yrs and Caroline Savage age approx 32 along with children Mary Anne and May ages unsure but young,
thanks again
