Family History Beginners Board / Lost at Sea
« on: Friday 11 February 22 19:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, 1st timer.    I am looking for a George Webb Simmons who was lost at sea round March 1871.   He was from St Lawrence Kent, England and he was born in 1826.   He was noted as a captain aboard the vessel "Calliope".   If anyone could suggest a site with records of captains or men lost at sea, that would be helpful.   Thank you

Thank you for that information.    I have not had a chance to follow this up further as help other families do their tree.  I appreciate your input on this.   I did find Margaret Robinson's name on the book at the Female Factory a couple of years ago so I was confident it was her deep down but like always I second guess.
My email is (*) if you want to chat further.  Once again thank you so much.  Kerryn

I have just loaded a copy of John Amey's death certificate.   It does not mention Margaret at all.    Hopefully this weekend being a long weekend I can start doing some research on all the help you have given me.

Thank you Gail,  I have just worked out who is writing the messages, a bit slow picking up on the forum site.   I have searched high and low but to be honest never thought of checking the church records.   I think that my Charlotte who died in Junee in NSW is buried on the Catholic section at Foster.  Will need to go and have a look again.   I know where it is so will not have to search.  She apparently was a lovely lady.

 Oh my.   I cannot believe you found it.  I searched and searched.   Clearly I am useless.   I don't think anyone else has found it either so thank you.   Now you have given me something to work on.  I am over the moon.   Kerryn.    ;) :)

I remember someone saying that she was of bad character as well and so I must have put 2 and 2 together but someone did say that she was in the nursery at some stage.   Could this have been another wild goose chase.  On Charlotte's wedding certificate it states her mother as Margaret Robinson but on her death certificate it states unknown.  Can I added attachments if so I will organise for them to be attached.  Don't worry Just saw the button attachments.  I will get on this tomorrow.   
thanks again.  Cheers

Ok.   I have been tracing my convict John Amey (Jnr) border 1811 He was sentenced on 2nd January, 1838 for highway robbery.  He was transported to VDL on the Lord William Bentinck2 in April 1838 and arrived in Hobart.   His father also known as John Amey was also a convict who was transported to Australia 

John met up with a Margaret Robinson who we believe was also a convict and they had a daughter Charlotte around 1842.  There was no marriage between them found and there is no record of a birth certificate for Charlotte either. 

John received his TOL and travelled to Gippsland and Charlotte followed not long later.   All the trees that I have searched that have my family in it have Margaret Peers and so I followed the same line but nothing seemed to marry up but I have been in contact with a couple of the tree owners and they were sure we had the same Margaret.   

I hope this makes sense.   I have always followed Margaret Robinson who arrived in Hobart in 1832 about the Hydrey.  This is I believe the right Margaret in Hobart but we have the wrong Margaret in England.  Hope this makes sense.
