Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: HOWELL - St Neots
« on: Thursday 11 April 19 04:01 BST (UK) »Howell line - hoping to get some Help with my Samuel Howell - convict - Born
10th May 1807 Old Meeting House Baptist and Independent High St St Neots father is listed as Howell and mother Honour. I am trying to get more info on his parents e.g. fathers full name and mother's maiden name. Samuel had three recorded convictions and I have obtained copies of these from Bed. Council.
Also St Neots is listed as Huntingdon in some articles and Bedford in others.
My Samuel also spent 2yrs on prison Hulk Retribution before arriving in Australia. Any help would be greatly Appreciated.
Hi,
I am trying to track down the parents (and ancestors) of Sarah, Thomas and James Howell (born 1844, 1846 and 1849 in Maitland, NSW, Australia). Their father was Samuel Howell who died on 6 Aug 1895. Do you know if this is the same Samuel Howell that you were asking about?
Thanks,
Charles

Australia / Re: Illegal immigrant 1838 Ann Collins
« on: Thursday 11 April 19 03:54 BST (UK) »Hi All,
My 2xgreat grandmother Ann Collins came to Oz as an unrecorded person on the convict ship Margaret(1) with her mother Mary Collins (7 years for stealing butter). . I am told the Irish were a lot more forgiving than the English when it came to closing their eyes to the children of women convicts who wished to stay with their mothers. In this case Mary was tried in Dublin and then sent to Cork jail where she was kept until it was time to board the ship. I can only assume that daughter Ann, aged around 10-12 years, accompanied her mother from Dublin to Cork and then stayed in the jail with her before boarding the ship. Does this scenario sound likely? Sounds like a lot of "looking the other way" to me.
