Hi.  Many of my Slingo ancestors from Hampshire had Biblical names:  Samuel, Solomon, Isaac, Emmanuel and Jesse and on the female side Sarah and Vashti.

Hi Jane, Shaun and Pauline.  Thanks for replying to my request for info on Thomas Slingo.  I have posted info on the Communigate site.  It's owned by a distant cousin and anything I discover about the Slingo family I send to him so that he can add it to his website.  I have Jane's marriage certificate to David Cook and she is described as a widow however as stated she could have been telling fibs.  As mentioned the 51 census records her as living with her brother Thomas Javes and his family and also her youngest son Timothy.  Of Thomas Slingo however there is no sign.  I would have thought that his death would have to be recorded somewhere but I checked the BMD under numerous spelling variations and still no luck. 

Thanks again
Jenny

Hi all.  I am desperately still trying to find what happened to my Great x4 grandfather Thomas Slingo after he was granted a Free Pardon in 1846.  He was sentenced to 10 years transportation in 1841 for stealing a ewe however he never left England spending his time on the Leviathan hulk and then The York.  His wife Jane Javes (Jarvis) remarried in 1857 to David Cook at Chertsey, Surrey so I presume he must have died by this time.  The information in the LDS records of a Thomas Slingo married to a Jane Javes (Jarvis) living in Richmond, Melbourne, Australia is incorrect.  This Thomas was born in 1807 in Oxfordshire and was married to a Mary Ann Turner.   My Thomas was born in Crondall, Hampshire in 1799.  I have been unable to find any record of him in the GRO index, in the Hampshire records or in immigration records to America or Australia.  Any other suggestions of where I could look ???   Any info at all would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Jenny

Hi and thanks for replying.   Unfortunately this is not my Thomas.  Thomas b 1807 was born in Oxforshire and was married to Mary Ann Turner.  He came to Australia with her and his children in the 1850s.  Someone has incorrectly recorded that he was married to Jane Jarves (Jarvis).  My Thomas Slingo never left England.  Jane Jarvis remarried in 1857 to David Cook.  Thomas must have died by this time.  I think it is likely that his name has been spelt incorrectly on his death certificate and also the census for 1851.  This is the case for his son Solomon who is recorded under his mothers maiden name of Javes spelt Jerves and Geves on census entries.

Hi diddyee and others who have replied to my post re Thomas Slingo.  Unfortunately the LDS info which shows a Thomas Slingo (wife Jane Javes) living in Richmond is incorrect.  This is an entirely different Thomas.  His wife was Mary Ann Turner.  I have sent a message to the person who posted the above but it remains unchanged unfortunately.

Thanks

Could anyone tell me what happened to a convict who was given a free pardon?  Did they go home or were they sent somewhere else?  My GG grandfather was a convict on the hulk York at Gosport.  He was granted a free pardon in 1846 after serving half his term for stealing a ewe.  He disappears after this.  GRO has been unable to find a death certificate for him in the years between 1846 and 1857. (The latter date is when his wife Jane Javes remarried.)  Any suggestions of where I could look next or any info at all much appreciated.

Does anyone have access to a list of the names of convicts who were transported to Bermuda between 1841 and 1846?   If so could I have a look up for Thomas Slingo.   He was originally from Crondall in Hampshire.

Thanks

Hi Valda.  The information about Winchester was obtained for me by a English genealogist from the full entry in the Session Records and also the Committal Registers and the Calendar of Quarter Sessions.   She doesn't stipulate which Winchester and I wasn't aware there were two.  I can't remember her name but the full report has been posted on the Slingo Website at This is Hampshire.  My distant cousin Graham Slingo is the moderator of this site.   The information on the free pardon comes from a copy by the Joint Copying Project of an original entry which is very detailed.  It lists the date of the pardon as well as Thomas age, offence, where he was convicted (it just states Winchester), his age when he was convicted, (29th June) his sentence, gaoler's report ( he was recorded as unknown),  where he was born (Crookham, Hants),  his visage, that he was married, his height, occupation, that he had a scar on the 2nd finger of his left hand and also on his elbow.  The pardon was granted on the 26th Sept 1846.   About the only thing it doesn't tell me in fact is what happened next.  Graham assumes that he died but I would like to know for certain if there is any way of finding out. 

Cheers
Gwynneth
