Thanks Leanne,

I keep avoiding that site 'cause I just dont get it!!!  From your link, the records seem to be exactly what I am looking for, so I am just going to have to learn to master it.  Thanks again,  Kind regards,  Caralyn.

Australia / Who holds convict trial records
« on: Thursday 15 October 09 03:03 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone offer some advice on how you obtain the trial records from: "Lancaster - Liverpool Borough - quarter sessions" from 1828.

Numerous searches later and I am just as confused as when I started.  I have all details AFTER transportation for my convict ancestor:  Date, courts, parents, even what tattoos he has but its the actual crime (and hulk if possible) that I need.

On Australia "WDYTYA"  with Sigrid Thornton, it showed her getting records from the same place for approx: the same era.  Has anybody obtained trial records before that could give me a few hints or directions. 
Thankyou,  Regards, Caralyn

Ambly, Leonie & Andy,

Thank you all very much for your time.  Yes he is Frederick William.  I also saw that Mary Parry etc. listed in the LDS and had the same thought but couldnt think where to do some double checking.  I hadnt thought that he could have been born on the way.  Maybe I should be searching his fathers records.  Having some new avenues to check is great.  Thanks. Kind regards, caralyn.

The Common Room / Where should I look?

My ancestors (Australian) marriage cert. has his birthplace as 'Cape of Good Hope' in 1829 and being a seaman. His father Charles an 'innkeeper'.

His surname is Everest and my question is:  Would I be right in assuming 'Everest is an English surname and more likely to have travelled to south africa.   And: if so; where would be the best place to start researching immigration etc.  also, if the name 'everest' is more prevalent in certain places. (i noticed Kent is popular but I know very little about Englands geography).

There are some big 'Everest' families around that crop up everywhere I search, but just cant find mine.   Hoping anyone can give me a bit of direction.  Thankyou kindly, Caralyn

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Irish names - cant read
« on: Friday 18 September 09 12:18 BST (UK)  »
Mare & Jen,

Thank you both very much. I agree, I think I was secretly hoping for a different answer as it would make it easier to find them.  I am relatively new to searching outside Australia and learning new words and places makes it that much more time consuming and confusing. 
I suppose like everything, the harder you work for it, the more you appreciate it,
Thanks for your time.
Regards.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Irish names - cant read *COMPLETED-Thanks*
« on: Friday 18 September 09 05:04 BST (UK)  »
(wedding certificate Margaret 1855 australia) -trying to decipher parents names)
For Honor:  Cant get surname
For Thomas:  Last name seems to be Nelly but throughout the wedding cert. the surname seems to alter (i will show).   Possible problems: remote document states Lally/Nelly and Margarets sons wed.cert. says clearly McNulty (but she had been dead 10 years when he married).   Thomas and Honora daughter states born in Galway Ireland.
Any suggestions? Thanks for looking,  Regards,

Galway / Birth & emmigration: Margaret MC NULTY (NELLY)
« on: Tuesday 15 September 09 15:04 BST (UK)  »
Any info would be appreciated.  I have:

Margaret McNulty Born 1836 (age from wedding cert) born Galway.
Parents:  Thomas McNulty - carpenter
                Honora (glysson/glyeeson)
Curiously her wedding cert. has surname as Nelly but twice it is written with some letters before Nelly and then they are crossed out, but her sons wedding cert. very clearly states McNulty.  Not sure which would be more accurate??

She married Frederick Everest in Australia in 1855, so emmigration would be prior to this. I cant find ship details without correct surname so I am leaning towards finding her birth.
I have her 'Australia' details so my brick wall is Galway.
Thank you, Regards,
