Hi MC and appologies in the delay replying but have been off line for a while
Your trip to Tasmania has made me want to go for myself more than ever!!
Thankyou for the details re the mailing list ;D
Poor Mary having to leave her children behind...what became of them I wonder?
It all goes to prove that we have no idea how hard life must have been.Some of the convicts were either so young or so old when they were deported...it is a wonder any of them survived the voyage.

HELLO  THERE

no  link  to  add  but  the following  information  may  be usefull


what  is  on  Tasmanian  Records
Early Registrations 1803 - 1839

Prior to 1839 there was no official registration of births, deaths and marriages.  Between 1803 and 1839, the only records are Church Registers, many of which are kept at the Registry Office.

Later in the 1890's some records show where the person died.  From 1897 the birth place of the deceased is included.  By 1908 the name of spouse (or parents if single) is included.  In 1914 age at marriage and issue of the marriage is included.

In 1896 the date and place of the parents' marriage were added.

Just a note

I have become very wary of RootsWeb mailing lists - use a free internet addres if you join one - mine was swamped - like 50-100 per day - with spam after I joined one. I also didn't get much useful information - many emails, mainly about pre 1500 stories that could never be verified.

On the other side - if you get a chance to visit Tas - it is so worthwhile - also relatively small so easy to get around. History is so well looked after - unlike some other states! The archives and library are almost next door to each other in Hobart & wonderful help from both places

Hi
I'd just like to say a big thanks to those who have posted information on this list.
I first started reseaching my convict ancestors (William Gray on Katherine Stewart Forbes & Louisa Ellis on Angelina) 15 years ago but have only just started up again. In just an hour or so using the online sources suggested by this list I've added another 2 children to my convict family and I've also found both parents as paupers the Cornelian Bay Cemetery.  I'd had no idea that they had stayed on in Tasmania, family sources had suggested that they may have been living in Melbourne.
Thanks again
Sue
