"Exiles" transported to Port Phillip 1845-1849

[Noells]

Hi Tony

I have been following these posts with great interest. Like many others I had no knowledge of these Exiles until now.

I have just received a notice from my local Genealogical Society with a list of lectures etc for November, and amongst them is a talk to be given by a Scott Brown. The details for Scott state, in part, that he is compiling a genealogical data base of convict transportees plus he is researching and writing a history of the Victorian Exiles.

I thought you would be interested to hear of this, as he seems to be carrying out very similar research to yourself.

Hello Noells,

I was "introduced" to Scott Brown, so to speak, about 18 months ago by a lady from the AIGS who had contact with him when he was working at the PROV.  We had an exchange of emails and he sent me some copies of slides of the talks he gave to genealogical groups.   These were very interesting and I imagine anyone attending his talks would find them entertaining.

Thank you for thinking of me.......if you would like to know a little more of the "Exiles" a book I find more than helpful is "Convicts of the Port Phillip District" by Keith M. Clarke.

My regards

Tony

Good Evening Jenn,

Where be or not where be?.......that is the question for Mr Otley or Mr Pollard.   

If he died in 1894 he would have been about 60 years of age and born probably in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.  Sadly, I have no idea who his parents were.   After disembarkation he apparently went to Wellington to work for a Miss Boulton - Molong.......which means that he did not go to Moreton Bay but Sydney.   So why was he reported in the "Moreton Bay Courier" as having been granted a Conditional Pardon.   It is all so confusing, no wonder nobody wants to deal with the convicts from the "Hashemy"!!!!!

Incidentally, did you get all the "movements" for the other boys after disembarkation?

For now

Tony

Hi Jenn

Notley B Pollard's family are from South Aus.  Arrived 1853 so no not Pollard OTLEY. 

Have found Pollard OTLEY on the 1841 Census - Father is William OTLEY.  Pollard was 9 and the family lived in Ixworth Suffolk Ref: HO107/1013/16 Page 7 & 8

Hello Jenn and Genni,

Genni has uncovered the correct Pollard OTLEY, in that Ixworth is a mere 5 miles from Bury St. Edmunds where he was tried at the Quarter Sessions on 13/06/1846 aged 14.

All the details tie together, so what did Miss Boulton of Molong near Wellington, NSW do with him???

Regards

Tony
