Tasmanian Look Ups Please - Mark 2

[Webby]

Hi Bob
With regard to the Tasmanian Colonial Database.....which I might add is a bug bear with me!.   That data base has an ancestor of mine being married in the northern part of the state to someone totally unfamiliar with unfamiliar children!!!.

Some of the info held on this site is most certainly incorrect.  The data base is not from the AOT but the staff are trying to fix this up with at least the correct information.  Names and dates are 'cobbled' together....so it you have any doubts whatsoever - disregard the info supplied.

I would hate to think how many people have been on a wild goose chase with the info supplied.  I've asked at the AOT with regard to this data base and they have said that there is a disclaimer.  Now who really reads that, and besides being on the official site....most people would assume that it is from the AOT.

Hi Webby

Thanks for your input re the Tasmanian Colonial Database.  You are just confirming what I knew/suspected but we sometimes don't want to believe it and get carried away with the excitement!!

Cheers

Just a note about Ann Wright who married Richard Warren, she was not the daughter of John Wright and Susannah Durant.  Ann married Robert Johnson in Hobart 3 Jan 1848, and died as Ann Johnson on 30 Jan 1848 from lung problems.  Her brother-in-law was the informant on the death certificate and she is buried in the Queensborough Cemetery along with her mother and other family members.
Kind Regards
Andrea
