NO, definitely not out-running the bump!!

No bumps for that couple! More likely wanting to get hands on the money quickly - Fred that is! Only 11 months since Thomas died - even though he and Catharine weren't married, they'd been together for a nymber of years as an apparently harmonious couple.

It is odd about the lack of detail in the records isn't it? Did you look at the site which tells you all about record details - I guess you've been there many times before - I have to revisit every time I want to check what I am likely to find!

Will put a post on Irish board as you suggest - no harm and you never know your luck!

Hi Wiggy,

Sorry I wasn't here when you last posted.

Thrilled to bits though, so

Keep Searching.

Just to add to the confusion,

The surname MCNALLY -here's some examples of variations of that surname found in NSW early records (1788-1825):

McAnelly
McAnnally
McAnnella
McAnnelly
McAnulty
McNally
McNalty

Hi Robyn,

Do you think the birth entry is for parents John and Catherine and son John?? Is that your reading of the combination? - very interesting - could be on to something there!!

Keep it up JM - seen your posts in Ireland as well! Thanks for the extra push!

Thanks for the help both of you!

JM,

Re reply 167 - have just re-read what you wrote - I was under the impression I was reading original church register - but maybe it was a transcript - it was in a book with other marriages on the same page - and looked original - but now I am wondering if it was a handwritten transcription. Certainly it was only a quarter of A4 size paper ( - or thereabouts) - not one or two pages as now. I have my grandmothers marriage certificate from Launceston in 1907 - and that was a much bigger affair - so - I will just have to return to Tassie and look again. I was under the impression that the church registers form that time ago were now held at the Library - which is why I took it for an original document.

Hmmmmm. $:-\$

Wiggy on the merry-go-round!

Robyn - reckon you might be going to take the prize! Terrific research!

This could be the family who was taken to Launceston with the Cummings family - about reply no 136 - I think. We thought about them but couldn't be sure the wife was named Catherine. What you have found may possibly be the clincher to one of the questions.

Wiggy..

Just thinking out side the square and doing what you were planing on doing but also duplicating others work too unfortunately.

But while I didn't look past 1820, JM had found this:

and an 1822 death for a John McNalley, aged 32

.

does tie in with Dave's find

Quote

MR. CUMMINGS, of Port Dalrymple, gives
Notice of his intention to return to that Set-
tlement by the Brothers, Colonial Vessel ; and of
his intention also to take down with him (under a
yearly engagement) John McNally and Wife. SG 6/1/1816

Still lots of work to do here.

good hunting all

Robyn
