Searching for origins of: MCNALLY, Catharine Christiana

[majm]

But

I still don't know that Mrs Ransom (ie Catharine McNally) was NOT the lady in the article about Matthew Brady...  after all, as I recall, Thomas Ransom was advertising in Hobart papers that at his hotel in Murray Street he had good quality butter for sale and would have supplies for six months... umm, was that a dairy farm he had in 1820.... and I recall noticing he had "country licence" against at least one of those hotel licences in around 1822 ....

Cheers, JM

Ann Cummings (nee Boyton) drowned at Port Dalrymple.

I think I can also clear up the dates on the Tassie site... They refer to an event and tie it in with the family details at the time. The three older Cummings children were all Baptised in 1810 by the Rev Knopwood, so all have that date as the children of Cpt John And Ann Cummings (nee Boyton).

Phillip was christened in 1832, and by that time I think Captain John had remarried an Elizabeth.

Robyn, that would really help things - but not John Snr - He died at 82 in 1825 - Having said that, he was almost exactly contemporary with Thomas who fathered a child in 1820!   Cathy has Philip as son of Ann and John.   There's a mistake somewhere!!

the archives record of the 1832 relationship might be John Jnr's son mightn't it Cathy?

Edit - thanks Cathy - I type too slowly - fall behind!

Umm, that letter...

The Chaplain (Youll) certifies the date of burial as 17 19* July 1820....  he would have needed to consult his own parish register to confirm that date... Umm.... but the rest of the details match up for Cathy's line

Re Catherine WOOD
(on the VDL General Muster, at New Norfolk) and my question of IF SHE WERE CATHARINE MCNALLY....

The NSW Col Sec index shows that a Catherine Wood arrived PJ on the Maria and was trans-shipped onto the Eliza Henrietta for PD on 26 Sept 1818....

And the TAO seem to have her as Catherine WOODS arriving 11 Oct 1818....

Cheers,

JM

Re JM post 171- yes the Brady reference WAS to Catherine McNally , known as Mrs Ransom, but she was NOT the Mrs Ransom of the Royal Oak when Brady was assigned to them in mid 1820- the article was written AFTER his execution in 1826 by which time she WAS Mrs Ramsom of Green Ponds/Cross Marsh/Royal Oak- the same person but her identification in 1826 at Cross Marsh was attached to her activity in 1820 at Hobart.

Bit More,

From the ship's list for the Maria (Maria 1, being its first voyage to NSW with convicts)....

Catherine Woods tried on 22 July 1817, at Manchester, (also 3 others tried same day and place, and on that voyage of the Maria and all four sentenced to 7 years)

I have not found Catherine Woods TAO image, although I have found page 258 of CON40/1/9
but on the Female Factory list I notice she was aged 20 and her police number was 38/55
WOODS, Catherine Maria I / Elizabeth Henrietta (1) 38 / 55 20


Cheers,
