Hello Silky,
                Have the got the answer to your question?. If not, can you clarify the connection between your convict who arrived in 1834, and juvenile offenders in a reformatory between 1884 and 1896. If you are still looking for your convict, can you give some details about him please?.

Cheers

Hi Silky
I have a couple of books with regard to children in the Queens Orphanage - this book would be in the right time frame.

The other Index's that I have are later unfortunately.  I also have Unamed Irish Boys on convict ships, but again the time frame is a little later.

If you would like me to do a look up for you, just let me know.

Cheers

Sorry, forgot to add that some boys were sent to Point Puer (which is near Port Arthur - not sure as to the time frame).   Perhaps someone on the list may know something more.

Hello Silky,
                I can see that the reformatory list of boys was not relevant but can you tell me how you know that your convict arrived in 1834 if there are no records for him. This might be a point to start from - work backwards from the information that you have. What is his name and do you have an age also?

hi,
 first visit as new member so not sure of way round the site yet, it takes quite abit of getting used to!  Have noted from past replies that Herbert Greaves was your Great Aunts son and that you had correspondance regarding Otho Desse Greaves. I have been tracing my husbands family history, he was brought up by his grandmother born Sarah Isaac who was the younger sister of Rhoda A Isaac who went on to marry Otho and their son was Herbert A Greaves born in 1897. I believe he possibly went on to marry Helena  McCann in 1923.
Does this ring any bells with you? We have had so little information to go on but I did see you had corresponded with Rhonda on the Liverpool Forum and this is where the Tasmania connection comes in.

Hello Whinery.

First I will have to oppoligise to silky for barging in on her thread. Please forgive us silky.    This is a break through for me in my Isaac line in my research. Very very important so please bare with us until Whinery has enough posts so we can PM each other.[you need three post so we can Personal message each other ]
Yes Whinery I have all those details and have the Isaac tree way back to 1520. I would love to be able to correspond with you. Rhoda Alberta Isaac and Sarah Isaac was my grandfathers sisters his name was Herbert Henry Isaac born in 1874 at Toxteth Park Liverpool.
Rhoda Alberta Isaac had six siblings.

George Alfred
Herbert Henry [my grandfather]
Ruth
Sarah Jane
Hannah
John Ernest [died aged one year]

Their parents were Albert and Mary [nee Allen]
Albert was born Badminton Gloucestershire and Mary was born Galway Ireland.
I have many details on this family.
I have many certificates for the Isaac family from England.
Sarah Jane Isaac [one of my brick walls]I have no details on but I think she married a William Donvin? I`m so desperate to find more information on Sarah Jane Isaac.
Ruth died without marrying and is buried with her mother and father in Toxteth Park Cemetery. I have a photo of where the grave is.
My grandfather Herbert Isaac emmigrated to Tasmania in between the years 1891 and 1896. We can`t find any shipping details for him but were told he jumped ship.He died here in 1943 and is buried in the Cornelian Bay Cemetery here in Hobart Tasmania. Herbert my grandfather married Alice Henrietta Snow .There are many Isaac descendants living in Tasmania.

P.S I am the Rhonda from the Liverpool forums
I was named after my G Aunt Rhoda but they added an N.

Please reply so we can correspond Whinery.Just two more post and we can P.M each other.


Regards Johngirl {Rhonda Isaac}

Hi Johngirl,
Many thanks for your reply, it was wonderful to hear from you with all your information and to know that despite all the miles between us here in the UK and you in Tasmania we may have a common link.
Still not too sure of finding my way round this site but so far we seem to have received each others messages. I am not too much of a computer buff and have'nt found it too easy to navigate my way around this website as of yet. No doubt everyone reading this will be laughing to themselves and wondering what planet I am on!
I don't wish to be a kill joy but I am not convinced thoroughly that we are the right track with our family searches, although there are too many names that do match in some areas that I feel there is a connection. My husband John is 78 and his parents were Eleanor Ethel Burton and William Leslie Burton, hence his name John Leslie Whinery Burton. Eleanor Ethel was the daughter of Sarah Isaac who we believe married three times. Sarahs parents are listed as Albert Isaac born in 1842 in Badminton, Gloucester and who was a Joiner and Mary Allen born in Ireland. They were married in Liverpool in 1869. In the 1891 Census they are shown as living in Arthur Street in Liverpool with a son Herbert 16, daughter Rhoda 14 and Ruth 9. Sarah would have been 12 but she had been given a middle name of Ann on her birth certificate. In the 1901 census Rhoda, Sarah's sister is shown as being married with a son age 4 Herbert A Greaves which is the gentleman who we think emigrates to Tasmania, hence the link. Is this fitting into place with you or not? There seems to be alot of details which match however had'nt come across the name George Alfred Isaac at all.
