Help with deciphering the last few words (Completed)
« on: Monday 21 March 11 01:39 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon,

I think I have most of this correct but I would like help deciphering the last few words and any corrections to my own attempt. It is the section between the two black lines - the rest is to assist with handwriting comparison. My attempt is:

Wife ______(unknown word) Susan at Brunie Island shes _______(unknown word - damd? perhaps damaged?) / in the "head" 3 Brothers Abm Thos & Richd 3 / Sisters Elizabeth Sarah & _______    _______(2 unknown words) living in / London in the Boro I am freed by servitude / came out to Sydney for 7 Years in the Pitt / in 1815 or 1816 & came to Launceston in / Stg 200 was what I was Transported from England / for

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Andrew

Easy part: the words after Island looks like "she came in the."

I'd say the wife's name was Rosa - possibly spelled Rosar on this document.

And I agree the third sister is Mary Ann.

Hi Andrew

Five others have beaten me to the draw !

I read the first part as -  Rosann Moore - she came on
the ' Nevus ' - 3 brothers after..........

Many thanks everyone.

It is Rose Ann (Dunn is her surname) and she came in the "Neva", one of 15 survivors of a shipwreck out of a total of 224 on board.

Thanks again,

Andrew
