Port Phillip "Exile": George KILMISTER

[BAC3]

Hello Donna,

Delighted with your news about John CONNELLY (sometime CONELLY)........thank you.

Certainly he was a Parkhurst Boy ("Exile") and I have a little information for him up until he arrived at Williamstown on 25/01/1848, but nothing from that point onwards.   Am more  than happy to exchange details and I will drop you a Personal Message with my email address to make corresponding easier.

Once again, my thanks.

Hello Donna and Tony
 I see you both have information about John Connelly who arrived in Australia on the Marion in 1848.
I know he was a Parkhurst exile  and I have the birth certificate of his son John Henry but i would dearly love to find out more about him,his parents, early life, prison experiences and his life and death in Australia.  Can you help?

Hello Helen,

Thank you for the message.

Sadly, Donna and I could not absolutely decide that "her" John CONNELLY was the Parkhurst Prison "Exile" so the exercise we started had to be shelved for the time being.   However, it would be interesting to read through the details you have and compare them to the documents I hold but which have not been converted into a narrative.   The difficulty is that you cannot send me a Personal Message with your email address which would make it easier to pass information back and forth.........you need a minimum of 3 posts for the Personal Message system to work.

Nevertheless, I am going to send you Personal Message with my email address on the off chance it may work.   Allow 24 hours or so and if it fails send me 2 separate posts with pieces of information and we should be able to take it from there.

Complicated I'm afraid.........................!!!!

Regards,

Tony
