Hi Tony,

I think there was uncollected mail waiting for him in Melbourne in Feb 1850

Your Exiles "Pending Tray" must be growing higher and higher

Hi Tony,

Would you like a search for a Henry HADDOCK?  There's a 74 year old chap mentioned in this cutting

Haddock would be a possible translation if seeking to alter his surname.

I think the Tassy link may relate to the fact that the ship "Marion" on which he was transported actually stopped at Hobart en route to Port Phillip.

Hello JM,

Sadly I had unearthed the TROVE reference in my fossicking to the usual expletives of frustration!!!   You always want to know the contents and the "Sender" of these Dead Letters because they are stonewall sources.

However...........................I have never been very keen on HADDOCK, except when it is smoked, simmered gently in milk and then eaten with slices of fresh farmhouse bread and unsalted butter!!!   But thank you for the offer anyway.......I think the link may be too difficult to establish.

Take care

Tony

refers to a birth in NSW mothers maiden name was Puddlick quite a close variation for Dudlick but you have most likely already found this and ruled it out.

Thanks Robyn,

Had a wander through TROVE.....I think the name was PUDDICK under the Birth's column you referred to.......and then tried PUDDLICK, but nothing sadly.   The interesting reference was JM's find under the "Dead Letters" advertisement, which at least confirms he knew he was going to Melbourne, where he worked for a William Hall of Williamstown for the first 3 months.  Maybe the goldfields were the black hole he vanished into.

I think Mr. DUDLICK's destination is inevitably the Pending Tray.

Take care,

Tony

Could it be possible he died young? Have you tried death records?

Good thoughts !

May I speculate this could be a death associated with perhaps a son for Henry?


Wm Hy DIDLOCK, death at North Richmond, Victoria at age 85, in 1947  (b c 1862).  Mother recorded as Hannah RALPH.  # 7101
