George STANLEY

[pickersj]

Thank you judb, it's nice to know that George may have married & had a family.  I've read the newspaper reports about George & I think if it happened now it  wouldn't even have gone to the magistrates. Thanks again

hi, i am a descendant of George Stanley and Ann Dynan.  I am currently looking for info going back further on George Stanley side his convict record shows his family as being - Father James - Mother Sarah - Brothers James, Adam, John - Sisters Anna, Mary, Sarah, Deborah and Sophia and George being from Bentley (near Doncaster) Yorkshire England. Also currently trying to find how Ann Dynan arrived in tasmania.

Ann and George STANLEY are buried at Deloraine cemetery, and Ann,according to the funeral notice was living at Blackamoor which seems to be near-ish to Deloraine - the funeral notice has allowed 3 hours to move from her residence into Deloraine so it seems quite a trek.
Ann STANLEY, d 21 May, 1913
George STANLEY, d 25 September, 1894, aged 65

Here's the funeral notice for Ann,

George's Will is on-line.  He leaves all to Anne, and his place of residence at the time of the Will (1894) is Pleasant Valley, Tasmania, but he died at Blackamore, according to the probate document.

If you search the link below there are many references to George and some for Ann/e.  Their death entries are there and their marriage entry.

Hi Wonky Donky, It is the George Stanley in my tree, he's my 1st cousin 4x removed. George's father James was the brother of my 3x great grandfather John Stanley. I've got the baptism details for George's family & other bits of info if you need them. I'm so glad George had a family.

hi goldcoastgirl - it would seem we share 4x great grandparents then - my 3x g grandfather george is sarah's brother  im in tasmania where george ended up. Welcome to the family 

[GoldCoastGirl]

That’s so Awesome! Welcome as well - What shall we have for Christmas lunch this year? haha

Mum and I are scrolling and searching, it’s so interesting!

What have you found about your side? Do you know much about George’s history? When did he marry Ann?

Our Lawrence was a school teacher who paid for him, Sarah and 2 children to come over on the dreaded Beejapore in 1853.

Unfortunately on either the voyage or when in quarantine for months when it landed, they lost their 1 year old son named Francis Rockliff.. 😢

We’ve even found that Lawrence Rockliff’s Dad (Sarah’s Husbands Dad) was a Hero of Waterloo! (Also named Lawrence..)

Please keep in touch! Mumma says Hello Family!! x
