Perhaps Thomas HINDS .... and variations in spelling.    :)   A barber  :) at The Rocks ....

Hi JM,

Did just find this before wasnt sure but he was assigned some convicts;  http://www.sydneyaldermen.com.au/alderman/thomas-hyndes/

And matches also with Sydney and the spelling ;)

Cheers

well found, but don't base it solely on the matching spelling.  Standard spelling does not become significant until much later in NSW, with the commencement of secular education in 1870s...

Hi All,

Just found this the second record more than likely the other William Brown .. (Lancs)

BROWN   William       Countess of Harcourt   1828   33/0670   22 Jun 1833   Certificate of Freedom   [4/4316; Reel 991]       

BROWN   William       Countess of Harcourt   1828   33/304       Ticket of Leave   [4/4088; Reel 919]   District: Paterson; Tried: Lancaster QS   

What do you guys think?

Cheers
Akira

I had noted that they married in Scot's Presbyterian Church Sydney. It is odd for someone from Derby. But not so, for someone from Scotland by the name of William BRUCE ::)

Neil :-\

Hi Neil

They were married in St Andrew's Scots church I too thought this was strange, as william George Brown was bapt in St Lawrence a CoE church both in Sydney.

However there were a number of convict marriages performed here from what I've been told.

Cheers
Akira

The WATSON family were Church of Scotland

John, Margaret and children under 18 years

I cannot see an index card for her on FamilySearch but the manifest shows her as 23 (11 January birthdate I think it says)

City of Sydney Assessment Book

1867        77 9 9         59 Dixon Street
William BROWN   (person rated)
Robert WATSON  (owner//landlord)      House £17

Hi Wivenhoe,

I believe this could (potentially) be the Robert Watson http://www.sydneyaldermen.com.au/alderman/robert-watson/ as he is listed as being born in "Fintona, Co. Tyrone, Ireland"

Also links with the death registration found ;)

Cheers
Akira

Hi Debra :)

This is some new information thanks for posting, I never knew they had index cards available on there!

I'm surprised about the religion as I have always been supplied with they were methodists by other researchers.

Where does this information come from and was it transcribed from the original information from the transportation/immigration register?

Cheers
Akira
