The Ship JOHN 1832 it's voyage and minor passenger info, nothing on Geary/Garay.

Just a little snipet from my long past. I know of a fellow surname GARAY who hails from the MONARO region, now lives in ACT.

Very interesting JM. Why do you think Mr Bowman may have supplied inaccurate information? 

I have to go out shortly so will have to get back to this later, but looking at your first link I notice there was a census taken in 1828. Do you think it would be worth seeing if Edward is included?

Just saw your post Neil. Thanks.

If Mr Bowman had 'no time' for officialdom or perhaps was out of sorts on 31 Dec 1837 or perhaps it was the weather or the whether to/ or whether not to ..... some of my Bowman lot could be quite contrary.

There's also an 1841 census .... Ancestry has a partnership arrangement with NSW State Records.... so 1828 and 1841 images are available.  1841 is not much chop, fragments only.  perhaps Maneroo is in the ones that were not lost.

Cheers,  JM

Thanks JM - I will see if I can find Edward in the censuses. 

Added: no, nothing found I'm afraid.

Something is wrong with my puter or the NSW BDM as when I look up on normal parameters it doesn't come up, but used wildcards and it does

I think there was a brother Alfred, but cant find anything now.....

Can you check JM

So I am thinking Edward Carey, ex the John (3) grew in height during his later youthful years. 

I am still concerned with trying to find this elusive Edward GEARY ex the Westmoreland.  I am wondering if 1832 is a mis-read of 1835.  However, I am not convinced that W Bowman was a reliable scribe on that 1837 muster.

Can we figure out about the former convictions, ..... perhaps some variations in spelling in say a Lancs newspaper from the 1820s  or 1830 or perhaps the trial for housebreaking Jan 1831 ....
