I have been trying for 2 years to establish the correct William Hemsley died 1896 at Blayney, had a wife Ann. Both ancestors are my 2 times great grandfather, one of their children Thomas born 1857 was one of six children(Martha1841?-1935, Mary Jane 1842-1889, Joseph 1843-1902,John 1849-1925,Thomas 1857-1925. On William’s wife Ann actual copy of death certificate the informant (son Thomas states his mother’s maiden name as Ann Sinker). When Joseph married Bridget Consodine in 1882 maybe 2nd marriage he states his mother’s name as Ann Sinclair. My conundrum is (and I note there have been many many visits to site ) William is a mystery, was he a convict , was his wife Ann Sinker a convict.Was William born on 4/8/1804 at Sharnford Leicestershire some 34 miles east of Birmingham. I hope someone has some correct answers,please.
