More on Hiding in Tasmania

Thanks, Ranolki. Is he under 'single male'? I can't read the headline.

I can see many discrepancies. Mrs. Savell and infant 33 and 3 in the London manifest and 26 and 2 in the Melbourne manifest.

Mr. G. Trudgeon 43 (Melbourne), Gilbert Wilfred Trudgeon 26 (London).

Could this be 'Rosina Zeamond'? Can someone with access to BNA check the article?

Yes his age is shown in the column showing he was an unaccompanied male adult.

That's an interesting find about the court case.  The 1921 census was 19 June 1921 and their address was definitely 104 Church Road, Bradmore. There are no Electoral Roll entries for that area for any year on Ancestry though. I don't have access to BNA but here's hoping someone else does!

I think it's her

By class I think. The column heading is 3rd class.

Looks like her surname in article is > STEVENTON >  ... there is a hyphen after letter "n" ... and "ton" is on the following line.

Article ends in stating that she had a previous conviction for a similar offence :

As you of course know, in 1911 William I'ANSON  lived at 60 Arundel Rd Walsall with housekeeper Rosina ZEAMOND and I did have a quiet smile when I read this advertisement he placed.

  Saturday 03 June 1911
Newspaper: Walsall Observer

Selling a pleasure trap from 60 Arundel.
 
... Pleasure Trap, Werner wheels, lather fibber tyies, good condition ; no reasonsbk ester refuiied.—Apply, W. 1. Anson, 60, Arundel Street, Walsall.......

A little carriage of some sort no doubt

I think it's her 

I think you're right       ... good work PatLac.   

Whilst I was looking for her, possibly in 1939, something else cropped up in a newspaper report. 

"Staffordshire Sentinel" - 26 July 1924
Headlines read >

"Woman's Theft From Hanley Shops" 
     " Described as a Professional Shoplifter"
           " Three Months' Imprisonment"
    ___________________________________

Just briefly ('cos I need to re-read article) >

At Hanley Police Court :

Rosina  STEVENTON ... of 104 Church Street, Bradmore. Wolverhampton

*  stated she was a single woman - aged about 40 years  (bc 1884)

*  she pleaded for leniency ... said for many years she had been housekeeper to a gentleman.
* * Edited to add >
*  The police had searched her home in Bradmore (on 24 July) and also found additonal property taken from other stores. 
*  She stated that she wanted the (stolen) property to be returned ... "was awfully sorry" ... "and that she would see that she didn't get into trouble again."   * *

Charged on a number of counts for stealing ...   20 or so, hanks of silk / 14 yards of silk / shoes / 4 remnant pieces of silk / a bedspread  ... (and a good deal more.)
----------------

The above ^ is a later charge (1924), but at her sentencing in 1920 report said she had  "a previous conviction" (or at least an earlier charge against her).

     ~   Lu

Edited to add:   Further Court appearance (at London) 1930 -- in following post.

Rosina  /  Rose  STEVENTON   >

Should have mentioned that upon hearing the decision of the Court (1924 - 3 months jail), the woman (Rosina) fainted and had to be carried from the Court by policemen.   
                            _____________ / /  ________________

That made me remember yet another later case ... Rose STEVENTON (something of a "drama queen" perhaps ?? ).

"Evening Despatch"  (Birmingham)  -- 24 April 1930

  Headlines >  "Birmingham Woman In Scene"  /  "Found to Be Insane After Collapse"
/  Court Incident :

" A painful scene was created at Marlborough-street Court, London, today by Rose STEVENTON, shop assistant of 152 High Street, Bordesley, Birmingham   ... "

( abbreviated ) >
- charged with stealing and receiving from a Piccadilly store .. 2 hats / gloves, a coat and a handbag.

-  When store's house detective began her evidence, Steventon collapsed in the dock and began to cry out.

-  Later seen by a doctor, who considered her, (Rose), to be insane.

-   The Magistrate discharged her.

She was then to be sent to an institution in Fulham.
