Hi My names Richard Perkins  Charlotte Brindley is my great grandmother.  I have been unable to trace her father or mother.Wonder if Brisgirl has found out any more. Rick

Hi Richard,
                There are 2 ladies in this family name Charlotte - one born in 1833 and one in 1861 but I guess you are looking for the earlier lady who married Thomas Perkins?

Her parents were James Brindley, born about 1788 in Nottingham UK and Mary Ann Searcey born about 1790 in Nottingham.   James arrived in Sydney in 1826, co-incidentally on the same ship, the John Barry, and in the same Regiment of Royal Veterans as the above James Waller.  James Brindley was posted to Tasmania but left there later for Sydney on the Sapphire on 26 February 1846 to seek work in NSW. He arrived in Sydney 7th March with 135 hired servants from Van Dieman's Land to work in NSW.
James died on 25th August 1847 at the Benevolent Asylum.
Hope this helps,
Shadrach

Hi Shadrach,
I am a descendant of Charlotte Hall and have tried to obtain a copy of the Fr Hardiman book without success. I can however print a copy of the relevant pages through the National Library Australia. The problem is I do not know which pages to request. Is there any way you can assist me with this?
Regards Sheri
P>S have you had a look at the Trove website, there is some great stuff on there

If you have a lot of ancestors that require tracking down, consider purchasing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' "Australian Vital Records Index, 1788-1905" CDs for a ridiculously cheap US$9.00 + postage via their website: www.familysearch.org

I tried to purchase this CD several years age and was informed that it wasn't available to Australian residents, has that changed?

Hi denehey 62,

The pages you need are the cover page then from from the beginning of Chapter One to, an including, page 12. 

Yes, I find Trove wonderful
Have you read "The Floating Brothel" about the voyage of the Lady Julianna? 

[denehey62]

Hi
yes, I have a copy of it and watched the ABC show on youtube.
Very interesting stuff. I tracked the family links down via Trove and then double checked it with my cousin as I was unaware that she had gotten this far back.
We come via a daughter of Charlotte, Sarah Rebecca Maginnis who married James Bingham and lived in Forcett.
Their daughter Kate was my great grandmother.

My cousin has also confirmed the connection to the Dodge family.

Cheers Sheri
