Hi Liz
Thank you very much for this (I am just back from having been away on family
business for two weeks, and out of email range).
Where might I find the records of the convicts who came to Norfolk Island on
the Manlius? This a new area for me, and any pointers would be very
welcome.
Best wishes,
Peter

Hi there,
My GG Grandfather was Carlos Ga/Gah/Gar/Garr he was married to Mary Ann Bunyan?? and they had possibly 10 children born Norfolk Island, Sydney and Darwin. I know he was born in the Phillipines and migrated to Norfolk Island in the late 1800's but lived a lot of his life between Norfolk Island and Darwin, Australia. He was a pearl fisherman and I have been told he was a policeman in Manilla before that. Would love to hear from anyone with connections.
Thanks,
Nicole Plowman
There are Garths I think. Could it possibly be that spelling?

No, Carlos does not belong to the Garths. Given the care about names back
then, it looks like it's going to be a tricky one!
Good luck, Nicole.

What a splendid site! Many thanks, Julie.
Can you suggest to a new chum to this list where he might find the convict
record of Thomas FRESHWATER who, according to a note in Robert Hughes' The
Fatal Shore, was hanged on Norfolk Island in 1834 for his part in the mutiny
that year? He is likely to be the same Thomas Freshwater who appears in the
NSW 1828 Census, aged 22, came out on the Prince Regent in 1827, a
shepherd - his master was Rd Rouse, landholder, Bathurst. Thomas would thus
be about 28 when he

Hi Liz,
I think some of the kids were born on Norfolk, but were registered in Qld.
I do know that Carlos lived there for a while on and off between Darwin and
Norfolk as I have copies of letters written about a land dispute which state
he was going back to Norfolk whilst it was being sorted out. This disputed
started in NT in late 1800's - about 1920's after the was. Also his sons
enlistment docs, state that their birth place was Norfolk Island.
Thanks for trying.
Nicole

Hi Listers
I have been told that my ancestor Thomas McHenry listed as Thomas HENRY
arrived aboard the 'Richard Webb' from Dublin in 1842. I believe he was
then sent to either NSW or Tasmania. Could anyone give me some ideas please
on how to track this man down.
Many thanks
