Hi,
I am tracing family members who are descended from John Batten and Emme F.
G. C. Malhomme who were both transported to Tasmania in the early 1800's.

Hi Andy;
This is spooky!!
Did you see my posting to the list today regarding the same COPPINGs. My
wife is descended from Edward COPPING and I have quite a lot of data on this
family. How can I help. Would be happy to exchange info. Are you related?
Best regards
Len Heyward

Hi everybody,
I have lost a William DODSWORTH - and although I expect to find no link with
Tasmania, nor convicts, it has been suggested that I don't dismiss the idea.
The only documentary evidence I have of his existance after much research -
covers a short-time-span of 7 years in NZ in the 1890s - probably by then a
man in his early to mid forties.
Could someone be so kind as to check the Convicts CD for me please?

Hi all
Im trying to find further information about a James Knapsey. The list of
Tasmania convicts states he was on the ship London and his convict number
was 12354. I am trying to establish where he came from, when he got here and
where he went. If anyone could look him up on the TAS convicts CD I would
greatly appreciate it.
Also are convict numbers on chronological order? Would it be fair to assume
that with 12354 as a convict number he arrived shortly after someone with a
number of say 11786 and short
Hi guys and guyesses,
I would like to know if my convict's partners in crime accompanied him
to Tasmania.
I would appreciate if s.k.s. could check the convict CD for
James KNEE, John BUNKSWORTH, Henry JONES, and John RAWLINGS.
I'd like to know what ship they were on if found please.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Would love to make contact with others who are researching the above couple.
Both were convicts and spent their lives in Tasmania and had many
descendants who may still be living there.

Your local Family history centre or library will have the fische for the Tas
convicts a check there will give you enough information to contact the tas
archives and order this convict records if he was a convict. Chec BDMs if
he was a descendant.

Hi List,
I am becoming a desperate woman. I have looked everywhere for a SYKES James born around 1822. Cannot find where. Parents Unknown. Somehow he arived in Australia, cannot find when. Or he may have been born here. I have a copy of death certificate, but no parents are given. So I thought if someone may be able to help me with a lookup to see if he came out as convict. He married ROFFEY Jane in 1860 Hobart and died 1894 Tasmania. He was my G/Grandfather. Any Help would be greatly
Julie,
The only two Tasmanian convicts with the surname Dodsworth were Thomas
(Isabella, 1833) and Charles (Gilmore 1, 1831).
Good luck with your search,
Cathie

Dear Judith,
Here are some details for: Harriet Wisden
Convict Number 85235
Surname Wisden
Given Name(s) Harriet
Ship Name Emma Eugenia (2)
Departure Port London
Departure Date 30/11/1843
A Robert Ives was seemingly born in Co. Suffolk (I've been led on a Norfolk
trial but that has been knocked on the head and now the other option is
Suffolk).
He married ???? an Ann Cowley or Ann Hoy either in Tasmania or N.S.W. -
both states are used but no records to be found in 1852. They had a son
named Robert Alfred born in 1853 in N.S.W. and another son James Joseph born
in 1855 in Launceston, Tasmania.
The family arrived in Victoria between 1855 and 1858 when the remainder of

Hi Sue,
My name is Judith Hollier and I would love some info. on convict
ancestors. Your offer is very generous. I've missed your recent Archives
visit but if you go again could you do a check for me? My ancestor is Henry
Sheppard Ransom(e) who married Harriet Wisden at Norfolk Island 1849. I've
been told they were convicts but can't access any details from Melbourne.
His birth - 1825 England & hers was 1829 Brighton England. They settled at
Esperance, now Dover. I'd be most grateful for any help and ha

The fourth Saturday each month, Hobart archives are open until 4pm and I
will be visiting there this Saturday. What I have done for other listers is:
1. Look up the convict's conduct record and photocopy that ($1.10)
2. Look up other records for the convict as noted on the Tasmanian Convict
CDROM.
3. Write this information on the photocopy with references noted.
4. E-mail just noted information or snail mail photocopy.
Anyone wanting this done on Saturday will need to give me details of wha
Hi List
Could some one who has access to the Tasmanian convicts CD please look
up and see if a Charles Ledgerwood (Legerwood) is listed. He is from
Hammersmith, Middlesex, U.K. and was probably transported on the Royal
George (2) or Southworth (2), both arriving in VDL in 1830. I have
evidence he was in the Port Phillip district in 1838 (booked for being a
drunk free person, fined 5s), so if he was a convict he was probably
transported for 7 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
regards Jeff A

Hello List
Could somebody please tell me where the illegitimate female child of a
convict woman, born in 1814, would be cared for and at what age they
would she be expected to leave that care? Was there an Orphanage or
something similar in VDL at this time? Or was the mother allowed to look
after the baby herself? The child's name was Mary Dobson and she moved
to Port Phillip in 1836. I am trying to trace any early information on
her and who her mother was.
