Louisa is mentioned in the Australian newspapers. Got to thank Gordon Thursfield for letting me know about the site.

Hi Pat

By coincidence I had just found a document on Ancestry which showed that she was born in Sunderland too - it indicated that sshe was 18 at the time of conviction, which would put her born about 1805/6.

If she was born in Sunderland then the only option for parents would be Thomas T and Mary Scott who were married at Monkwearmouth in 1803, but I only have on child born to them in 1807.  I've hunted everywhere this afternoon looking for her baptism but it just is not there, but she must belong to my side of the family somehow.

Seems she was a bit of a bad'un - convicted twice and a 'notorious run-away' according to the newspaper site you kindly pointed me towards.

I seem to remember your mentioning that she had a young son called Thomas as well, which might support her being Thomas's daughter.  Great if I've got another black sheep!

Cheers

Thanks for that one Pat.

I'm not sure if he would be mine - the 1850 date would mean that he would have to be the child who went across with Louisa, with a made up father's name.

I'll keep it on file for now and see what else  turns up.

Where did you get access to the Australian Censuses?

Cheers

Hi Ashley

Years ago I was in touch with Ian Clarke who sent me the 1828 census for NSW

Census NSW 1828
Thomas Thursfield age 4 Orphan Institute Cabramatta

Richard Wiltshire tailor Castlereagh Street Sydney
Louisa Wiltshire                same address

Marriage 8 March 1826 performed by Rev William Cooper Sydney NSW
Richard Wiltshire age 23 ship Batavia sentence 7 years free
Louisa Thursfield age 19 ship Grenada sentence life bond

Thomas Thursfield/Trusfield is mentioned as a mariner from NSW, will see if I can find details.

best wishes

Hi Pat

A friend of mine in Australia has been looking at this too - it seems that Richard was a successful tailor, who returned alone to the UK in 1836.  She is trying to find out what happened to Louisa before or after he left. 

At the moment there are a number of examples of her absconding, and the most recent record she has found was Louisa being put into jail on Newcastle NSW in 1835 and she was to be forwarded to Sydney for identification.

So if Thomas was hers then she abandonned him before 1828.

Cheers
