Martin Bohen - convict to Australia

[acookey]

Hi Carol

No I have'nt.  I did not know of the convict research kit, as I said I am still learning.  Being in Brisbane, how do I access it?

I have sent for his indent, hoping it might give me something, but all the other stuff I have got from the archives about him has had nothing about his conviction.

Thanks for the tip, and would appreciate you advice as to my next move.

Hi Annette,

The Qld State Library have the kit (called ARK) and so do most Genealogical Societies.  Some of the larger Brisbane City Council librarys also have parts of the kit but not the complete set.  Maybe you could ask for a lookup of the shipping records if you can't get there yourself. 

I will eventually be at the State Library but it could be months before I make it.  I think the Qld State Library will do research for anyone who is not able to get in personally.  Maybe you could give them a ring and ask them.

Thanks Carol,

I will contact them and try to get in myself.  I am going to Rockhampton in the morning to visit my son and granddaughter, so will be away for a while, but should still be able to access all my computer contacts.

Hi Annette,

i read somewhere that he was sent with his half brother Patrick Tobin for stealing a sheep.

I am looking for info on his younger sister's migration - her name was Ellen Bohan, their mother was Mary Lahy/Bohan/Tobin who was sent on the Margaret in 30/5/1837.

Mary Tobin (the sister to Martin Bohan and Patrick Tobin) was sent to Australia on 25/12/1837 on the Charles Forbes.

Ellen Bohan is my GGGrandmother who married John Jackson who arrrived on the Mary Ann II in 1837.

Hello Paul,

Welcome to RootsChat.

I am very sorry to tell you that whilst looking to fix Annette email address I sadly found an obituary for her from 2011 - how very sad.

Regards

Martin Bohen, feloniously killing sheep

[Dundee]

i read somewhere that he was sent with his half brother Patrick Tobin for stealing a sheep.

I am looking for info on his younger sister's migration - her name was Ellen Bohan, their mother was Mary Lahy/Bohan/Tobin who was sent on the Margaret in 30/5/1837.

Mary Tobin (the sister to Martin Bohan and Patrick Tobin) was sent to Australia on 25/12/1837 on the Charles Forbes.

Ellen Bohan is my GGGrandmother who married John Jackson who arrrived on the Mary Ann II in 1837.

The indent for Mary LAHY/BOHORN (ship Margaret 1837) states "....brother Patrick LAHY, a prisoner, in the colony 15 years"

The indent for Mary TOBIN (ship Sir Charles Forbes) states "....mother Mary BAHAN, and 2 brothers Patrick TOBIN and Martin BAHAN, arrived prisoners about 12 months ago".

Ellen was about 12 years old in 1837 and it is quite likely that she came with her mother on the Margaret, especially if the parish would have to be responsible for her care.

Ellen BOWEN said she arrived on the Margaret in 1837 when she was tried and confined at Darlinghurst, and then discharged on 9 Feb 1843.  Her crime is not recorded.
