Tasmanian BROWNE Family - completed

[chell]

Dear Chatters,

I was wondering if someone could please find the births ( and possible deaths) for the following children. I found this information on the Colonial Tasmanian Family Links database but there are some discrepencies with the information I have so I would like to get the actual birth certificates.

17711  BROWNE MARY AUGUSTA 1842
17710 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              1842 17710      end_of_the_skype_highlighting  BROWNE KATHERINE FRANCES 1843
17709  BROWNE JOSEPH STEERE 1845
17707  BROWNE M 1847  ( I believe this is Marriot)
17708  BROWNE FREDERICK WILLIAM 1847
17706  BROWNE PHILIP JOHN 1850
17705  BROWNE JAMES ERNEST 1852 ( I have him as James Arthur on all other records, including marriage certificate)

The parents are Thomas Browne and Catherine Jemott ( I have made previous postings about the Jemott family)

Also if anyone could help me with shipping records for this family leaving Tasmania in the late 1850's to go to Queensland I would love to find them. Again we are trying to sort out conflicting stories. I am under the belief that the family went to Queensland after the father Thomas Browne died in Canada ( he was a soldier in active duty there) but there is the possibility that this information is not correct and that Thomas Browne actually went to Queensland with the family. Either way the family actually ended up in Queensland around this time.

Please help - I am confused.

Cheers
Michelle

Thank you John girl. I will get the certificates to try and help out with my confusion but it matches what I have.

Thanks for trying on the shipping records too. I am trying as well so hopefully we'll come up with something soon.

Appreciate your help.

Warm Regards

Hi chell
(and possible deaths)

https://www.bdm.qld.gov.au/IndexSearch/DeaIndexQry.m

Search here and you will find the deaths of some sons.  I saw Federick William, 1911 & Philip John 1923

The one you think to be Marriot....

Is indexed Thomas MARRYATT. died 1919

You may find marriages to if that is of interest.

Hi
On this thread where you have sought similar information on the family, you mention that Catherine left Tas. for Qld. with her brother John JEMOTT [E].

http://boards.ancestry.com.au/topics.researchresources.lookups.australia/159/mb.ashx

His death is recorded in Qld.

Presumably you do not have this information, otherwise you would also have the death information for the sons which I have located above.
JOHN's death being from the same searchable website which I have given you  ..Qld bmd...

Thanks for the website address Sue. I will take a look now. I had looked at the queensland site before but had missed the Thomas Marryatt one. I have a feeling that Frederick William named one of his children with the middle name Marryatt ( possibly in honour of his twin brother??)

I guess I was trying to check if the male son ( twin) died in Tasmania as a baby or if I was correct in believing he lived. It was just odd that he was not named in the birth records but his brother was. Also another researcher of this family felt that he had died. My grandmother has newspaper obituaries for Marriot, I am sure, having died as an adult. I will recheck with her.

Thanks again for looking for me. I am going to relook at the Qld BDM now.

Warm Regards
Michelle

Hi,
I am not sure about this, but there will certainly be someone who can clarify it.....BUT, I would expect that twins would have consecutive registration numbers, not identical.  Afterall, they are 2 identities.  I do know that this is the case in the UK system.

It may possibly be simply a duplicate entry.

Well, this Thomas Maryatt is the child of Thomas & Catherine.

1919/C4211.  Browne. Thomas Maryatt.  F. Thomas Browne. M. Catherine Jemotte [sic]

Fantastic!!! Thanks so much for that. He must have been known as Marryatt, rather than Thomas. I will double check on that though to make sure he is the Marriot I believed to be the twin.
