Hi everyone - so I too am a relative of Charles Rootsey the convict that was sent to Australia on the Albion.
Has anyone come across his parents yet as that is where I draw a complete blank

Charles is my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather on my mothers side - her maiden name was Rootsey.

Any parentage on Charles or even his wife Bridget Fox would be extremely helpful as I do not have a lot of info there either.

Hi Dawn,

I didn't receive any notification to the posting by Jamison8185.

Where are you from Jamison8185?  Who was your Charles Relative?

Cheers Ken

Hi all
I am also a great, great, great grand daughter of Charles Rootsey and have enjoyed reading your posts. I have information regarding Bridget Fox who was married to Charles Rootsey and her descendants. I would love to know any information regarding Charles family in Middlesex. Reading the Old Bailey accounts of his court case was very interesting and quite amusing. I am Harold Norman Rootsey's grand daughter and I know that he visited his relatives in the Bega area several times ... so hello. I am a teacher and the kids love hearing the first hand tales of real convicts expecially when they are related to their teacher LOL. With the information requested leading to Bridget Rootsey (Fox) there are another 3 Irish convicts and the story is equally fascinating. I hope someone can help me with information regarding Charles Rootsey's English heritage. Many thanks in advance. Joanne

Hi Joanne,

Seems we are all in the same boat regarding Charles Rootey's "English"  heritage.  Little to be found, would love more information just like you.

Charles is my GG Grandfather down through his son Peter Rootsey and Louisa Martin and their daughter Madeleine Rootsey.

Cheers Ken.

Hi All,

To SharonK,

Who is your Samuel Rootsey related, His father is?  and children are?   I don't think he is related to Charles Rootsey who was sent to Australia in 1828?  Interested to know please.

regards,
Ken
