Hi everyone..Thanks for all your help, I am listing what I,we Know..
Robert (abt 56) and Ann (36) married at "The Manse Of St.John Church of Scotland) in Tasmania 1866 His occupation-Farmer
Ann and family are from Tyrone.Ireland..Came out in 1854 as Immagrants
Anns sister Matilda was one witness ..all signed the registrar no "X"
Robert put his name with Matilda for 100 acres paying 58 pounds.... 1867
Address listed as "Summerlea" which is Longley area Sth of Hobart
Robert and Ann had three children, John Robert 1867
Ann Christie 1868 died at 4 years
David 1870
Robert died 1880 in his 71st year, residence Huon Rd,Longley-Pensioner- Native of Forfarshire -Scots papers please copy
Andrew Crawford (anns Dad) died 1877 - Huon Rd,Longley
Elizabeth-Anns mother died 1882 at Anns house-Huon Rd Longley
Ann died 1908 in her 78th year at he house-Huon Rd,Longley
When Matilda died, in her will she left to her family monies etc some minor land , another son was left 100 acres.
So from Say 1809-1810 till 1866 is what i"m searching
There was another mitchell on board the "Gilmore" his name was William
There were a couple of more Robert Mitchells later in 1846 in which one died about 1852 and the other was stuck on Norfolk Island
There was another who popped up in Tasmania but lived in Oatlands area well north of Hobart and died in the area
So if a convict, as we may thinking he was a Groom etc played up, tried in Perth,Scotland 1831. Age 23 years Shipped out on the "Gilmore" arriving 1832. Abt 1838 paroled/released -age abt 30 years
So have 26 years still missing in Tasmania
Or could he have been a dragoon instead say from his late 20's onwards
I found last night a ceremonial photo with a soldier on a horse with a sword dressed in red given to me years ago and they said heres your GG Grandfather but i fobbed it off..
Cheers
