This marriage record gives a place of origin that looks like "Cringer" but I can not locate any such place in a Google Search. Can anyone make a suggestion?
An image of the Marriage entry is attached for John Carroll and Margaret Cushin is attached

Hello
I'm struggling to locate an image of a Catholic church called The Guardian Angels Church (Southport, QLD). The building was replaced in the late 1950s but it is the old church I'm trying to locate. It was a weatherboard building built in 1903.
My grandparents were married there in the 1930s.

Thank you

Hello
I am an Australian researcher whose ancestors include some Tipperary Carrolls who emigrated on the 'Fairlie' in 1838. They were a very young married couple when they left Ireland for the new world; he was Thomas Carroll a labourer aged 20 (born 1818) she was Bridget Gleeson aged 22 (born 1816).

I would like to find out about their families left behind and residences.

On the immigration records I have found, his father was listed as John Carroll but a mother is not named. Bridget's mother was Norah Kearney who seems to have remarried. Her Gleeson father is not named either.
The couple had references for the journey from Patrick Meagher PP (Parish Priest?) and Rev Richard Mauleverer of Ballingarry, Rector of Tipperary.


Any scrap of information or advice will be appreciated.
thank you
Greg
 

Hello Listers
I believe my welsh ancestor was SARAH WILLIAMS who was transported to New South Wales on the Grenada on the 8th Sept. 1826 arriving on 23 Jan. 1827.
She was tried for Larceny (shoplifting) at Liverpool Borough Manchester , but her trial and convict records say she was from DENBIGHSHIRE.

She was aged 22 in the NSW census of 1828. Therefore born about 1806/7.

I have not been able to identify her parents yet and her death date in Australia is also still a mystery. She married SAMUEL OWENS in July 1827 and he pre-deceased her in 1857. After that she is a mystery.
However, if there is any suggestion about parentage it would be helpful to eliminate some other women also called Sarah Owens in the record.

In later life she used the middle name 'Ann'. Any scrap of information is much appreciated.
Regards
Greg

Hello listers. I need help with a problem convict.

Margaret Barney married William Shannon 8 Jan 1848 reg at St Marys. She appears in the 1837 General return of Convicts as 34 years old (ie born approx 1800), assigned to CD Reddell of Sydney, and was transported on the Diana in 1833.

I have looked at the indent and there is no Margaret Barney on it.

So she must have changed her name after leaving the ship and before the 1837 return. I can't find her in the TOLs or Certificates of Freedom.

I am at a bit of a loss.

There are on the Convict Indent of the DIANA  only 9 women with surnames beginning with "B" for Barney , of these only two are called Margaret:

The first one was Margaret Bourke who gained her Certificate of Freedom in 1846
She was 19 years old (b. approx 1814), Catholic, single, native place Deptford, house maid, gulity of picking pockets, convicted Maidstone, (kent Assizes), 30th July 1832, transported for14 years, ..... 5' 1/4 ", complexion ....slightly...., hair dark brown, eyes hazel, HW, BD, HA MB on upper arm, fingers long.

The second was Margaret Baron who does not appear in any convict records of TOLs or Cert. of Freedom.
This women was 33 years old (b. approx 1800), she could read but not write, she was protestant, married with 2 children, native place Lancashire, where she was a house maid laundress, gulity of  stealing flannel, place Salford, 9 July 1832, sentenced to 7 years, she was 5' 3 1/2 ", with a ruddy complexion, Brown hair and brown eyes, she'd lost two front teeth of her upper jaw, had scar over left eyebrow, the nail from right forefinger disfigured from ...illegible.


My Margaret died between 1851(when her daughter Mary Margaret was born) and 1862 when William Shannon remarried, but I am not really sure when. I have ordered a transcript of a possible candidate who died 1861 in Bathurst. They were living near there then, perhaps in Carcoar.

What suggestions do you have for identifying this lady?

Any scrap would be appreciated
Cheers
Greg
