Australia / Pentridge Prison records 1860s

« on: Sunday 15 November 09 10:11 GMT (UK) »

Hello
I am wondering if Pentridge Prison records are available online for the period during the 1860s. In particular I am looking for any records regarding:
Mary Dark: who I believe would have been there for short periods in or around 1865. I know of one date that and that is 12/4/1865 possibly for 8 days.
Her husband, Stephen Dark: Again, around 1865, I know particulary sentenced to gaol for three months with hard labour on 13/7/1865, and also 3 months 12/4/1865.
I can see on the Prov website some series but when I look at them I just can't find the records - what am I doing wrong? The Melbourne papers show them being charged on these dates...
Thankyou!
Caroline

Can someone possibly look at these and advise me where the below lived, who they were with and any other information it contains? I expect they will live in Chiltern I just don't know the address etc....

They are:

William Haslem, Victoria, District: 'Indi' Years: 1903, 1909, 1914
James Martin West (could be Martin James), Victoria, District: 'Indi' Years: 1903, 1909, 1914

Thanks so much!!

Australia / Household Records Melbourne 1880s

« on: Thursday 08 October 09 10:25 BST (UK) »

Hi!
I am trying to find out who was living with William Heslem in Nott Street in Port Melbourne in the mid-late 1880s (he died in 1888). I can't seem to find records for households in Melbourne in the 1880s - can someone help me with advice on where to look? I can only see electoral records from 1901.
Kind Regards

Australia / Convict records in NSW

« on: Sunday 01 March 09 08:21 GMT (UK) »

Hi everyone
It has been a while since I have been on this site!

I am tracing my family tree and have found two potential convict records on ancestry .com that I can't access as I am not a member. Can anyone help me?

They are:
Stephen Dark and Mary Murphy. I saw an application for marriage records. I do know they married in 1835 in Sydney and I have that record but I had no idea they were convicts.

Can anyone assist with me finding out more about them - any convict records
details of ship etc.?

Kindest regards
Caroline

Australia Lookups completed / NSW or QLD BDM lookup?

« on: Friday 08 August 08 03:45 BST (UK) »

Hello

I am wondering if someone who has access to either the NSW or QLD BDM's could see if there are any records of a Stephen Dark and Mary Murphy getting married. It would be before 1840 I would suggest.

I am trying to trace how these two got to Australia. I know they had their first child in Sydney (Henry) in 1834 but the majority of their children in Melbourne in the 1840/1850s. I am having difficulty trying to find where they started out.

Many thanks
Caroline

Hi there!

If anyone has access to electoral records, I would be interested to know what records exist for John Kelly and wife Mary Kelly in the Melbourne Ports District. I can see records on ancestry.com but cannot access them. They had many children, so any records that may include children such as Margaret, Annie, Mary, John may be the right ones.

Thankyou!
Caroline

Hi everyone
I have found on ancestry.com some electoral records which I can't get access to. They are for Hannah Courtney (around 8 records) in Victoria.
I am trying to track Hannah's movements, and who she was living with. There are a number of records there, but I don't know for what years, and where she lived, or then moved. So if anyone has access to them can you tell me the details contained such as year, location, other persons with her and occupations?

I have previously received details of 'hannah eileen' so please ignore any such records.

Thanks!
