Thanks,

Hi,
    I am looking for further information on David Cossar (Cofsar). I have found the following information:

    Birth : abt 1800 - ?? Scotland/England/Ireland

    Convicted date:  19 May 1823
    Place of Conviction : Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland - Edinburgh Court of Justiciary
    Sentence :  14 years
    Crime - - Can't find any mentions of crime
                I think I saw mention that he was a printer when convicted.

     Vessel:  Countess of Harcourt (3)
     Voyage date:  16 March 1824
     Colony: NSW
     Arrival:  12 July 1824, Sydney Cove, NSW

         
     I also found the following :

      NSW, Australia, Gaol Description and Entrance Books, 1818 - 1930
      Name: David Cossar
      Date of Admission:  8 Nov 1825
      Gaol: Sydney
      Gaol Location : Sydney, NSW
      Record Type: Entrance Book

      Also,
      Australia, Death Index, 1787-1985
      Name: David Cossar
      Death Date: 1831
      Death Place: New South Wales
      Registration Year: 1831
      Registration Place: Sydney, New South Wales

      Any information on David Cossar, where he originally came from i.e. when and where born, his parents or siblings names, his crime, his arrival in NSW and what he was doing as a convict, any gaol time and the circumstances surrounding his death would be greatly appreciated.

      I don't have a subscription to Ancestry or any other records.

Thanks in advance,

Hello charlie07,
                 Would love to find out what information you have on this Elder family. Please contact me.

Kindest regards,

Hi Christine,
        Thanks very much for the information. It gives me a bit more information to continue digging.

         I think this one is correct -
         'Mary Fredericka Hockley 1915 Madras , Christchurch , father Hockley.'   

         A coincidence as my Grandmother Violet's middle name was Frederica (Violet Frederica Hockley) - she was Lionel's brother.

         1. Why would the Ecclesiastical entries have the two records 4 years apart for the 'same' person i.e 1938 and 1942 ?

         2. How do I find out if Mary Hockley and Joseph/Leonard White had any children?

Hi Kay,
       Thanks very much for the info you have found for me.
       I did a few checks in FamilySearch and found the following for a Henry Wilkie Green – whether he is the same person you mentioned above??  The following dates here are conflicting - 

1)   https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK1W-NLTQ
Henry Wilkie Green (trade – joiner), wife Fanny  – Christening of Dau. Ada May Green on 16 October 1889 at St Matthew, Arwick, Lancashhire, England

2)   https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2JF2-YDD
Henry Wilkie Green, Death Oct – Dec 1890, At St George Hanover Square, London, England

3)   https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JMHH-7B9
Henry Wilkie Green (trade – joiner), wife Fanny  – Christening of Dau. Florence Cecilia Green on 03 March 1897 at St Silas, Arwick, Lancashhire, England

4)   https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWBF-Y8Y
 Henry Wilkie Green – 1911 Census in South Manchester  – aged 44 – Birthplace: Manchester Ardwick, Lancashire


Still can’t find any information on George Green (guessing he was born abt. 1830) - I'll chase up on Tetworth and Mary A.  Maybe he remarried after Wilkie Plews died in Scotland in 1887?

Are there any records on the marriage to Wilkie Plews?
