Suffolk / HENRY SMITH 'Convict' - Co. Suffolk
« on: Monday 26 October 15 11:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi, looking for any information possible regarding a convict 'Henry Smith' born about 1799, and believe he was from the Co. Suffolk area. He was tried at Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds Assizes, July 1831 for house breaking. He was sentenced to death - however this was changed to transportation to Australia.
I have the Australia side of information, but nothing is known about his life in England. It's believed that he may have been married in England . . . . but due to not knowing who his parents were, and what actual village he came from, it's been hard to track him in England.
JustMee!

Hi Jenny
I didn't think anyone was adding to the page - sorry I hadn't replied earlier.
Yeah - I knew of the son who went to the US, only that he had gone there. As David (my line) had come to Australia where he settled. Still cannot find anything regarding their parents Alexander and Margaret in Co. Downs, Ireland. They are a mystery. But there is a wealth of history regarding David Dunning's line in Australia. I liked the story about your grandfather going to Australia in search of gold, like many did. J.

Hi
Many thanks for the information - firstly it was Mary Ellen (not Mary Ann, although Mary Ann is very common) - Yeah, all I had on certificates was Crosserlough - no town/village was mention. I am sure she will pop up somewhere in the early records prior to 1843 . . . if only they had her parents name on the death certificate (1882) it could have made it a lot easier too.

Cavan / McGiveny - Co. Cavan
« on: Thursday 13 June 13 07:49 BST (UK) »
Looking for any information - of the McGiveny family in the town of Croserlough -- all we have is
a Mary Ellen McGiveny born around 1821.
We found a family of McGiveny in the town 'Drumolman' - Bernard & Mary McGiveny. . . .but unable to obtain any records for the McGiveny family in the area of Croserlough, Cavan.
It seems that Mary Ellen left Ireland around 1843, could have married a 'Smith' before migrating. When she re-married in 1849 in Australia she was known as Mary Smith, however on the birth records of her children to her 2nd marriage the name 'McGiveny' is present. On her death certificates it doesn't state her parents.
Mary-Ellen McGiveny b. 1821, has prove to be a mystery.
