Just a couple or so items I trawled some weeks previous, but managed to file in a folder marked  "Tardis Cuttings" (you reallydon't want to know)

Historic Records of Australia  29/12/1819 George Town-Cimitiere to Archer;
"in reply to your letter dated 27th Instant in which you state that the Magistrates have deprived James McNally of his Crown Servant by name Stephen Carr and that Mr James Hill wishes to take the said Convict off the stores, I have no objection"

HRA 19 Feb 1820 Nominal List of (number of) Crown prisoners in the employ of Officers, Settlers etc as assigned Government Servants Port Dalrymple VDL 19 Feb 1820

Tasmanian Colonial Index Compiled by FHC Resouces Group Kiama;-

John McNally 1832-34 Richmond DistrictTrials -Accused P148 ML323 Reel P3-9 Ref CY 11
McNally VDL 1827-28 Superior Court Orders Reel P3-11 Ref CY 2142 Sec ML 176-24 frames 358,364, 377

Also, I have checked Lists A1 and A2 pages 281-327 of Portia Robinson "The Women of Botany Bay" for 29 convict women called Catherine  tried after 1803 and arrived Sydney before 1812 and cross checked against 1806/1811/1814 musters and nobody  seems to be a possible fit for our girl in Hobart in 1819-1821

JM,
Re Post 50- brilliant-  how did I miss that!- a Catherine Rook marrying a John McAllay in Hampshire in 1786- of course there isn't the perfect following record in the IGI, but we shall trawl ,looking for Catherine Mc(N)allay born 1789 dau of Catherine Rook and John Mc(N)allay. then the game would  become interesting.

Me either- I get the bit between my teeth, search and scribble, go off on wild goose chases, and never find time to logically summarise, codify and edit all the stuff- my worst failing is not to file the negative information, so in 5 years time I'm sure i've looked into that, but will have to check!

Thanks for Ann- if she is another one then the logic of the naming pattern is that she is Williams mother, wife of James- to keep on stretching the construct-will search

David

Yes, Sally,

Henry was son of Gilbert and Isabella- I am a direct descendant from Gilbert,  Henry .  Thomas, Thomas, and Walter, David 19

I haven't researched them for some years, so would need to get up to speed from my notes- this post is just to enter the thread

the following is in  the Tasmanian Archives Office "Departures" index

'John MacNally, seaman, 28 January 1818, from Hobart,per" Governor Macquarie", to Port Dalrymple and Port Jackson"

A John, not a James, quite regularly on Governor Macquarie
