Armed Forces / Re: Army / Military requests ??
« on: Friday 21 June 19 04:36 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me with a query.  John Hogan, was definitely in the 12 Regiment of Foot in Sydney Australia in 1859, as he was married in Sydney.  Believed to be a Drummer with the 12th, Born 1840 Mauritius, father also a soldier John Hogan, born Ireland.
John Junior appears on the 1861 Army Index as Drummer in the 2nd Btn, 2nd Warwickshire with a service number of 769.
There is a 1871 census entry for Private John Hogan with the correct wife and child at Fullwood Barracks, Lancashire.   
I cannot positively identify which regiment or army unit was at those barracks at that time.
I do not know if it is feasible for him to transfer from the 12th foot to the 2n Warwickshire?

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism - Hannah Rebecca HOWARD - Polstead and Greenwood

Hi all

I believe the James Greenwood baptised c.1814 is the same James Greenwood who arrived in Tasmania 1837.   James left behind a wife Anne (Whymark ?) and 3 children in Stoke Nayland, one of whom died in 1837.    He remarried in Australia in 1879 but had no further children. 

If anyone has any more information, I would be very grateful.   In particular, any details of a possible second marriage of this James' father, another James, after the death of Hannah Rebecca Howard.

regards

Hi Janey and others
 Thanks to your help have identified Harriet Dawe married Richard Pi(e)nson and Charlotte Dawe married William Pope.  Both families travelled to South Australia December 1849 on board the Pakenham as free settlers.   The Pinsons had one child with them and the Popes had two, one of whom presumably was Walter Dawe.  The identity of the second child is not yet known.  The Popes had two further children. William (1855-1858) and Henry (1857-). Willliam Pope died in 1857 and Charlotte married again in 1861 Wm Herring.  Charlotte Herring died in 1903.  The Pinsons appear to have had one child Elizabeth (born at sea in 1849).  Both families remained in the Gawler area of South Australia.
Kind regards and many thanks for your help

Thanks very much for this info.  I have looked at both the marriages and have four potential partners for Charlotte and Harriett but I can't locate any of them on the 1851 census.  Am I missing something?  I am hoping that a married name for Charlotte may help me to work our how her son Walter came to Australia. 

Lower Topham is the census address in 1841 for Samuel and the children.  Would Cruwyz Morchard be a logical parish location for baptisms as it appears to be some 4 miles from Lower Topham.

Devon Lookup Requests / DAWE family of Tiverton
« on: Sunday 06 January 13 10:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I am researching the family of Samuel Dawe who appears on the 1841 census  as a Farmer at Tiverton with his children Elizabeth b.c.1815,  Charlotte and Harriett b.abt1820 and Ann b.1826 and also a grandson Walter (son of Charlotte) born abt 1835.  I cannot find any of them after 1841. 
I believe Walter came to Australia but I do not know when or how.

Hi again John

I had a look at the Muster and I think that it might actually say married Charles Buson but I could be wrong.
