Montgomeryshire / Morris family
« on: Wednesday 07 November 07 05:32 GMT (UK)  »
My 3x gt grandfather Price/Pryce Morris was supposed to have been born in Llanfair Caereinion, Montgomeryshire about 1780-83. At age 29 he was given a life sentence on 7 Apr 1810 at the Montgomery Assizes for sheep stealing. He was transported aboard the Guildford, leaving London in Aug 1811 and arriving in Australia on 21 Jan 1812. I have quite a bit of information about the family out here - including the restoration of the cottage he built in 1837 at St Albans, but I have recently heard that he was married and had a family in Wales. Can anyone confirm his birth/bap details please and find out the correct nature of his conviction and marital status? I'm happy to help with any info re musters, permission to marry etc on the Aussie side. Thanks in advance for any help, Regards, Robbie

Clare / McNamara - Co. Clare

G'day from Oz
He-e-e-lp!! I'm searching for the birthplace of g-g-grandfather Patrick McNamara b 1820 in Clare. He married Ellen Rogers b. 1825 some time before the birth of their son Michael John in 1849.
In June 1850 Patrick and family with (prob brother) John and family Margaret, Patrick and John emigrated to NSW Australia onboard the 'Bussorah Merchant'. I don't know from which port they departed.
There are so many Patrick and Michael McNamaras in Clare that I have no idea of which town they may have come from.
Would anyone please be able to start me off in Ireland?
Bye for now, Gary n Rob
