London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / 1871 England Census - Higginbotham
« on: Thursday 25 July 13 09:07 BST (UK)  »
I require a lookup please. Two child names: Joseph (b. 1859) and William Higginbotham (b. 1861).
Father, Joseph and mother, Elizabeth do appear on 1861 Census records. Elizabeth died or something happened to her. Joseph snr travelled to Australia in the latter 1860's without the 2 boys. I have an indication the 2 boys appeared on the 1971 Census in the Edmonton Union School.

Please would someone do a lookup and see if they can find them. The family was in the Middlesex area.

Thank you

London and Middlesex / WILLIAM TOOLEY - CONVICT
« on: Wednesday 14 November 12 08:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have been researching the above person for a number of years now. I am absolutely stumped.

Please be aware I am fairly familiar with researching on the 'net.  However, I could be mistaken and therefore stand to be corrected.

William appeared in court on 26 Oct 1814 (see Old Bailey). He was convicted for life and transported to Australia.  He was 17 years old at the time which puts his birth at 1797. I have found a fairly close record of a William Tooley baptized on 18 Dec 1796 at St Andrew, Holborn to William and Ann Tooley. This is done by his age at conviction.  I have no real proof whether these are his parents.

I am trying to find his parents. There doesn't appear to be any record of his parents on his convict records here in Australia.  There must be something recorded in England before he was sent to Australia (one would think).

Can anyone assist me by pointing me in some direction to obtain his birth records?
