Fife / Dunfermline missing birth registers for Wellwood
« on: Saturday 14 August 21 14:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi, does anyone know what might have happened to the birth register in Dunfermline between 1800 - 1830 (approx)?

Searching on SP for Wellwood between 1800 - 1830 and only 3 results are returned, 2 in 1800 and 1 in 1827. Considering the number of Wellwoods in the town and surrounding area there must have been more children born at this time.

Has anyone else found a strange gap like this?

Australia / William Wellwood - Convict arrived New Years Eve 1830 on the Burrell
« on: Monday 09 August 21 16:32 BST (UK)  »
William Wellwood is a n'er do well cousin 3 times removed, sentenced to 14yrs transportation in 1830.

I'm trying to find out what happened after his time in Australia. He received a ticket of leave passport on 28th April 1847 and apparently disappeared! Can anyone point me in the right direction to try and find out more?

I'm assuming he got a passage from Australia somewhere - there's a William Wellwood in Canada by 1850 that's a possible match but no direct link.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
