Dumfriesshire / Mason 's of Dumfriesshire
« on: Tuesday 06 July 10 06:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
I have been searching for a marriage for William MASON and Margaret CREGG in Dumfriesshire around 1810 - 1815, also the birth of their son Robert, according to his death record (13 Jul 1860) in Australia he was born about 1815. I believe Robert may have been a convict transported to Australia on the "Herione" in 1833, but have been unable to verify the facts so far. Can anyone tell me if more detailed records (like his age, and parents names) were ever kept on convicts records in Glasgow and how I would go about accessing them.
Would be most grateful for any assistance, thank you.
Cheryl

Hello,   
I'm after some help, regarding a convict ancestor, I have information from Queensland State Library stating George GAMBRILLwas convicted in Sandwich Quarter Sessions, Kent and was transported to Australia on the "Recovery" 27 May 1837 where he subsequently died in Van Diemans Land 14 November, 1837.unfortunately it does not tell me the year of his birth, so I have been unable to say that he belongs to me.What I would like to know is can anyone tell me if records exist that would give me more information and how do I go about accessing them.
Thanking you for any help. Cheryl

Armed Forces / South African Light Horse Boer War
« on: Monday 18 August 08 13:09 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone who can do look ups or tell me where to look for service records for the Boer War, my grandfather Henry Langley Cooper born 8th February, 1877 in Surry Hills, Sydney, fought in the South African Light Horse Contingent during the Anglo Boer War. I have checked on Aust. War Memorial and National Archives, the only Henry Cooper that shows up is from Tasmania, whereas my grandfather was from Sydney. I have been told it's possible that his records could be listed on the British Archives, I have emailed them and waiting a reply, not sure if this will have results, and at present am trying to cover all options.
Cheryl.
