Family History Beginners Board / Re: Mary BRACHER - convict - transported to New South Wales - arrived in 1807
« on: Friday 16 February 18 16:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Janey,

Yes that was me. I am so sorry to have lost touch with you, but have had several surgeries last year and not had a healthy 2017. However, I am feeling a bit better for a while so I thought I would dive back into the family history folders, which are a mess as you can imagine, having been abandoned due to illness last year.

I am excited to see and hear if you have found anything for me and can't believe you took a photo for me yesterday, how spooky is that?

Love Linda

Hi everyone, i am descended from Narcissa Bracher, (b. Dec.1806) who was Martha Bracher's (b. 1783) daughter and so i think Mary Bracher grand daughter.  I have read, with interest, all the different research material that people have found about her conviction and transportation in 1807, following a trial in July 1806 involving Mary, her husband George Bracher and daughter Martha Bracher (who was pregnant with Narcissa at the time). 

I cannot understand why Mary, the mother/wife was transported and George the husband and her daughter Martha were spared (discharged by bill).  I see Mary went on to build a new life for herself and remarry (as a widow?!) and I am pleased to see her family continued to thrive back in England.

If, as the original post was over a year ago, anyone has found anything further about the family in Australia or the one left behind in Stourton Wiltshire, i should be grateful to read it.  Thank you.

Hi Iolaus,  thank you for your message. If you could give me a week or so to look at my research (we have recently moved House and I haven't unpacked it yet) I will get back to you with details of my Brachers.  Best wishes Linda x

The Lighter Side / Did Martha BRACHER marry John EVERETT in 1805 or not?

Hi everyone i am new to this, but have been forwarded a RootsChat conversation that took place a little while ago concerning the above marriage, which relates to members of my family too.  My 4G Grandmother was also Martha Bracher and I am descended through her daughter Narcissa, who married Thomas Bishop on 27 May 1828.  My descendants come down through this line and i was born Linda Bishop in Somerset, and would love to know a little more about the Bracher line, especially any misdemeanors which i am struggling to find.  I notice that several of the people commenting JaneyH104 and,Claireross177 seem to have some information and should be grateful if they would contact me please.  If not, can someone let me know how i can access the Chat to ask them direct?
