Australia Lookups completed / Re: Rookwood Cemetery
« on: Sunday 16 July 06 07:59 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any Bloomfield buried in the Rookwoord Cemetery.  Two in particular.  Charles Spencer [AKA William Charles] Bloomfield, died 1837, who may have been transferred from the Old Devonshire Cemetery in Sydney.  The other is his wife Eliza Vittoria Bloomfield, or her second marriage, Eliza Vittoria Horsey.
Thanks for any help
Carol

Thanks very much for your reply.  It certainly fits with George's birth.  I will pursue this further

Berkshire Lookup Requests / WINDSOR 1841 CENSUS
« on: Monday 29 May 06 07:20 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the family of Thomas Chalton [AKA Charlton], and his wife Sarah in Windsor 1841.  My ancestor was George Arthur Chalton who would have been about 14 years old in 1841.  Thanks for any help with this. Carol

Thanks Pat
I guess the only way I can approach this now is to see the records myself.
We are thinking of spending some time in Ireland and Scotland the first half of next year, which will help with my research. ::)

Pat,
I have just checked the Newry Commercial Telegraph, and have found my man.  It seems that he was a rogue who used the alias Nugent, but was identified as the son of Rev. Wright.  One of the articles also stated that he had at least two-three children.
Still can't find his marriage however, but will keep looking.
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks again Pat.  I don't suppose you would have access to the Church of Ireland records for the early 1800s, or perhaps College records of Trinity College Dublin?
TCD have let me know that William Nixon Wright did not graduate and that there may be some information available in student records etc. I have a copy of a letter from Rev. John Wright saying that his son had brought shame on the family while in College, had made a most imprudent marriage and must have been insane at the time.  Rev. Wright was begging for clemency for the his son.

Hi Pat,

Many thanks for your prompt reply.  I have however, seen this site before, and even though I think there is a connection, there is no evidence of the family of Rev. John Wright and his wife Mary Sloane.
I have done a lot of work here in Australia, but am having trouble finding more about the family in Ireland. Some of the convict records I have of William Nixon Wright in Australia before he absconded in 1833, suggest that his wife Jane arrived with her children in 1830.  I have her arrival, but the ship's record does not nave a record of children.
There is a lot more to this, but I realise that I now have to try research in Monaghan as the next option.
Sincere thanks again.

I am researching the family of Reverend John Wright rector of Killeevan Parish Church in the early to mid 1800s. His wife was Mary Sloane and his children were Caroline Wright who married John Shaw, Elizabeth, and William Wright.
William had entered Trinity College Dublin about 1819. He committed a crime and was Transported for Life to Australia in 1829.  He absconded in 1833.  I believe he married a Jane ?Nixon not long after entering TCD and may have had children before being Transported to Australia.
Any help with this research will be greatly appreciated.
