Thanks again for all your effort. I think that transcript is right. Should I mark this one and the other ar complete?

Hi,
bit confused about the fractions
It's on a white page, taken from across 2 pages. Vertically it takes up about a third of the white page. Wouldn't the whole thing be a third of the 2 pages?

21
and you have more than one almost Super Centurian relative!

am really stopping now

22
need to stop now
but just a note: the parents of Charles as in the marriage are Charles Wilson (a Sailor) & Sarah Bond
Thanks.

so New Zealand?
It does look like a mistake's been made.

Zeehan (or Mount Zeehan) does seem a long way from Hobart, where, if it's him, his birth was registered:
b 28 Aug 1850 (male) parents Charles Wilson (boatman) and Sarah (Bond) (Charles b 4 Aug 1850 from bp) https://librariestas.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/en_AU/tas/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fARCHIVES_DIGITISED$002f0$002fARCHIVES_DIG_DIX:RGD33-1-3/one
 image 265 (/ 291) Old Wharf (Sarah x mark)

but the next child to be born, George, was registered in 1852 in New South Wales.
Charles wouldn't have been old enough to remember New Zealand at such a young age, I don't think, if they went to New Zealand in between, but his parents might have talked about it.

Wow! I'm in heaven. Thanks so much. (am happy because it is more and more probable that I am semi-related to a convict)
I shouldn't have ticked the complete so soon!
What's super centurian?

I did look at it a while ago and wonder if it said New Zealand. I'd forgotten, probably because I didn't want it to be true. I hope it isn't, but think you could be right. I'm wondering though if he just said that so he wasn't revealing his convict mother and possibly father. Would people do that? I can't see his b in New Zealand. By 1878, neither of the people I think were his parents was alive, though it seems they had some children in New South Wales after they left Tasmania, and died in New South Wales.
That is Mary Ann's family. I have a rule I made up though, where I don't want to publish people born after 1871.
Shea seems to be the main spelling.
Thanks all. I'm pretty convinced about New Zealand I think.

I don't know about his death. His common name doesn't help.
I can vaguely see a Q.
I can also see the first word as King or Huon.
I have been looking through localities in Tassie and found a great name: Nowhere Else.
There are capital T's in the witnesses' names.
I can't see a 2.
I'm not sure what else you'd like. I'm fairly sure that the names in my sample look like the same handwriting as the "signatures".
