Australia / Convict transported to Hobart Circa 1844
« on: Sunday 17 February 13 01:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
     Looking for a convict that my GG grandfather wrote about.

My gg grandfather Thomas Wayth GUDGEON wrote an article "The Forgery" for the "Thames Advertiser" in New Zealand.  The author was a regular writer to the newspapers and is known to change details and names to protect privacy.

The story is about a "secretary" in the Return of Duty office in the Taxation Department at Somerset House, London. The "secretary's" name was given as "William Yates" (most probably not his real name). He was convicted in about 1844 and transported to Hobart with a sentence of 12 years.  The story says he was 52 years old at the time.

I don't believe his real name was Yates, so how do I find him?
thanks

Hi,
   I am looking for death/burial details for Frank Harold (Harry) OSBORNE. 
He is said to have been buried at the Mountain Rise Pietermaritzburg cemetery SA in the late 1920s.
He is said to have followed an uncle to SA and that the uncle is also buried in that cemetery.
Thanks

Suffolk / Feltham, Suffolk
« on: Tuesday 18 December 12 12:15 GMT (UK)  »
I have a 1741 C marriage record from Euston Suffolk.  The spouse is from "Feltham"" Suffolk.  I cannot find Feltham either in the list of Suffolk parishes or on maps.   I am hoping that someone knows it as a former name of some suffolk parish, or perhaps was once a hamlet in a Suffolk parish.  It is also possible that this Feltham is in Norfolk.

I have attached an image of the place name in case  someone may read it better than I.

Please do not respond to this to tell me about Feltham Middlesex - I know about Feltham Middlesex.  I also know it could be Felsham Suffolk - that is being checked but it is a fair distance in the wrong direction and therefore unlikely.

Thanks
Steve

Suffolk / Lookup, Baptism at Euston, SLAPP
« on: Wednesday 05 December 12 06:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I am looking for the baptism of Thomas SLAPP circa 1743.  (he was 62 or 63 when he died in 1805)
Also in the same parish, looking for more detail on the marriage of Thomas SLAPP and Ann RUST at Euston SFK in 1741.

Hoping someone has access to the Euston parish registers

Many thanks

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / JOHNSON of North Newbald?
« on: Monday 26 November 12 04:33 GMT (UK)  »
Is there a resource that can tell whether Thomas JOHNSON or his wife Ellen left a Will in the early 1800s?
They lived at North Newbald after their marriage, not sure that they remained there.
.
Thomas JOHNSON & Ellen MARTIN married 1778.  They had a son John bapt 1779.

Not sure if these are the correct parents for my John JOHNSON.  If so Thomas would be Master/Owner/Captain of a sloop - possibly the "Bee" or the "Bang-up".  "Bang-up" was built at Hull in 1811. 

Thanks

Suffolk / GUDGEON marriage c 1752
« on: Sunday 25 November 12 03:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am looking for the marriage of Robert GUDGEON & Elizabeth circa 1752
The family lived in Eye Suffolk, but I don't think they were married there
(1st child, Elizabeth baptised 21 Feb 1753)
Possible connection with BARNABY surname.
Thanks

Canada / Joseph & Ann OSBORNE, Montreal
« on: Saturday 17 November 12 15:22 GMT (UK)  »
hi,
   Looking to find the death/burial of Joseph & Ann OSBORNE.
Joseph was born circa 1806 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England, 
on 9 Jul 1827 he married Anne MacGregor (b abt 1807) at St Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex, England
Their known children are Ann, Margaret and Joseph. Very likely there were others who married and remained in Montreal.
Ann married William Dunwoodie at Erskine Presbyterian Church, Montreal, Canada in 1845, they later lived in Ontario (1870 Census)
Margaret married Charles Langsford in Auckland, New Zealand in 1851
Charles & Ann and children Margaret & Joseph emigrate do New Zealand in March 1850
Margaret remained in New Zealand, Charles, Ann and Joseph did not remain in Australia or New Zealand.
I think they returned to Canada, probably around 1857.
They are said to have sent wedding gifts from North America, but I am not sure from where of when (probably after 1879)

A cousin named Ann MURRAY from Montreal visited relatives in England in 1929 and was visited by the family in Montreal in 1930 - This is noted in two diaries in my possession.  I have no idea of Ann MURRAY's age or of her relationship to Joseph and Ann.   

When Joseph was discharged from the 7th Hussars he asked that his pension be paid in Montreal Canada.

I most desire to find the death/burials of Joseph and Ann. 
It would be a bonus if we found other children of this family.
Thank you
