Yes, that is my Thomas.  I do not know anything about his wife except on his convict records he is reported as "Married" "wife Sarah" one child.   Nothing other than that.    Jacob being her husband discounts the Sarah mentioned in Capetown's first post.  I have found a Thomas Pool's marriage to a Sarah Moriss (maybe sic?) in 1825 in the parish of Hempstead hamlet of Littleworth.   On one of Thomas' crime reports he had stolen from a Robert Morris so I thought that may be the marriage.  However on Thomas' convict records for Read/Write it states "B" which I believe is "Both".  Further Thomas signed both of his next 2 marriage registrations in Tasmania.   On the Sarah Moriss marriage he signed with an X.  Further, a witness was Robert Pool, and my Thomas had one sibling who was Robert. But why sign with an X???   My Thomas was baptised 1803 in Upton St Leonards to Samuel and Mary Pool nee Brown. I have the parents burials and all of Robert's family.   What I need is Thomas' marriage in Eng. and Samuel and Mary's parents.   

I am seeking advice on what is written in the last column of the entry for Sarah Poole widow aged 90 on the 1901 census at the Cirencester Workhouse.  It is mentioned a few times on the Workhouse inmates records.  It looks like "Eng C not st" but what does this mean?    Maybe English-cannot stand? or English Church not stated?  any ideas welcome.    The URL for the item is too long to post on this site, But can be found under English census 1901 for Sarah Poole born 1811.  I believe she may be the widow of my Thomas Poole, convict,  from Upton St Leonards.

Hi Topscore 1,  It is 3 posts that is required before you can send/receive a PM so if you thank me once again    I will be able to contact you....Bob

Hi Topscore,  Yes I agree it looks like Henry snr. was freed 1831.  Thank you for this find.  Since my post on this issue, I have found that there was a "Henry Pike, Labourer, boarder, 76, at Portsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire" on the 1851 census.   It seems this may be our man, as his son, Henry Jnr on his convict papers was a Baker and labourer working for his brother at Portsea. The 1841 census has William Pyke aged 47 born Chichchester Sussex, occupation: Baker.  On the 1881 census at Portsea, Hamps. is William Pyke aged 66, retired Baker.     I have found more children born to Henry and Hannah and also what I believe is his father's burial: Thomas Pyke Buried 24 June 1774 Horsham, Sussex. Those I believe are Henry and Hannah's family are:

 Henry Pike married Hannah Paine at Thakeham, Sussex 24 June 1793

1. William Pyke Bap. 29 June 1794 at Thakeham, Sussex (became a Baker)
2. Joseph Pyke Born abt 1800/1 Storrington, Sussex. (convict to Tasmania)
3. Mary Pyke Bap. 5 June 1803 at Storrington, Sussex
4. Charlotte Pyke Bap. 21 April 1805 Storrington, Sussex
5. Henry Pyke Born abt 1809 Storrington, Sussex (convict to Tasmania)
6. Richard William Pyke Born abt 1811 Sussex, England ( sailed to Adelaide with his wife in 1836)
7. Elizabeth Pyke Bap 30 May 1813 Storrington, Sussex (on the 1841 census Elizabeth was 28 and unmarried living with her brother William at Portsea, Hamps.
8. Hannah Pyke Bap 19 Nov 1815 Storrington, Sussex

I am interested to know which of Margaret Boag's children you descend from. I will send a personal message with my email address.  cheers, Bob

Again, many thanks Capetown.  I will look at all this great info when I get the chance. Sorry to be so late responding, but have been away up "the bush".

John Rodway and Mary Poole ?  .....must be related to my John Poole and Mary Rodway.
