VICTIMS OF TYRANNY Brendan Whiting
tells the story of brother convicts from Ireland, Maurice and Michael Fitzgerald.Exiled to New South Wales for life, and by chance, transported on the same ship, they were assigned to Parramatta. It was here that they were flogged, Maurice so viciously that he barely survived, and Michael was subsequently banished to the hellish conditions of Norfolk Island. Reunited five years later, they wre transferred to Van Diemens LandMeticulously researched and full of fascinating insights into the times, Victims of Tyranny is an intimate portrayal of these two men, one whose spirit was finally broken by the physical punishents he suffered, the other whose unfailing determination to bear the odds eventually brought him happiness in his new land

Hello Shash

This post was first opened when finding info online was not as favourable as it is today so hence the post going into the one name section even though you was hoping for something closer to home than that....so what have you discovered in reference to your Fitzgerald's over the last five years?

Summary

1861 census
Acre Villa infant Asylum, Ealing Green, Brentford, Middlesex
Edmond Fitzgerald........boarder.....3....scholar...........NOT KNOWN
--------
*there is a Frederick Cooper aged 1 with Edmond in 1861 and he is still with Edmond in 1871 aged 11 even though the household has completely changed so the 1861 and 1871 are the same Edmond and I would imagine he is the same as seen in 1881 &1891
------------------------------------

1871 census
Outram Street, Islington, London, Middlesex
Edmond Fitzgerald........boarder.....13...............NOT KNOWN

Edmond it appears does not know where he was born (and it appears nor does the infant asylum where he was when 3 years old) so does he now have a licence to change his birthplace as it takes him?

1881 census

Edmond Fitzgerald......lodger.....22.....railway servant.........Scotland
----------

1882
Lambeth R.D

Is there any records for the Acre Villa Infant Asylum held at the National Archives at Kew?

I am wondering if you ever found any information about the Acre Villa Infant Asylum, Ealing Green, Ealing as I have a fellow pupil at this Asylum and would appreciate a pointer to any records that you may have found.

The pupil I am interested in is Ellen Gilbert who married into my one-name study of Blofeld.

Thanks

Hello Keyes

Welcome to rootschat the best family history site around and its free...

You have placed this request in the wrong place which is easily done when you are new to the site....
Start a post/lookup in the London section

I gather this is the place you refer too below

1861 census
Acre Villa infant Asylum, Ealing Green, Brentford, Middlesex
Edmond Fitzgerald........boarder.....3....scholar...........NOT KNOWN
--------

and is your Ellen Gilbert in fact Phyllis E Gilbert who married Frederick J Blofield in 1946 Acre R.D, Norfolk
If it is Phyllis looks like she was born in the Dec qtr of 1915 Blofield R.D, Norfolk.
and the only Frederick J Blofield I can see was born John Frederick Blofield born 1877 Chelsea...possible but doubtful?

The National Archives at Kew refers to Acre Villa infant Asylum but if i'm reading it correct the file consists of blank pages but you could enquire with them

Thanks for your quick reply.

My Ellen Gilbert was born in Dec 1850 and was registered in Shoreditch RD Q1 1851. She married James Blofeld April 1876. I attached my request to the One-Name Studies A-G because I had found that someone had posted about the Acre Villa infant Asylum and I sort of thought as she married into the Blofeld One name study that the question may qualify.

Thanks also for the hint about the National Archives (I have a meeting in Kew at the end of January so will do some investigating) and also about posting in the London section
