CRAIGIE Family 1838-1848 NSW?

[jlmack1]

I have a girl arrive from Scotland with her parents in 1838
She marrys in County of Auckland NSW in 1848

Is there any census or other that can give where they stayed during that time?

Her name; Jane Craigie

She married William McCarthy (He arrived from London in 1838 but was sentanced to 15 years for wrong doing) Must have got off for good behavious seeing he married in 10 years.  Where would he have been for that 10 years?

Thank you for any help.

I  just checked the State Records Office of NSW  and  must admit I  cannot find any  information on a convict named William McCarthy, do you  know if he was sent to NSW after he was convicted?

YES HE CAME ON THE "BENGAL MERCHANT" 21/7/1838.
HE WAS TRIED AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT LONDON 1837 AND SENTANCED TO 15 YEARS.

I have not been able to find any 'freedom' tickets and do not know what happened after they arrived. Did they go to goal or just work on some property for the time?

There are hearsays about him working for a Ben Boyde, but do not know any more, only after arriving in 1838 he married in 1848 - what happened in these 10 years when his term was 15 years?

His name was spelt McArthy on the marriage certificate.

Thank you Lee

Hi Lee,

Couple of little things re William. In the Convict Index he was listed as aged 20 of Co Cork, apprentice shoemaker arrived in 1838 Bengal Merchant 2.

His name is listed under under

Pardons 1842-1845.

William McCarthy arrived 1838, Bengal Merchant Convicted C C Court

Cheers Kris

Hi,


There are hearsays about him working for a Ben Boyde, but do not know any more, LEE


Wonder if this is of interest to you.  It is one of many references to be found to BEN BOYD.

Thanks Guys, Every little bit helps.

This Boyd fellow had a colourful life, but needed to pay a bit more and things may have been different!

Thanks

Back again.....Jane arrived from Glasgow with her siblings, William, Walter and Elizabeth.
Her parents Robert & Elizabeth were also on the ship "Waltram Rodger "1838, they were assisted.

How can I find the death details of Elizabeth..the mother..aged 34 and she died whilst in the quarantine station North Heads.

She was Elizabeth Craigie (Logan) and married Hamilton Lanmark 1825.

Thank you.

Sparrett, Thank you. I will get the certificate for the infant in 1838, as perhaps mother (Elizabeth) and the baby died at child birth. Will check this out.

My information came from another branch, but it has not been solved yet.

Robert Craigie married Janet Haddow 24/5/1839 (2nd marriage to look after the children)

Thank you will look into that death certificate for now.
