Do any of these names appear in your book (my direct blood ancestors)? They are all NSW arrivals.

Stephen Williams "Eleanor" 1831
William McCready "Recovery" 1823
Mary Clark "Woodman" 1823
Thomas Sarjeant "Marquis of Hastings" 1827
George Smith "Fortune" 1806
Edward Robinson "Admiral Barrington" 1791
Mary Harrison  "Mary Ann" 1791
Sarah Dorest "Lady Juliana" 1790

I have more (non-blood) convicts, who married into the family either by 2nd marriage, or marrying siblings of the above. However, just the above 8 will do, if you are able to - thanks.

de Belin, Swindail, Willcock, Williams, Moore, Watts, Searjeant, Watson, McCready, Reid, Spink, de Lancey, Van Cortland, and of course, Smith!

Hi Margaret

Could I just have a brief check on Mary Bentley?  If she looks as though she comes from the East End of London, from a family of watermen and lightermen, I would be very interested in knowing more about her!

Ah now see, I should have done it this way in the first place ;D

Marie, for Marie Bentley, sorry was not in alphabetical order for a couple as they link with some of the other names, she was linked with William Peeler.
Doesn't look like your Mary Bentley though.
In May 1839 William Peeler married Mary Bentley, a native of Linlithgow, Scotland
Sorry.

Hi Romaly,
There is at least half a page of typed info and an artist impression of what he may have looked like (although in my opinion he looks more like he stepped out of the 1960's with a rock n'roll hairstyle, lol)

The pages of the book refuses to sit flat which makes it difficult to copy from >:(
Some quick info to start:
At 13 William Christian Roworth(1820-1864) and another boy were convicted in January 1834 of stealing three pocket books, eleven pencils and two flutes from the shop of James Tyler in Shoreditch, East London.
If you send me a pm, with your email address, it might be easier for me to send you the info that way.
That is up to you, if you don't want to pass on your personal details I will endevour to type up the rest here for you ;)
I am still learning to use my new scanner and computer, so will have to learn how to put up the scanned images and where I am to save them  ::)  I got so use to the old one.

Thanks for looking, anyway, Margaret!  :)

It was just a chance, anyway - check out everything, is my motto!  ;D
