Searching for origins of: MCNALLY, Catharine Christiana

[Wiggy]

Hi Robyn,
I detect David's research in this -  I think Aussie Bob's info might have come via someone who knew of David's research!  The stories are too similar and they peter out at the same point that he had got to before joining the fray with us. 
Mrs Catherine Overand was still happily living in Sydney in 1822 and 1828 musters!   David himself proved that  - that's when he may his apology to all and sundry at about post 100 on the old, linked thread.  I'm pretty sure we can put that one to rest!

Cheers,

Wiggy

Well, well, well, 

Amazing what confusion a stolen laptop, a changed email address, ignorance of the initial thread and only a passing interest in the original notes I received, can cause.       Oh well, I guess the puzzle remains for you to ponder.   

Its a small world, David himself is the contact I lost track of and got the original advice from.   We will have a laugh over this when we do catch up.    I need to send him details of a book I am about to publish, so, as a 2nd barrel, it would be great if someone can get him to PM me and I can give him my email address.

Happy Hunting,

Aussie Bob

Hmm - I thought so!   

I reckon he'll read your posting any time fairly soon and answer you himself!

Where is Mayfield House? - Richmond?   Looks very nice!

Cheers,

Hi Wiggy,

Mayfield was built by my GGG Grandfather, Thomas Buxton, who arrived in 1821 as a free settler aboard the "Westmoreland" and is on the East Coast of Tassy just north of Little Swanport.  It is a grand house steeped in history.    (see book details in for sale thread)

Regards, Aussie Bob

Nice!   
Thanks for info - will go and look at sale info right now.

Bit More,

1820 McNally sighting in VDL

On an online INDEX at http://portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=8 
Could this be HER

390149  - presume this is a file number at the Tasmanian Archives Office, sorry, I am in NSW, so I have not got ready access to that primary record... only the online index...

MCNALLY   CATHERINE 1820 marriage or relationship 1820 Hobart... 
possibly its for birth of Thomas, - Umm I've read back through the old thread, not sure, but .... perhaps this contains info about Catharine's relationship with Thomas Ransom, and has details of how she got to VDL, her birth, her parents, her children- so many genie things to consider -any signatures, any witnesses, any addresses, any neighbours, any genie clues at all.

Cheers,

JM

Pretty sure that is Thomas Jnr's birth - Nov 1820 and baptised Dec 1820.  Just been to that site - can't see what you are looking at but pretty sure

Edit - found it - yes that's Jnr's birth

JM,

Pretty sure this is just what it says, but look at how many Catha(e)rines there are but no parents etc. Pity there is on more info available. 390193 is her marriage to Steiglitz still with no dob etc. NO death their for Ransom either.

These are not 100% accurate, my GGGgrandma shows up in the  Tassie 1837 census but not in the TCFL although her parents and siblings are in it. Not all material is verified by teh archives office. So like the IGI you need to be wary of of it  but it is a good starting point.

NB Ann Ransom birth 1817 verified by archives office as is her marriage to Von Steiglitz ans her death.  BUT no parent names given!!!

regards
all
