Thanks for your assistance re George Constantine Cockayne. George's prison record said he was married with one child at the time of his transportation. Efforts to locate the family have uncovered a marriage on July 24, 1853, in Stepney, Middlesex between a George Constine Cockayne and Emma Armstrong. The father's name on this certificate was also George Constine Cockayne. I believe that this may be the son that George snr. left behind. Unfortunately the marriage certificate does not mention his mothers' name. However, the following year, on August 20, 1854, I have a burial certificate for a George Constine Cockayne, aged 21, and buried in the Parish of St.Duncan, Stepney. I don't think married life agreed with him! The woman George snr ended up with on the Bendigo goldfields was one Elizabeth Fraser, without doubt. Coincedence has it that while George was in Van Diemans Land, a female convict arrived who had been tried under the name of Elizabeth INNES, transported under the name Elizabeth Innes, but recorded in the prison registers in Van Diemans Land as Elizabeth Fraser@Innes. It is possible that this woman reverted back to her maiden name or similar, but she definately went under both names. Her place of origin was Grenock, Scotland. This is the only woman with the name Fraser that I have been able to find with a remote connection to George Constantine Cockayne. Apart from the villainy she got up to to get transported, when Elizabeth Fraser was shacked up with George on the goldfields she got into a bit more strife by way of a court appearance at Eaglehawk M.C. on a charge of "trumpery". Fortunately for her, she beat the charge.
