Decipher Please
« on: Tuesday 10 January 12 02:26 GMT (UK) »
I have a copy of one of my wifes Irish convicts arrival in Australia.

In the section of the page, at the far right hand side, "How disposed of" I can make out the words 39 Regiment. It is the word in front of that i am trying to decipher.

Is it Farmer? or is it Tanner? I simply do not know, so am seeking your help.

I thought Farrier too, although I'm not 100% sure.

Err...I didn't make the connection between this and your other post on Margaret Manning and Benjamin Hamilton . I leapt to the conclusion that a male convict had been assigned as a farrier to the 39th Reg.

Realising now that you are talking about Margaret's assignment, I think it is likely she was assigned to John FARMER, who was/had been with the 39th Reg.

According to a 3/4/2005 posting on RW/Ancestry, John Farmer, of the 39th, married Elizabeth Roberts March 1831, and a son was born in the following year. That's as much as I know at present...
Hopefully that will bear further investigation......and I think you can scratch my farrier response!!  ;D
