Thomas TACEY : Convict to Tasmania ?

[JonJon]

Hi,

Thomas TACEY was transported to VDL and arrived there in 1840 on the Runnymede.

Please can I have help to find out what happened to him and his descendants ?

It seems as if he may have married twice first to Sarah PAGE
and later to a Catherine..  although I am far from certain about this.

There seems to have been at least one daughter.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Im assuming he was married to a Catherine in the UK before been shipped out here, then remarried.

Hi,

Thanks Giblet.

Yes Thomas TACEY was married to Catherine ( nee FRIER ) who can be found in the UK Census for 1841 living in Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire, England.

Yes you found the correct UK marriage.
Other household members are her mother and grandmother plus a boy that may be a son.
The boy Joseph died soon after the 1841 census was taken.

There is a series of messages in Rootschat  Leicestershire about the UK side of the story.
I also have UK Newspaper items on the court case.

I would like to know if he did marry Sarah PAGE and if they had children etc.

There seems to be a matching family in a Census of Tasmania.

As you say there appears to be a record in 1848.
