Hi Everyone

I've gone over what I have been given on here and I'm so pleased that I come to Rootschat for advise.
You people have stopped me from getting too far ahead of myself.

My computer was playing up when I was trying to look at the Sydney Griffiths link re passengers in steerage going to Port Fairy, so I now see what you mean JM.  That makes more sense as I doubt he would have been able to afford a fare to London.

Merlin reminded me about John (Taylor) Tyler being a witness to Charles Fullen Taylor (Tyler) and Eliza Baker's marriage.  (I have a copy of this cert and had forgotten all about it, I purchased it a few years ago).  So that points to JT being in Tasmania in 1859.

I am learning things all the time on here.  I love Rootschat.

Thank you to everyone.

It doesn't help much but today I saw and index only called the "Tasmanian Colonial Index" and it mentions a John Tyler, Norfolk Island, Mangles (, New Experimental Prisoner. P3-5, Sect 335-6, FM 22, Film, CY 368.

Gerry, search under Alexander MACONOCHIE for information on New Experimental Prisoner.

Thank Merlin, I will have a look.  The 'cool' face I inserted in my post reference Mangles was an error some how it was supposed to read Mangles 8.

Hi Gerry and Merlin

Can you please tell me where to find this.
I have looked up "Tasmanian Colonial Index" but I can't find anything.

Thanks

I am fairly sure that the "Tasmanian Colonial Index" is the one prepared in the late 1990s by the Kiama Family History Group. 

Add,   Yes,  Mr Google seems to be confirming my thoughts.

If it is the Kiama one, then it is a well recognised index resource.

Gerry has quoted the index references. 

One of those links has the contact details for the Kiama group, and you will likely need to send a nominal amount to the group for them to provide you with the details that the index points to.


Cheers,  JM
