Good Morning everyone
Firstly I would like to know if anyone on the list has the NSW Pioneer Index 1788-1888 (or similar) CD or if it is available at any of the libraries! I am trying to sort out my NOWLAN/D family. It’s a bit mixed up with some records appearing on the NSW BDM and some? on the above Index.
I have 5 Children born to convicts JAMES NOWLAN/D per “Coromandel 2 ” 1804 and ELEANOR/ELLEN McCARTHY/ (aka McCarty) per “Mary Ann” 1822.
Dennis b 1824 (on NSW BDM)
Ann b 1826 (on NSW BDM) born Maitland/Wallis Plains BUT baptised? at St. Mary’s Sydney 1830 (Confusing)
James b 1827 (on NSW BDM) listed 3 times
John b 1833 (on NSW BDM) listed 3 times
William does not appear on NSW BDM. I was hoping that he may have been on the Pioneer Index??
The family seem to be on the 1828 Muster BUT ANN is not listed. Living in Wallis Plains (near Maitland)
It has been a crazy ride sorting JAMES NOWLAN/D out as there were TWO on the Coromandel sent out exactly the same year!
On the Queensland library data base My one seems to be listed as NEWLAND term 7 years and his trial is on the Old Bailey site. Just copied his trial this morning. The ‘OTHER’ James is listed as NOWLAN tried 16 Feb 1803 aged 28, LIFE. No old Bailey trial though.
Hulk registers ancestry have BOTH of them (I think?) on the “PRUDENTIA.” It’s a tangle and I am still researching everything available at the moment. One may have died in 1819 25 January, buried St. Peters CE Richmond area.
Thanks for any advise/help. Kindest regards Dianna
