naismithn — 2010-03-17 03:58:18Z

Trying to find how I can identify why convicts were transported. Wm Hy Worrad was sentenced to life around 1832, arriving on the Aurora 1835 - I would like to know what was the crime he was convicted of. Permission to marry granted 1842.
Any assistance greatly appreciated

Hi Lynne

Everyone seems to have that problem, we went through the records in at Kingswood repository but could find nothing.I too would love to know how and when Letitia and children arrived. I left another post which has more info in it...I have just joined this site so I apologise if I am going about this incorrectly.

Hi Debbie

I am descendant from Silas and Letitias daughter Hannah and am like everybody else cannot find when and hor Letitia came to Australia. I also have a copy of her letter you have plus copies of TOL and Cert. of freedom etc.,for SIlas, court writings of his trial and reports of same from two Berkshire newspapers. He is indeed mentioned in Maitland Mercury on various occassions including an advert. for the auction of his holdings in Maitland prior to moving to Sydney.
I sent for and received the "Probate Package" as he died intestate.. Letitia has signed some of the papers so she could at least write her name. He had £163.0.0 in the bank when he died, a lot of money for those times.

I could go on forever but will leave my email if you or anyone else would like contact

Re: John Hall

amaurer145 — 2010-03-11 13:39:46Z

Keith, Thank you for your response. Much appreciated. I have looked at this family. My John Hall definitely died in 1841. I have the copies of his probate documents from State Archives. It would be good if it was the 'Coromandel' Halls as there is plenty of inform on them but unfortunately the John Hall died 1869 doesn't match my info. I will look up and read your book with interest. I have become quite interested in the John Hall stories as part of my elimination process. Thanks again. Ann

Re: John Hall

Keith_Binney — 2010-03-11 05:38:36Z

There was a JOHN HALL (1800-1869)who matches your time-frame but arrived as a 2yo free settler. Recorded in my book 'Horsemen of the First Frontier (1788-1900)'
ISBN 064644865X

"In 1802, George Hall (1764-1840), well-educated son of a Northumberland farmer, together with his wife Mary nee Smith and children Elizabeth (1793-1834), George Smith (1795-1882), William Smith (1797-1871) and John (1800-1869) arrived as free settlers aboard the Coromandel."

If this is your John Hall there is considerable family information on pages 125-128.

Re: Convict history

mamev1 — 2010-03-09 13:44:49Z

Thank you all for your help. I think maybe James did survive his initial journey, at least for awhile. "Lammin" is a variation of the name. My particular family was in Crossmolina, County Mayo in the 1830's.Prior to that, there is evidence that they lived in County Tyrone.related families were in Ballina, using the Lammin surname. They disappeared from church records during the Great Famine. (The Church records for that period were not well kept and there were missing years.)

I will check your recommendations. I did access some city directories and it appears that the name did not die out in Australia, although certainly there were other unrelated families there.

Thank you again.

For the period he would have been ready for a Ticket of Leave try

I can see a James LAMMIN arriving on Anne(1) from Ireland in 1801, sentenced to Life.

Also checking Ireland National Archives under Transportation might find others.

Hi Marybeth,
Following Julliegh finding James LAMMIN, I have looked on NSW BDM.
No Marriage or Death for him but there is this:
James LAMOND m Margaret MORRISON St Andrew's Presbyterian Scot's Church in Sydney in 1849. # V1849170873B/1849
There are no children registered to this couple. There is a death:
Margaret LAMOND d in Berry in 1891 -parents unknown # 35350/1891
There is a death fro:
James LAMOND d 1892 Nowra -parents James and Isabella # 9969/1892

Berry and Nowra are 18km apart South of Sydney

The list of Convict Particulars 1788-1842 listing James LAMMIN is unfortunately unreadable :(

Re: Convict history

Julleigh — 2010-03-09 04:02:20Z

Hello Marybeth
Sorry can't add much to your knowledge just confirmation. James *Lammin* arr'd per the Ann in Sydney in 1801. Although he may have moved around the NSW area his records would have remained in that colony. van Diemens Land (Tasmania) was only settled in 1803 and I found no mention of him under any name variation in that colony. A possibility was that he may have been moved to Norfolk Island but this settlement remained attached to NSW for many years before it was transferred to vDL control.
Two minor points, two Lamond girls, apparently from England, were transported to vDL one in 1827, the other in 1835, and the later *rebels* William Smith O'Brien etc were transported to vDL in 1849

Re: Convict history

mamev1 — 2010-03-09 00:16:45Z

Hi Alison,

Initially, the information that there was a relative who had been sent to Australia came from my mother. This person was on my paternal grandfather's side of the family. They were Scots who came early in the Plantation period to Ireland and intermarried with Catholics, and converted.

I looked on the transportation lists on the Irish National Archives page and the information was there. He had been captured in 1798, probably during the French invasion and sentenced to a life sentence in Australia shortly afterward. The name of the ship was the "Ann" and it also contained some commercial passengers.

I was just wondering where he might have landed and if he survived there. I am reading your countryman, Thomas Kinnealy's book, The Great Shame, which focuses on the convicts sent to Australia from Ireland, including the Young Ireland convicts, Meagher, O'Brien and McManus.

Because they came from the upper strata of society, they had much more mobility than the ordinary convict. However, I noticed too that for good behavior and demonstrated diligence, sentences could be commuted and it was possible for the ordinary convict to rise in society in terms of opening businesses or acquiring land.

Not unlike the US in its better days, the people nobody wanted were often dumped on Australia and became some of its most talented and innovative citizens.

I will examine the Irish records further. It seems to me that the Ann originally arrived in Sydney but from Kinneally's book, it appears that James could have been sent anywhere. And that's a very BIG anywhere.

Thank you so much.

Hello mamev1,
Welcome to Australia !
Where did you get the information about James Lammond coming here on the Ann in 1801 ?
I have had a look at the convict registers { on Ancestry}and can't find the Ann let alone James, but ,I am NO expert on convicts and I am sure someone else who knows more than me will step in and help you.
Each state has it's own BDM which are on CD's and some are online.
Most convicts were sent to either New South Wales or Tasmania { known as Van Diemens Land}.
You can search New South Wales BDM online here
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/familyHistory.htm

Good luck with your search. I am sure you will get the help you need shortly.

Convict history

mamev1 — 2010-03-07 20:23:34Z

While the Lamond family originated in Scotland, by the late 18th century, it was located in Connaught. James was accused of being a member of the United Ireland rebel group in 1798 and was punished with transportation to Australia. He arrived there aboard the "Ann" in 1801.

Our family story is that "some one of them" had been sent to Australia. Judging from the time period, he might have been an uncle to my great-grandfather. I don't know how to find research sources in Australia and am not even certain where exactly James was sent upon arrival. I do know that a number of Lamond/Lammonds appear in various city directories. Where would I begin?

Re: Scifleet

kennyncherrie — 2010-03-06 11:06:56Z

Hazel
There was an Aaron Henry Scifleet (son of Edward (transported 1829 from Stockbury, KEnt with the surname Syfleet)and Jane)born in Black Creek NSW AUstralia in 1849 who died in Orange NSW in 1930. I think perhaps his son may be William though Aaron had a brother called William and no doubt quite a few nephews with the same name.
Helpful or more confusing?

Re: -William Lay

PJConvicts — 2010-03-04 01:02:46Z

Hi Dot

William most certainly did arrive in New South Wales. He is listed on the muster taken on board when the England arrived in 1826. His name is spelt Laye on the Indent and he also used the alias of Lee. William could not read or write, he was Protestant and a single man. His native place was listed as Berkshire. He was a Weaver by trade. Tried Berkshire 10 January 1826 and sentenced to serve 7 years for stealing poultry. He was 5' 7" and 3/4 tall, dark ruddy complexion, brown hair and dark brown eyes. He had a few tatts - IL and WL on right arm and L on his left arm. Also had a large burn scar on his left elbow. His age given is a little smuged but looks like 21.

Hi Thanks for your effort, I,m having trouble trying to find out anything about him, it would have helped if his age had been stated when he was sentenced as i,ve found a lot of William Lay,s but don,t fit in. It could be as you say, he died. Anyway thanks. Dot

Re: -William Lay

Sad_Mushroom — 2010-03-03 22:00:05Z

Hiya,
Maybe he died on the voyage??

There is no mention of him in convict musters, TOL, COF or anything. He doesn't even show on the 1828 NSW census.
I even searched just for William on ship England in 1826 and nothing.

Only other thing I can think of is maybe his name had been changed/transcribed incorrectly. Although nothing much is showing for anything..

Found the following notes for you

Silas Noyes [convict], and Lettitia Partridge, who were married in 1813, England. Silas arrived on Board the Georgina, 1831. [Ancestry.com.au]. Lettitia and Silas were the parents of seven children.

Lettitia, along with her [seven] children, followed her husband to Australia in 1835.
Silas died in 1848; an article in the Sydney Morning Herald records his death as the 22 February 1848

katbwil — 2010-02-15 09:17:54Z

Hi

If a convict was sent to Australia for life on a murder conviction and given a ticket of leave 8 years later - does that mean a ticket to leave the prison or just the work gang?

I have a conduct record that is not complimentary of my ancestor, and wonder, if he was always in trouble and guilty of murder why he could leave after 8 years.

Hi Kellie, You seem to be an excellent researcher and so I would like to ask this re Stephen Kelcy and his seemingly early release from his 14yr sentence.
Not knowing much about Tas convicts and the system do you know why he would be released from the conviction before the 14 yrs were up? Newspaper reports 1842 show ad. for hunting, so I wondered if it was that he may have had 'funds' and was released early because of his status?
