onvict posted on november 16 2016 by cassmob 18 in my talk at the conference mentioned previously i provided some statistics and followed up with a short series of stories as time was short some of these didn t get quite the coverage i d planned so i ll include them in full here i m also able to include some of the images i d found which couldn t be included in the presentation my first example was a convict james boland findingaids nationalarchives ie index php first up a member of australian royalty which is what we call our convicts james boland was convicted of the attack on a house or whiteboyism at the galway courts on 28 march 1832 and was sentenced to life the national archives of ireland hold a petition from james father francis which includes a letter from john lopdell co galway stating that james and his brother michael had been tenants on his estate since 1 may 1831 nai convict transportation database there were also character references from inhabitants of feakle parish co clare where the convict was born and where his parents were residing cooke edward william 1829 prison ship in portsmouth harbour convicts going aboard london viewed 16 november 2016 http nla gov au nla obj 153545 james was held at cork on a prison hulk before being transported on the ship roslin castle 450 tons under the guard of the 21 st regiment of the royal scottish fusiliers james and 194 other prisoners sailed from cork on 8 october 1832 arriving in sydney on 5 february 1833 after 120 days at sea james was allocated to mr twm winder of windermere near maitland in the hunter valley where he was employed as an agricultural labourer it would be many years before james s name would cease to linked with that of the roslin castle as this was how they identified one convict from another grosse frederick 1864 the shepherd s hut ebenezer and david syme melbourne state library of victoria http trove nla gov au work 34746116 his son s obituary suggests he worked as a shepherd for wentworth but this would have to be verified by detailed research shepherding was a challenge in those early days setting the shepherd against the depredations of dingoes wild dogs wild blacks and wild whites i it could be a very lonely life as a convict james had to apply for permission to marry and in 1844 aged 33 he married bridget savage in maitland bridget was a 29 year old free settler james was already living at luskintyre where he would remain for the rest of his life james s life sentence was essentially commuted by gaining first a ticket of leave on 11 may 1842 enabling him to move freely around the maitland area in 1849 james gained a conditional pardon meaning he was now a free man though he could not return to the british isles this would have been a great moment for him he was about 37 and had been a convict for nearly 16 years not quite life but not an easy path for a man who was barely an adult when convicted 1849 government gazette the maitland mercury and

5 last month i presented at the clare roots society s conference in ennis county clare it was a great pleasure and privilege to be able to share some findings from my research with the people attending and just as great a pleasure to have three irish cousins attending to listen in the days preceding the conference i also had the opportunity to be interviewed on clare fm radio my first ever radio experience it was rather fun and not too scary you can listen to the interview here these stained glass windows in st peter s catholic church surry hills sydney commemorate the garvey and hogan parents lives this east clare emigrants blog is an extension of my earlier research into identified east clare people which you can read out on my about the projct tab above i used both the immigration deposit journals from new south wales and the board s immigrant lists to identify the east clare immigrants to eastern australia and came up with some 1200 names of passengers who came under an assisted passage one paid in large part by a colonial government the problem then became how to identify these same immigrants as their lives progressed in australia how to distinguish between those many mcnamaras and o briens this is where trove and its digitised newspapers became important as a tool to rediscover those east clare immigrants and their life stories it also became apparent how many others came who i had not yet identified opening up further vistas for research and once again many thanks to those members of the clare genealogy group on facebook who responded to my request for images of their clare ancestors to include in collages for my talk save share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook email a link to a

posted in broadford irish family history tagged references research strategies 1 reply census substitutes in ireland posted on august 8 2016 by cassmob 13 today s post is a recyled version of one i wrote four years ago on my family history across the seas blog i m also participating in the national family history month challenge initiated by my genimate alex from family tree frog blog i m in irish mode at the moment and as most of us know none of the census records survived from the 19th century no they weren t all burnt in the troubles some were actually destroyed as part of a bureaucratic process so irish family researchers need to be a little more innovative and try other strategies you may be lucky and find your ancestors in some of the very few surviving census records or those where someone applied for a pension and needed to verify their birth using a 19th century census extract unfortunately i don t have the luck of the proverbial irish and my 2x great mother s sister honora garvey nee o brien is not among these even though she was quite poor what a blessing that would have been the next step is to turn to the griffith s valuations which are now available online through ask about ireland it s quite wondrous now that we can get instant answers and have a digital map to go with it sure beats having to look at the gv on microfiche and visiting ireland for the map i could make my life easier and this post very brief by exhorting you to beg borrow or buy a copy of james reilly s book richard griffith and his valuations of ireland if you have irish ancestry do yourself a favour and check its availability at your favourite bookstore or library hint an preview of this book is now available to read through google books enough for you to see how much value this seemingly slight book contains in the meantime have a read of this short article by reilly called is there more in griffith s valuations than just names reilly s book will astonish you with just how much lies behind those tables of information that we irish researchers treat as a substitute for the census i think the temptation for us is to simply look at the superficial facts of the size of our ancestor s land its value and who the immediate lessor was reilly makes it clear just how much more there is to even the summary information and in particular the significance of the number and alpha reference at the start of the line the new online access makes it easy to link the search with the map reference indicated by that originating number but again do we go beyond that how about the field books perambulation books and house books that lie behind the valuation yes they don t exist for all parishes but wouldn t you want to check unfortunately they re mostly only available in ireland but if you re sufficiently keen you may choose to employ a researcher to follow it up especially if you can determine they exist have you noticed on the gv maps at ask about ireland there s an option to include the house books if you activate that option you ll be able to see where they exist for which townland murphy at work aga...
