I have a subscription to Ancestry World and World Vital records and will look up information there.

I have an interest in far north Qld and have "Queen of the North" by Glenville Pike. I also have a couple of books about Harrisville, near Ipswich Qld, if anyone has any interests there.

Don't know if I should post this here, or in Brickwalls. Here goes. Looking for Annie Walsh, no dates, daughter of Martin Walsh and Mary L Coleman, married a Frederick William Ledger Jr (1903 - 1971)in 1927 in Victoria. Has a brother William "Bill" Walsh who's death is also a brick wall. Bill Walsh was born 1892 in Hay NSW, died unknown, married Amelia Smith McColl, who died in 1919 in the plague. Want to know what happened to Annie Walsh Ledger, can't find her death listed anywhere. Don't have any dates or any info on the Walsh parents except their names. Any help at all would be wonderful, I've been wondering what happened to Annie for years. Kind Regards and a happy new year.

Thanks Wayne that excellent, I didn't have that information. Are you related to the Jaunceys or just have access to these documents? I have some other information on the Jaunceys including information from England and some newspaper and book articles, primarily about John but also some about the time James spent in the 81st Regt. of Foot, serving in the Napoleonic wars, at Waterloo and also Corunna. I am happy to share with any other Jauncey researchers.

Hi Debby
Sorry about the delay

The Carew I found was a Sarah that was transported out here as a convict on the
"Roslyn Castle" (Rosslyn) in 1836 and in 22 Oct 1842 she got her Certificate of Freedom.

I also find this:
Lastname: CAREW Firstname: MARY Sex: F
Imprisonment place: Co. Tipperary
Trial date: 28/06/1853 Crime desc: Larceny
Sentence: Transportation for 7 yrs
Document ref1: TR 13, P 229 Comment1:
Convict ordered to be discharged, 07/07/1857.
it may be her??
And this:
On the ship “China” CAREW Mary age 25 19-12-1839 , Unmarried and listed as a house maid

May be some help to you

HI Wayne,

Thanks for the info. I don't think she can be the first one as she had already been married in Australia by those dates. The 2nd is a possibility although the age is out a bit but if she was illiterate or the person making the passenger list was lazy I know that sometimes happened. I'll go back and have another look at the marriage certificate and get her death certificate to see if there is anything I have missed on them that might confirm the 2nd one.
