    This webpage came about as I was trying to track marriage applications forsome of my Sheedy family members. On Lesley Uebel’s CD- CONVICTS PERMISSIONTO MARRY 1826-1851 I found John Sheehy also known as Keane (per BRAMPTON)applied in 1832 to marry Catherine Fogarty (per ASIA 1). Both were still serving their time in the convict system.Therewere two John Keane’s on the BRAMPTON, both of similar ages and occupations, butJohn Keane (also known as Cain) was from Co Tipperary, and our John Sheehy (also knownas Keane) was from Co Kerry. John Keane (not Sheehy) applied to marry Catherine Brown(per Palambam)in 1833, and they did not marry until 1834.The marriage of John Sheehy to Catherine Fogarty wasofficially registered in 1832, so I thought it a small matter to confirm the familyrelationship through descendents and by applying for the original application to marry.What I found was a confusing array of information in relation to the original applicationsfor convict’s marriages.

    A convict’s marriage was considered an ‘Indulgence’ by theColonial Government..and permission had to be granted fora marriage to take place. 신용카드현금화

    There is a startling tendency amongst family historians to simply accept at face value, from available indexes, that an applicationfor marriage by a convict then did take place. In fact, many convict’sapplications were rejected, and some convicts re-applied severaltimes before they were permitted to marry their intended.BridgetSheedy (a convict who arrived per Hooghly) applied four times tobe married in nearly as many years…In 1833 Bridget applied to marry Daniel Ryan who had arrived per “Argo”, in 1836 she applied to marry Daniel McMurtery,in 1838 applied to marry George Cartledge and then in 1839 for permission to marry Isaachar Bennie/Binney. (no consent recorded for this marriagebut it did take place) refs: 31/10412 shelf 4/2124

    If two ex-convicts had served their time, they did not need Governmentapproval to marry. If one convict wished to marry an ex-convict, thenthe first mentioned had to apply for permission to marry.

    One kind lister (Joan Birtles) was able to tell me that she accessed a source titled”List of Persons applying for the Publication of Banns at St John’s Church Parramatta” which gave her the marriage applications of two of her convictancestors in 1827.CLICK HERE TO VIEW APPLICATION EXAMPLE
    This source gives information of both parties i.e. Name,Age, Widower, Widow, batchelor or spinster, Ship arrived by, Year ofArrival, Sentence, Free or Bond, Present service, Character, Remarks.Joan was directed to this material originally from an index created by Joan Reece. 신용카드현금화

    Elizabeth Roberts was able to supply the information that she found some marriagespertaining to her Catholic convict ancestors which are not registered in thetraditional BDM’s index, from the State Records Office in NSW. She found theoriginal applications and a letter from the officiating minister confirmingthe marriage took place.

    Susan Perrett kindly supplied the information that she obtained her convictancestor’s application to marry under a series titled “An Abstract of all Licences for Marriages granted from 17th March 1813 to 26th December 1827” as extracted from the book of “British Planation Registry” and “Licences for Marriage”. (State Library of NSW)Reported by AONSW to be a list of marriages for free persons..but??.

    Jill Roy, the respected NSW researcher, was able to tell me that there is a series of records at the State Records of New South Wales, titledRegisters of Convict’s Applications to marry – Dec 1825 to Feb 1851..This series (ref no 713-715) is in two sections – those granted and those refused – and gives name, date, ship,sentence, free or bond, clergyman ( info varies with time period) SRNSW Reels 713 to 715

    Lesley Uebel has produced a CD Index to Convicts Permission to Marry 1826-1851.Lesley quotes her sources in the introduction page of her CD production and isa very useful starting place for tracking a convict’s marriage application. 신용카드현금화

    The State Records Office of New South Wales, keeper of official records in relation to Convicts etc.
    http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/
    They note that one of the main sources for marriage applications is to use theonline INDEX TO COLONIAL SECRETARY’S PAPERS 1788-1825 .

    Also available in the reading rooms is the TD Mutch index to births, deaths and marriages, 1787-1957, Reels 2125-2129 The index is believed to cover all existing birth death and marriage records for NSW between 1787-1828, except for the Newcastle Register and the Methodist Church records, and selected records to 1957.

    One can also view their Index to Convict Marriage Banns, 1826-41, Fiche 5270-5277 or try the Registers of convicts� applications to marry, 1825-51, CGS 12212, Fiche 780-802

    The Archives also has Returns of applications for the publications of banns, 1828-41, CGS 905, Reels 2192, 716-739, 827, 2210, 2215 (28 reels).This seriesmay well hold information in relation to convicts, as John Sheehy aka Keane marriedCatherine Fogarty in 1832, by Banns. They were both still convicts.The archives does not stipulate if this series is for free persons or convicts (or both).

    It is not known if marriage applications/rejections are to be found in Copies of letters sent re convicts, 6 Oct 1826-18 May 1855, CGS 962, Reels 1041-1055, 2649-50 (17 reels) held at the State Library of NSW. 신용카드현금화

  • AN IRISH EMIGRANT – 1864

    The Irish Emigrant in New York

    Dec 2 1864

    The special correspondant of the ‘Daily News’ in New York in his last communication deals principally with the alledged outrages committedon emigrants arriving in that city 출장마사지

    While he does not deny such outrages are committed,he does say that thenumber of them is an exceedingly small proportion to the totalnumber of arrivals and that it is absurd to suppose they will have anysensible effect on emigration:-
    “The danger of shipwreck is a much more formidable one than the chanceof being kidnapped in New York, and yet the chance of being drowned at sea will never induce the mass of Irishmen to starve and wear ragsat home when they can get good food and clothes here.
    I admit that a laborer with a family,even if he recieves two dollars a day and his board, is still,even here,poor, and has to suffer, but of wantsuch as he has to endure in the Old World he runs no risk;constant employment he is sure of, and his children are almost certain,if they behave tolerably well, to rise in the social scale. 출장마사지
    It is this which,after all, lends to America one of the greatest charmsin the eyes of the poor emigrants.
    Men and women are not a drug in this market, everything is possible here to industry and intelligence.
    Nothing,therefore,that you can say of the defects of the government willever persuade the poorest hod-carrier who lies down in a New York tenementhouse that he, or ‘any won belongin to him’ would bet better off in a Connaught cabin, on three meals of potatoes a day,children growing upin an ancient proffession of beggars,and the poor house looming up onhis horizon as a shelter for his old age.
    He sees men in prominent positions at the bar, on the bench,thrivingmerchants,shopkeepers and farmers on all sides,officers high in therank of the army,whose fathers he is told came from Germany or Irelandas poor as he. 출장마사지
    He walks up 5th Avenue and sees a score of mansions owned by men who arewell known to have laboured in early life with their hands, and probablythinks that if he only gave up the whiskey’bad luck to it’,he mightdo as well himself.So you can’t get him to wish himself back,you can’tprevent him writing to his friends that they had better come too, andthey will come,though the “Times” and “Freemans journal” warned themever so much of the horrors that await them on this side.
    It is wonderful how easy it seems in London for an Irishman to livecalmly in Tipperary for a shilling a day,and wonderful what an effectAmerican horrors,more than all the others, are supposed to be likely tohave on an Irish imagination.A simple flogging in the English Army is a spectacle far more shockingto the heroes than all the ‘drugging’ and gagging put together thathas been done by Federal recruiting agents since the war began.
    Thousands of Irish Soldiers have had their backs publicly torn with thecat within the last 50 years,and the Irish press has published hundredsof accounts of it, and denunciations of it, and yet it is not generallysupposed that this has prevented any large number of Irishmen fromenlisting for a ‘shilling a day’ minus ‘stoppages’.
    The sound advice to give Irishmen is not to stop at hime in misery, but tocome out here if they can, and when they get here to listen to the adviceof the COMMISSIONERS OF EMIGRATION, who take charge of them on their arrival, and act upon it, and not to go wandering through the streets,drinking with the first man they meet.Nobody need fall into the hands ofthe recruiting sharks who is possessed of the ordinary amount of common sense and discretion. 출장마사지
    There is no law imposing any conscription or public service upon them ofany description, and the demand for labour is enormous and daily increasing.
    Every possible precaution is taken by the commissioners of Emigration toprotect new arrivals.No ‘touter’ or ‘loafer’ or bounty broker is allowed to enter the buildings atCastle Garden.On arrival of a shipload of emigrants they are addressed by the agents ofthe board in the building, and carefully informed of their legal rightsand privilages,and advice and information are freely supplied with regardto all routes and fares. 출장마사지
    But that enlistment is encouraged by the officials I think there isno doubt.Large placards are posted up round the building stating theamount of bounty paid to recruits entering the army and navy,and if anyone wants to enlist he gets all reasonable aid.But there is complete protection for every man who chooses to availhimself against all violence and outrage.

  • A Selection of Letters Written by HLB Lasseter during his working stay in Canberra (March 1926-early 1927)

    HLB Lasseter worked in Canberra between March 1926 and the early months of 1927. He lived in Northbourne Camp as a “single” man until joined by his wife, son and new baby in December 1926 at which time he moved to a self built cottage at Russell Hill where the family remained until leaving the territory. He was one of the men who worked towards the establishment of the Australian Natives Association in Canberra and was a hardworking member of the Social Service Association. This organisation was responsible for building tennis courts, children’s playgrounds etc etc. Lasseter also worked as a carpenter on the weatherboards in the suburb of Ainslie. 출장안마

    Following is one of the letters written by LHB Lasseter to Joe Honeysett, Social Service Association Secretary. [Australian Archives, Canberra CP69/9 Bundle 2/12/6]. It is one of many. It was not published by Honeysett in the local workmen’s magazine The Canberra Community News. Honeysett, who from his letters in the archives, liked Lasseter, warned him that this letter could cause trouble for him.

    Northbourne Camp, Canberra 22.7.26

    Mr Honeysett

    Social Service Officer

    Canberra Capital Commission

    Dear Sir:- As I understand that my advocacy of independence for Australia has incurred the displeasure of those in

    Authority; May I be permittied to state my reasons for wishing this. 출장마사지

    The “powers that be” of recent years in England do not seem to get a proper grasp of Australia’s needs and aspirations and have perpetuated a series of blunders that have been very detrimental to Australia’s welfare.

    Suppose we trace Britain’s Foreign policy since 1873. In that year Russia officially suggested to G B that Great Britain and Russia divide Asia into two spheres of influence along the 37th parallel of Latitude. This proposal was turned down by GB because it would allow Russia an ice free port and outlet from the Black sea. GB backed Turkey instead.

    A generation later the same proposal was renewed by Russia. Again it was turned down by GB which in this instance backed Japan.

    Now I take it as poor business policy for a grocer to subsidize another man to start in opposition to him in the same business and this is exactly what Britain did.

    Britain and Japan are both nations that have top rely on commerce and industry for their existence and it was very poor policy for Britain to subsidize Japan in a war against a nation that was the biggest producer of raw materials on Earth, and will be again. These raw materials are just what Britain needs to keep her industries going, and if she would just agree to cancel the Russian debt to her today and establish friendly relations again, she would get the money ten times over in trade, and what nation or group of nations would dare to bark if England and Russian spoke together.

    Today Japan is spending 64% of her total revenue on her navy. Is she doing this for a joke. Japan today is in the same position as England was in the days of Queen Elizabeth, a rich and ambitious nobility and an ignorant proletariat.

    Land hungry and ambitious, she is forced by economic pressure to seek and outlet for her overcrowded population, and looks to Australia as that outlet. 출장마사지

    In 1905 Baron Tukahira, Japanese minister to Washington, and John Hay, American Secretary of State, met at the Clifton Springs Sanitarium to discuss the school question as affecting Japanese in California. I happened to be in a position to overhear the entire conversation, and these are almost the exact words of Baron Tukahira, “Let America keep free from entangling alliances with a European power, and she need never fear a conflict with Japan. What have we got to hope for in fighting America. We must transport our troops 4,000 miles over the ocean and land on an iron-bound coast, where there are only two good harbors, both well fortified, and we must make this landing good in the face of a navy of at least equal if not superior to our own and then if we succeed in landing we must fight our way over the most rugged mountain range on Earth to make our landing secure. And we must do this in the face of a nation of twice our numbers, and immeasurably superior in the manufacture and transport of munitions and all that goes to the prosecution of a successful war – While no further away lied an empty continent just as rich in potentialities”—

    He didn’t need to say another word as there was only one country that filled the bill and that was Australia.

    That Japan is a serious rival to GB is recognized at the Bradford Wool Sales in 1923. When the chairman of the stock exchange sounded a note of warning.

    Today Japan has a 99 year lease on a harbor in the New Caledonia and although it is nominally a sulphur lease – a crane with a lifting capacity of 150 tons is installed there. This harbor is only 1200 miles from Sydney.

    When Australia recognised the need for defence she sent to England for an expert to plan naval Bases etc and we paid Admiral Henderson 15000 pounds good Australian money to advise us to elect suitable sites for naval bases. Result he located two bases on the south coast of Australia and we spent 2,000,000 pounds in perpetuating this blunder. What do we need with a naval base on the south of Aussie. We are not going to be attacked from the south pole. One of the first essentials is a naval base is that it must be as near as possible to the scene of probable hostilities commensurate with safety. – If any attack comes to Australia it will come from the north and in the event of Japan attacking her objective will be Sydney. Instead of fortifying Sydney as it should be – with 18 inch guns – our Britain controlled defence department is talking of fortifying King George Sound and other ports on the South Coast. Jellicoe, the cautious, even went as far as to recommend moving the naval base 600 miles further south – to Hobart. – Now in the event of War with Japan, and indications point that way, our best hope is the American fleet. This fleet needs to be assured of an efficient and well protected base, where it can refit etc. Fancy expecting it to travel an extra 2000 miles to scrape its bottoms.

    The best place geographically speaking – for a naval base to defend Australia is Townsville, on the Queensland Coast. It is well protected in all weathers, has the Great Barrier Reef as a natural breakwater for its first line of defence, 1300 miles long, and there are only three gaps where a big ship can get thro in this reef and these can be defended by submarines and mines. The high rugged country at the back of Townsville is its best security on the land side and with a good equipment of anti aircraft guns could be rendered impregnable and there is ample depth of water to enable a floating dock to operate to receive the biggest ship afloat and also this Townsville is connected by rail with the rest of Aussie.

    Again in the lay out of the Flinder’s Naval Base a tough of lunacy show thro’ the oil reservoir is situated on a slight rise and surrounded by the war room, wireless room, Power House, Boat shed and Hospital -one shell dropped into this oil reservoir, or a bomb from a aeroplane would put the base out of business.

    Two millions have been wasted there and yet there is not even a slipway to haul up a destroyer on. The “Australia” had to lie 3 miles out at sea.

    The Singapore Naval Base may protect the Borneo oil fields but with Marshall Isles New Caledonia transformed into Japanese Naval Bases will not be of much assistance to Australia.

    I think we should have our flag. We had our own distinctive postage stamp once, were we any less loyal to Britain on that account. We cut ourselves off from the best supply of immigrants and lost 60,000 of our best men in helping England out of a scrap which we had no say so in bringing about; and on top of this we are billed with 400,000,00 pounds for that privilege.

    In short we are grown up now and want to set up a house of our own. If England will not form an alliance with Russia and America we should be able to do so. This alliance would be the best security for a world peace and I am an earnest advocate of it.

    Yours

    click here! for Victoria references
     Please remember that Vic was originally little more than
     the southern boundary of New South Wales, so records pre 1851
     for natives will be listed in both NSW & Vic records.....
     in 1851 Vic seperated from NSW and became a colony of its own so
     when going through early records of Victoria look under titles such as 
    	"Australia Felix", "Western Port", "Port Phillip"
            "Portland Bay district"  etc.
    and look in records such as Chief Protectorate, Police Records,
    Survey Dept etc as these departments were responsible for many
    different duties that might have resulted in recording current
    affairs and people of the time.
