Sentence Date 9 Mar 1848...................from earlier post on here

Sorry, Jane, but George is not related to you..............you can only follow the Taylor line beyond William

Elizabeth was baptised 17/11/1822. Father William, mother Elizabeth

1841 census records their birth years as 1776 and 1786 respectively, but…….remember that in 1841 ages of over-15’s were routinely rounded down to nearest 5.

George's wife and family in 1851.........no help with his whereabouts, obviously.

I doubt very much that you will be able to find any info about him, unless you obtain a copy of his death cert, which should have an address at least.

Hi Cherilyn & Linda

A big thank you for all the news about John(George) Herring,who is definitely my ancestor.

Can you please find out what happened to him in Australia,where he lived until his death in 1891?

Cheers

George died in 1891 aged 72 (reg 599). Can't see his wife or child, perhaps they did not join him. Possible she remarried in UK.

His description on Perth dps states he was single, with one child. He was a miller by trade, 5' 7.5", light brown sandy hair, blue eyes, oval face, fair skin, sandy whiskers.

Hashemy was the 2nd of 37 shiploads of male convicts to WA.
