Re: [lace] Genealogist?

[Brenda Paternoster]

A quick look at ancestry.co.uk  and findmypast.co.uk
  confirms the UK part.
Convicted at Bedford Assizes summer 1831 for Housebreaking he was initially
sentenced to death, commuted to transportation for life.

LDS Family Search shows that he was born 28 March 1810, baptised at Flitwick
in Bedfordshire on 3 June 1810, son of Aliss and Joseph Dillingham.
The siblings I found easily were Anne born 1798, Millicent born 1800, Joseph
born 1805 and Mary born 1807.  All bapt at Flitwick, but there could have been
more (in an earlier or later register book).

See his gaol record
http://apps.bedford.gov.uk/grd/detail.aspx?id=4700


The Katherine Stewart Forbes arrived Van Demans Land 21 February 1832

The various prison/transportation records in 1831 give his age as 20 and 23,
but it’s not unusual for ages to be slightly out.  The baptism date and the
birth date recorded with the baptism record are much more likely to be
correct.

[lace] Re Richard Dillingham... some good news

[Brian Lemin]

Hello all,

 

I have had a stroke of luck.

 

I have found a "local" genealogist who has actually done some work on him
and he has shared it with me (or will do(!))  Just 100 kms from me.  He has
offered me all the help I need.

 

I can't imagine my luck!

 

Watch this space to be bored with my fanaticism.

 

Just think, if I was a lace maker how I would be hassling you all!!  So do
not encourage me to take it up!  Smile.

 

Brian

Result of a quick and dirty hunt (and therefore not genealogically valid [could
be figments of fancy of the researchers or poorly researched or just copied from
other such sources]):
Richard Dillingham from Bedford, born ca 1811 (or March 1810), Father Joseph
Dillingham, Mother Alice Holmes, siblings listed include sisters Amelia, Harriet
and Anne, brothers James and William [and possibly a Joseph as well].  Caught
housebreaking at age 23.  5'7" tall, stout build, brown hair, sentenced to life
but commuted to transportation for life.  Transported to Tasmania on the
"Katherine Stewart Forbes" , had a friend write home to tell his family that 4
years after arrival he was within a mile of Hobart, drove a cart to market, went
to Victoria after Conditional Pardon and died there at age 65.  Letter home say
he had a daughter in Oz called Anne but not married to the mother.

The member is also a genealogist of some expertise and I am in great need of
help as I try and unravel the English life of "Richard Dillingham"  a
Bedfordshire man sentenced to Transportation in Australia.

My problem is his family and life in England before he was transported. I have
accessed some Bedford sites, that paint a very confusing picture of the man, was
he married or not? Did he have children (illegitimate or not?)
