  Notes	William and Catherine lived in Maitland, NSW From Barbara Wyatt Hi Dennis, Thanks for your reply. I would love to read the information you have. William and Catherine had more than 3 children. There was Catherine (your ancestor), Ann (my gggmother), Jacob (who died in infancy), Martha, William, George (died aged 16), Elizabeth (who married the founder of Ashton's Circus), Jane and Carolline (who died aged 10 weeks). W & C were married before coming to Australia and only settled in Maitland when William left his regiment. I was aware of the Kelly connection but would love to chat with you. I am in touch with a cousin (Robyn)closer biologically to you than me. Maybe you have already had contact with her. Cheers, Barbara

• Notes

  Hi My great-great grandmother Catherine Hurley (nee Critchley) married for the 3rd time a John Palmer (stated as being a bachelor from Glen Innes) at the Presbyterian Church Maitland, NSW on the 21st Jan 1852. They later owned a hotel at Tambaroora, near the Hill End goldfields near Mudgee NSW. They had 5 children Sarah Anne b 20 Jan 1853 Eliza b 5 Feb 1855 Archer Money b 1856 ?d 1856 Frederick Moneyb 1859 ?d 1859 Frederick John Money b. 20 March 1862 and later to be postmaster at Bondi & Grafton I would love to know if there's a chance this John Palmer is the same one outlined as coming to Australia, in the forum above....as there is a John D M Palmer in the BDM Index dying at Hill End in 1886 (Father John M & Mother Sarah - I haven't acquired a death certificate to establish family is the same...has anyone else? It would be great to re-establish the Hurley Palmer connection! Regards, in anticipation Kathy From Anne Wilson: ----- Original Message ----- From: "David & Anne Wilson" To: Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 6:14 PM Subject: [PJ] Thomas Thompson Good morning everyone and happy new year to all, I've been a bit quite lately tracing a line of my husband's family who were free settlers and have come to a halt at a gentleman called Thomas Thompson. I would like to find out if Thomas was a convict but as there is little to be read about him I am wondering if anyone may know anything about the Thomas Thompsons who came to the colony in the early 1800's. There were a few of them. My Thomas married a Catherine Critchley in 1831 Newcastle area. Catherine was the daughter of a marine of the 48th Regiment and was born in Tasmania. Thomas died in 1842 in Sydney and a transcript of his death says he was a coloured man. I am assuming this meant he was from the West Indies or Africa and not an Aborigine as from what I have read so far most Aboriginal deaths are recorded that way. I have emailed the person who has claimed a Thomas Thompson on the Claim a Convict site but had no response and am wondering if anyone may be related to the Critchley family who settled in the Maitland area or the Hurley or Palmer families of the same area as poor Catherine Thompson nee Critchley married Farrell Hurley in 1843 after Thomas died but Farrell then died and Catherine married a Mr Palmer and they lived "happily together until Catherine's death. I hope everyone has a successful year of searching and maybe I will get to see some of you at various places that I will be visiting when I come to Sydney in early February. Regards Anne in Townsville
