Could someone please help me trace information on the following children, who I believe were born in Tasmania.. Their mother Elizabeth Stenson was transported to Van Diemans Land. Their father was Thomas Stevens Shackel, a free settler.

Thomas Edmund Shackel 1835
Fanny Stevens Shackel 1835
Sophia Jane 1837
Emily Susan 1840
Louisa Helen 1842
Emma 1848
Elizabeth Ann 1850
John 1852
Isabel 1853

Also George Samuel Leach who was born to Elizabeth out of wedlock.

Sorry it is a list but I do not have access to Australian Records.

regards Val.
