I can't find a birth/baptism for him In Exeter in the right year so far - just wondering if anybody has any ideas.

MY family - are the Mary and William Holloway with Children called Ellen, George, Jane and Maria (1851 - Mary is transcribed as May) I have the baptisms of these children which confirms address as Alphington Street, Exeter.

I am trying to see if the poor lad Transported is connected somehow -and whether he ever came back.
If anybody has any ideas I'd be grateful/

Thank you -I'll look into this more :-)

His convict record is on line here

https://linctas.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/en_AU/names/search/results?qu=william&qu=holloway&qf=NI_INDEX%09Record+type%09Convicts%09Convicts

He was a bad lad!
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any hint as to his parents' names. though his age is confirmed since he was 16 in 1838.

It is a common enough name, and it's quite obvious that the W.H. transported in 1836 is not the same one as on the 1841 census.

Thank you very much -thats great info

wow just looked at images -fascinating! - still not sure if he's mine - but I will keep searching -thanks for your help

Hi

That conviction record you posted has William as:

Residence: 13 Nov 1836 - Chatham

I doubt he is your family, they were in Exeter

I missed that -
Thanks
Don't know whether to be glad or disappointed!
Very interesting all the same - especially to see the actual logs

(google search can be useful for Convicts sometimes, looks like that one left on Frances Charlotte, for Van Diemen's Land)


(Ancestry covers quite a bit for Convicts, also)
