Nothing here I could see, http://search.ancestry.co.uk/Places/Africa/South-Africa/Default.aspx Thanks Bert. Could you find any mention of them after 1871? Since he was from Scotland, she was from Ireland (and the kids were born there), I wonder if they were just passing through Liverpool. If they s...

FindMyPast, and consequently FamilySearch, have it as Moughan; it's quite clearly Monaghan in the image though.

I'm trying to find more information about the CORRY family of 108 Latimer Street, Liverpool. I found, in the 1871 Census, Alexander and Elizabeth Corry and their two sons Joseph (9) and James (4). Alexander lists his place of birth as Edinburgh, Scotland while Elizabeth lists hers (and her two sons'...

An update! I've received, from the Liverpool Records Office, a copy of the parchment that details Henry James Hanford's misdemeanor. It seems he had pretended to be the Commander of the Schooner Margaret (in the possession of Isaac Oldham Bold) and had engaged the services of a certain Nicholas Harr...

Maybe he was involved in other dubious affairs and after being caught once did a runner to avoid being caught. That's exactly what I'm trying to determine; why he would abandon, so suddenly, his wife with child. Henry mentioned in his letter, November 1846, that he was in partnership, in South Afri...

I'm not, but always interested in new records, are these available on the National Archives site? When I enquired, via email to the NA, they responded with a link to this document: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/records/ifa-criminals-and-prisoners.pdf This article on NA's website indi...

I've just been reading about Criminal trials in the English assize courts 1559-1971 . Lancashire Crown & Gaol Books 1524-1843 PL 25 1686-1877 PL 28 Indictments 1660-1867 PL 26 1877-1971 ASSI 51 Depositions 1663-1867 PL 27 1877-1971 ASSI 52 Other: PL 28 ASSI 46 ASSI 53 ASSI 93 ASSI 86 Seems like PL26...

Right, so 5 years meant 5 years 5 weeks :lol: :oops: My apologies; that's what happens when you comment seconds after waking up! Nonetheless, 5 weeks meant 5 weeks? So that's from the Criminal Register HO 27; Piece: 73; Page: 145? I wonder if there is a way to get more information about the trial i...

Could he have been transported to the Cape? No. He got just 5 weeks imprisonment. It's probable that Perry and Wright were on the same indictment. Perry got 9 months, Wright was found not guilty. Right, so 5 years meant 5 years. I wish I knew why he left his wife, with child, so suddenly. In 1844, ...

Could this be him? Criminal Register Name: Henry James Hanford Age: 24 Date of Trial: 22 Jul 1844 Offence: Uttering counterfeit coin Location of Trial: Liverpool Boro', Lancashire, England Sentence: 5 weeks Imprisonment Looking at the register page. I think the offence was fraud. I can't see anythi...

Would that mean January 1st, 1840? Or January 1st, 1839? Not quite sure what to make of "1st of January last".

Just found this in the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick: Date: February 24 1844 County: Saint John Place: Saint John Newspaper: New Brunswick Courier The language of the text is the original used in the newspaper entry and as transcribed by Daniel F. Johnson. Records acquired by the Provincial A...

Thank you, I've contacted Evelyn Beran and will let you know if anything comes of it.

What an incredible response! Thank you all so much. Hi and welcome to the forum. Wonderful story with a lot of research put into it. Thank you; I've spent a fair amount of time researching this, including primary documents from the Cape Archive. I just haven't been able to learn more about Henry Jam...

Hi and Welcome, A few obits from the Liverpool Mercury, Oct 15, 1856. http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t622/bertieone/lm1856_zpshz8x17oh.jpg Quite sad that Clarissa Anne Hanford died so young. I can't help but wonder whether, had Henry James Hanford been present, she would have been better cared...

Greetings Everyone, I've been referred here by Barbara Lee from Crosby, UK. I'm researching the Hanford family of Liverpool. Specifically, that of Isaac Charles Hanford (Master Mariner) and Margaret Pye (daughter of John Bridge Pye, Musician/Music Seller of Liverpool) married 15 Jul 1813 at St. Pete...
