Find Ancestors

Blimey! This chap was a real career criminal, not a very good one judging by the number of times he was in and out of prison. Still can't find him in 1901/11, but he had so many aliases he could be hiding anywhere.

Thanks to all for their hard work and contributions to this thread.

Andy

is that Cornelius in the 1901 census I posted in the work house

(wonder if Cherilyn would find anything more, might be worth a try!)

Chris :)

Have now found Susan/Susannah in 1901 under her maiden name of Crossley. No sign of Cornelius, yet. Turning into quite a saga chasing this branch, more criminality than the rest of my tree.


Andy

This is the 1911 for Cornelius, so can rule him out

Cornelius Crossley 57
Mary Ellen Crossley 55
Beatrice Crossley 19

Re the 1894 marriage posted by Malyon -

William Henry Hemingway married Martha Ann (in 1911 she calls herself Ruth Ann), so that Cornelius must have married Susan.

Thanks to everyone. Some great info here.

Perhaps you should buy the 1922 death cert, Andy, just to rule it out (or in!)

Extremely long shot! Probably not relevant , but will post in case.

Edits

All of these men were Imperial Convicts sent to Western Australia and when they had received their Certificate of Freedom or Conditional Pardon, all moved to Newcastle NSW The Colonial Secretary of Western Australia sent to the Colonial Secretary of NSW a full convict history of the first to arrive in 1873, including their original place of trial, native place and a physical description.
