    Post Hugh Crabtree Convict to Australia

    Still chasing my wonderfully interesting Crabtree Family
    Hugh was convicted as a Rebel in the 1798 Uprising in Carlow. He lived in Kilcullen County Kildare. He left Cork per the Anne 1 in 1800 and in 1801 arrived at Port Jackson. He was given a conditional pardon in 1804 although he had been sentenced for Life. He farmed on the Parramatta River. He married in Australia to a woman named Wilson who was also convicted out of county Armagh - what she did I know not. What I am desperately trying to trace are his children left behind in Ireland. I believe that his eldest Francis born 1783 married in Dublin and I believe his youngest Mary Crabtree born 1797 married in Kildare and am awaiting her marriage certificate. It is the other children I am trying to find viz:
    John Crabtree born 1787
    James Crabtree born 1789
    Margaret Crabtree born 1793
    Hugh Crabtree born 1797.
    If they left Ireland they may just appear in the 1843 Census.
    Sadly I can find no further record for John James Margaret or Hugh on any site in Ireland and I have exhausted every record. Behind him Hugh Snr left a wife Margaret Bagnor. I can find no record of their marriage and can only find one link to a Bagnor in Kildare. Any help on my lovely family would be absolutely wonderful. They may have gone to US or Australia or Canada but I have searched the world and cannot find any of these darlings.
    Anyone who might have access to any records and might have a quick look for these lovelies I would be very appreciative.
    Thank you - you have been so helpful in the past.
    Best wishes

    Hi Drowning, the only Crabtrees getting married that I can find in the NSW BDM's between 1790 and 1850 are
    John Crabtree & Jane Quinn married 1849 at St John's Church of England Parramatta,
    and Isaac Crabtree & Caroline Buejot married 1837 at St James' Church of England Sydney.
    Also Elizabeth Crabtree & William Beal married 1826 at St John's Church of England Parramatta,
    and Ann Crabtree & James Kirkwood married 1849 at the Presbyterian church Kangaroo Point, Moreton Bay,
    (now in Queensland.)
    Hugh.

    Thank you for your help. I do have these marriages but I doubt they are related. I am trying to find if any of the children went to UK and show up int he 1841 Census. I appreciate your help.

    Hiya,
    Maybe the mother Margaret remarried (as some the children were still very young) and the children used the new hubby's name??
    Just an idea,,
