    Thank you both. The chart (from the University of Alabama)suggests 2nd degree consanguinity is brother/sister or grandparent/grandchild. Something to work on, anyway, as other Slater relationships...

    Good thinking. More complex Latin sites suggest "infantis" is "of a child". So perhaps the godparents of the child were the consanguineous ones, the child's uncle and aunt.

  3. Baptisms Fernyhalgh, Lancs, mysterious Latin

    I am extracting the Slaters from this RC register, in the form of the Catholic Register Society's printed transcription. I can manage the usual Latin but there are some interesting additions to some...

    That looks possible, thanks. The original compiler of the hand-written cards used the whole word "Southland" sometimes, so Westland might be right. My NZ geography isn't very detailed, I'm afraid.

    This was fairly common in various states of the US in the early 20th century, I have even seen it as a throwaway line in old movies. It applied to all marriages, nothing to do with consanguinity. It...

    Thank you, Peanut. I already had that from some of the many contributions above, but not from that source. I think there is a link somewhere in this thread to the full convict list, as well, posted...

    Yes, I did try browsing Chatham, of course, but only found barracks and military hospitals. Somewhere I read that all the hulks were under Woolwich, and I found one, but not the one I wanted.

    I'd like to find Edward Wearden in 1841, after his sentencing in January but before he was received onto the hulk for transportation in August . I...

    Thanks, Megan, for all the info about the various tickets and pardons. It never occurred to me they might have to PAY. What a racket!

    That could be him, well found. Even in England and in the Preston area the surname was frequently mis-spelled. Warden is a common variant. So had he spent two years since his Freedom Cert, working...

    That's interesting - even in 1813 the authorities were besieged with applications and wanted to bring some order.

    But ... since he wasn't a "lifer", pardons shouldn't come into it. There should only be Ticket of Leave and Expiration of Sentence / Free Certiicate. But his timeline still looks reasonable, I think.

    Edward registered the birth of Ann on 24th July 1855, and is on the certificate as her father. Presumably he was home Oct 1854 at the latest.

    Great stuff! That expiration of sentence was in the paper of 28 Aug 1852, which matches the date of the Free Cert 21 Aug 1850-something. So I think that hard-to-read date must be 1852.
