Hi Julia,

I think Henry may turn up in 1861 with a wife Comfort, they marry in 1862, I can't see this man prior to this, so maybe he went away too??? Not sure where though;

So Elizabeth Millard is NOT Thomas and Elizabeth Millards child!!!!

Oh my God!!!! loving the criminal in the family!!! what a find Dee! was this information from Ancestry.co.uk? I wonder what she stole???? and it wasn't the first time!!!

Maybe Henry was in prison as well!! oh my god what a family, good old Henry may have been a silk thief.

The census information is fantastic, they must have been looking after her while her mum was in prison!

How jucy!! got to go and tell my mum!!

Thank you x

Julia

Now Daniel and William Millard are registered at Bath for their births and the dates would be correct with the 1841 census, however the only Elizabeth Millard registered is;

This would be after the 1841 census ............. looking more and more like Elizabeth Bulger has become a Millard????

Normally the ages of the children descend from the eldest to the youngest, and then guests, visitors etc... normally after them, so could this be a cousin?

New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia, Convict Pardons and Tickets of Leave, 1834-1859
about Caroline Bulger
Name: Caroline Bulger
Vessel: Tasmania
Piece: HO 10/62
Province: Tasmania
Title: Pardons
Year(s): 1852-1853
Place of Conviction: Bath

11th April 1844 is stated when she was convicted which ties in with the above sentencing. Caroline did 9 years and 2 months of her sentence.



This is her coming back.

Now I can't see your Caroline after the 1841 census............ so is this the reason why??? And would Henry maybe change his name???

I'm sorry Julia I still can't see anything for Elizabeth or Henry Bulger.

I'm wondering whether Henry Bulger was her "saving face" father......... the Sandalls of realitively good stock and she may have been illegitemate??? Therefore a father who was a silk merchant would have put her on a level pegging in the class stakes??

This is just my theory though, I'm really hoping that someone else will pop in and say "there you go" and prove me wrong.

All the best, dee x

Could be Millard, the writing is hard to read x

Thanks Dee,

Fantastic, yes you would be right as all the Sandall men down the line were cabinet makers!

I appreciate you looking, thank you.

Julia
