If you can find court info. for the day, these names may help deciding if this is your man.

Hi from Australia. Nearly midday here, late starting today.

RE the death info I found, Windsor is on the outskirts of Sydney, NSW

If Sarah came to find her father, she was looking in all the wrong states.

I will have another look for info. using the other surnames which you supplied.
As yet I have not even been able to find his transcription records.


EDIT... I have checked out all other variations of the name and no luck.
There was 2 deaths of a Thomas BRAGG, but I do not think either is your man

V1840909 24A/1840 BRAGG THOMAS AGE 55
V1851660 37B/1851 BRAGG THOMAS AGE 47

Is there any awake from Australia yet?

I have returned after a frustrating trip. Stow in the Wold library was shut, Gloucester archives 50 miles away was shut and I have to return home tomorrow. Evenlode sits on the borders of four counties and there are records in each.

Thanjs to all who have added so far. I have the family details but have just found out he was deported. He was christened 06/07/1782 at Evenlode.


"1819 admitted to Gloucester prison farm labourer aged 24. Sentenced in August of that year and deported for life on the ship Neptune 1 to New South Wales in Australia"

comes from a local book called Glimpses of Evenlode giving the story of the families in the village and how things like Enclosure affected the people.

It is a tiny village and my family were the uneducated labourers.

I am unable to find the death of Hester Braginton his wife or find out how she managed with three young children. Their was no workhouse.

Is Windsor in Australia Julie? Does that mean he made it as I understand conditions on that ship were not great.

Braginton is one of the worse names fo mistranscription I have ever come across

Examples include Bragenton Brag Brock Brockington Bragman Brackinton Bragynton and Bryanston.

His daughter also went to Australia presumably to look for him.

Sarah arrived by the ship "Lord William Bentnick in 1844, as she could read and paid 18pounds 4s for fare and was going to work in Melbourne,Victoria Australia for a
Mr James Montgomery for 12pounds a year with rations,she only stayed 3months and was next found on the Schooner "Hawk" bound for Adelaide South Australia.

I have checked for any further info on any Bragginton in Australia and can not find anyone !!

There was a Frederick and fanny having children in the 1880's but they moved to New Zealand

I checked the electoral roll... Not ONE is listed ! !
I can not check in South Australia, so maybe some in there.

You title states that he was born 1782, but your openning sentence puts his birth about 1795 ???

Found this, though his age is 'off'
But ... who gave his age ? ? ?

searched deaths for the last name BRAGGINTON in the years 1820 to 1900

Death...
Reg.No./Year .. 5767/1858
Name .. BRAGGINTON THOMAS
AGE 80 YEARS DIED WINDSOR
District .. WINDSOR

Australian death certificates usually have a lot of extra info. Not sure about theses very early ones though.

Also, the amount of info would depend on the informants knowledge.

I may not get back to this until tonight as I am visiting Evenlode today.

1819 admitted to Gloucester prison farm labourer aged 24. Sentenced in August of that year and deported for life on the ship Neptune 1 to New South Wales in Australia.

BRAGGINTON, Thomas. Per "Neptune", 1820

http://colsec.records.nsw.gov.au/indexes/colsec/b/F06c_br-bri-05.htm
1820 Jul 28
On list of convicts disembarked from the "Neptune" & forwarded to Upper Minto for distribution (Reel 6007; 4/3502 p.158)

The Neptune I arrived in Sydney Harbour on 17 July 1820 with 156 convicts on board after 114 days.

He left behind a wife and yong children. Can anyone tell me what became of him?
