Thankyou to Ruth Calvert for the information on Caroline Louisa Calvert.............(nee Fisher).......she died aged 21 on 17-10-1868....she was the wife of William Thomas Calvert. We had her headstone as  Unknown Caroline Louisa

Many thanks to Chris & Marcia Bell Southampton UK for their information on Edward and Mary Musk Edmund Musk was transported to Van Diemen’s Land in 1832, leaving behind wife Mary (née Taylor) and five children.  He  subsequently changed his name to Edward and was remarried bigamously to Mary (née Hoggins, a free settler) at Hobart Trinity Church – now known as the penitentiary chapel – in 1839.  He and his wife are buried at St Barnabas at South Arm.   We have been in touch with some of Edmund/Edward’s descendants for over thirty years so have jointly been able to piece together the family history on both sides of the world.    There was quite a substantial gravestone at St Barnabas, complete with a memorial plaque to Edward and Mary and surmounted by a  short obelisk.   A few years ago falling boughs from one of the Macrocarpa pines (since felled) at the front of the graveyard caused considerable damage. The obelisk fell down and now lies on the ground while the plaque detached and shattered.   The Tasmanian family have recently had a replacement plaque made and while we there this was temporarily placed by the memorial ahead of being fixed in place of the original.  We attached photos of the remains of the original plaque and the surviving gravestone with the replacement plaque.

In every instance -we hope- we have provided a direct link to the owners web site. We do not claim rights or ownership to any of their information. We do thank them sincerely for their efforts. We have in every instance made a good faith effort to contact and request 'reprint' permission. Nonetheless, we do want to be certain that nothing gets lost due to web site disappearanceand the like, so it appears duplicated here.
