Early Australian Dolmans
Early Australian Dolmans / Dolemans
Mrs. Kerrie O'Hagan mentions in email that a Stephen Doulman/Dolman/Doleman was born c 1812 she thinks near Bathurst NSW. This is very early for Australia and is perhaps of convict origin. He married Julie O'Neill/Neill in Bathurst in 1841. They had two children Sarah Ann and Charles. Julia's father was a convict.
On NSW BDM- A Stephen Doleman V 181222268 16ZB/1812 was born to George Doleman and Eliza. He seems to be the only child to these parents. George died 1857 V 18576358 - 122A/1857 ( question: was George convict or free?)
A George Doleman no: 4349 Convicted at Devizes 5 August 1854 -aged 19 at trial -wounding with intent to murder. Arrived in Western Australia as convict on
"Clara". He was a farm labourer-single-no children, 5' '7", dark brown hair, hazel eyes with oval face and dark complexion, middling stout-no distinguishing marks
A George Doleman convict arrived " Lord Lyndock" 1833 Certificate of Freedom 30 October 1846 (NSW Govt Archives Web site)
Thomas Dolman convict arrived per " Mangles" 1824 : on list of convicts forwarded to Bathurst ( NSW) for distribution ( Reel 6013; 4/3512 p 648) 27 Nov 1824 on list of men at Stock Establishment at Bathurst.( NSW Govt Archives web site)

Edward Dollman 1859

The Edward (? James) Dollman is probably my g grandfather
who came to Australia about that time-possibly steerage
as no ship found. The George Dolman may help someone
trace their family off shore.
