Thread: Looking for Prosser or Corrigans from Middlesex

Ann STRIPLING q1 1847 East London 2 225

WOW !! Now there is a possibility Never thought to look under Stripling. Maybe she wasn't Thomas' daughter and thats maybe why she never joined her sisters when they came to Australia

Most probably

I will leave it there, the football hi lites have finished so it is time to make the supper...will look further and for the PROSSERS later.

I reckon you will be hard pushed to find a father Thomas ( as in part of CORRIGAN) STRIPLING!

Old dear you done it again )

Hmmm.....doubt thats her now I just read the poems he wrote while in gaol. He called his eldest child "Jane"...yet the Orphanage called her Sara A. He wrote poems and the Forresters Society made a small booklet with them and sold it for 5p to help with the cost of keeping the girls in the Orphanage. When we visited the Forresters Society in Southampton we actually saw the only surviving copy of the booklet....it was so gorgeous to see. Is there anyway I can post a file on here ? I will post a thread on Prosser now....thanks so much Elsabels
