The following is in response to a query that I sent to Gwen Gregan, in Victoria, Australia. None of these Ollises have been linked to the Boston Ollis Family Tree.

Dear Prentis,

Re your guerie on the OLLIS name I am sending the OLLIS sheets I have plus the census for 1841, 1851. I don't know a great deal more about the OLLIS family. Susannah Ollis married Alfred Jenkins and they came to Melbourne on the "Commodore Perry" leaving Liverpool, England on 28 May 1859 and arriving in Melbourne on 25 August 1859.

I'm also enclosing a copy of Ollis names from the 1881 Census.

This census has been indexed 4 ways..

1. Surname
2. Birthplace
3. Census Place
4. As Enumerated. (The family and who they lived with.)
Note: To get to the Enumerated from these quote numbers in right hand side (references).
If you think any of those Ollis names may be yours and you are unable to get a copy of this census please quote the numbers and I will get you a copy of the Enumerated ones.

Yours sincerely,

Gwen Gregan

Thanks for the info on the Internet. I can have access through Deaken University, but I have not as yet tried my hand at it. If I get any other info will let you have it.

NOTES:

The census for 1841 was taken on 6 June 1841 and ages were rounded off to the nearest 5. So ages would not be accurate.

In 1851 the census was taken on the 30 March and more accurate information was given.

Susanna was married in 1852 on May 30th, at St Mary's Bitton to Alfred Jenkins.

The name Ollis appears as a Christian name in many generations on the Jenkins side of the family.
