MISSING FRIENDS & CONVICTS... Trove Tuesday 6th Apr 2021

 





So many people went missing, men and women, free settlers and convicts. These notices give incredibly detailed descriptions, some addresses, age, height, complexion, possible alternate names for some.. sometimes relatives names... clothes they were wearing and date they were last seen. 

It must have been heartbreaking for families and friends.. Some are listed as having been found... but very few in comparison. 

Even some convicts were listed as missing. Now that I can understand.
Have you any ancestors listed as missing?
