RETURN OF ASSIGNMENTS OF MALE CONVICTS Trove Tuesday 31 Jan 2023

 

Did your ancestral convicts return to their families..

maybe they are listed in the following pages...

They include names, sometimes place returned to, sometimes relationship, occupation/trade...

The following posts are a combination of those who returned convicts assigned to them, convicts who were assigned, and others who were transferred from one situation to another.

If you find a connection, we would love to hear their story.

You can possibly trace your familiar convict name via TROVE and also through one of my favourite sites

CONVICT RECORDS

https://convictrecords.com.au

e.g. Thomas Arkell     Onboard Neptune, Scarborough and Surprize December, 1789 arriving at New South Wales

If you are able to add details about your convict ancestors to this site, 

Convict Records

it may help you to perhaps find more descendants. 

This page will explain the criteria for having convicts on a property.

PERSONALS & LOCAL NEWS Trove Tuesday 24th Jan 2023

 

Personals can be a great source of information, much of which you might never have considered. There may be guest lists at weddings, or a 21st or even a funeral.. You may find where that missing person moved to, or what happened to them. There are often clues about families who are related .. previously unknown to you. 

Don't dismiss an area because you have never thought there could be a connection. Also, consider names that are spelt differently. I know it's very hard to believe, but there are sometimes errors in reports.
