CONVICT BURIALS .. Trove Tuesday 19th Sep 2023

 

Convicts sent to Australia have played a large part in Australian History. They were sent to New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia some years later. South Australia wasn't keen on having them, though some did end up there.. a story for another time. 

The article below are just a few to recognise the number of convicts buried in Australia. Further links are added at the end of this page.

CONVICT PARDONS Trove Tuesday 12th Sept 2023

 

Did your ancestral convict get a pardon? All states that had convicts sent to them also granted pardons to some convicts. Some were conditional, some were absolute. There were also some offers of rewards offered... the amount did vary, according to the level of crimes committed or in some cases, behaviour of the convict while imprisoned.

The following clippings are selected from the numerous posts that are available through TROVE. 

You can also find many more entries by using the search bar at the end of this page to read previous posts I have compiled re Convict Pardons.
