MISSING FRIENDS.. TROVE TUESDAY 16 JUN 2020







The following notices are from 


New South Wales Police Gazettes

sometimes published as 

New South Wales Police Gazette and Weekly Record of Crime

however, they do mention some names of missing friends 
from other states. 

The descriptions are mostly very informative, often not only giving a physical description, but occupation, last known address, sometimes possible whereabouts, etc. They often mention family as well.

I'm always saddened to read of so many missing children.
What were their stories, why did they disappear? Were they abducted, were they mistreated or were they simply looking for a better life? 

It's a relief when you read that a child has been found, though not always in the best of circumstances.

TICKETS OF LEAVE-CANCELLED Trove Tuesday 18th Feb 2020




Public Domain

Tickets of leave* were highly prized, but there were conditions... and they could be cancelled for many reasons... 

TROVE has many articles about them, when they were awarded and when they were cancelled. Some of these announcements give quite a lot of detail about the convicts, even down to what ship they arrived on, so it's worth looking through them to add to the story... most give the reason for the cancellation of the ticket. Some interesting reasons...

You can also find most of these if you search through Government Gazettes, also available through TROVE.
