CONVICT PARDONS Trove Tuesday 22nd Jun 2021

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. 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.
