Headlines of Old

absconded convicts ..selected between 1836 - 1929, great details re physical appearance, occupation, ship of arrival, Trove Tuesday 10th Nov 2020…numerous names…

Note: many names are quite common…e.g. do check with other sites, as to what ship they came on, or any other variables.  Also take into consideration that there were some that returned to their home, then back to Australia…so you may find that they were on more than one ship.

Feel free to share.. the title is the link…
