Headlines of Old

Trove Tuesday 21st June 2022, ABSCONDED CONVICTS

great descriptions and lots of details, also lists of runaways apprehended….

EXTRA: list of all previous Absconded Convicts posts… I was contacted recently and asked why I didn't do more posts re Absconded Convicts as the reader said that he had checked the 

" few " I had done and there was no mention of his convict ancestor.

For the record.. this post will be the 20th blog I have compiled including Absconded Convicts.

Stay safe and well.
This will pass.
