Transportation to Australia

Jellybaby_1

Unfortunately there is still no way to search a forum for any previous posts on a particular subject so apologies if this has already been added. Anyway, I just came across this by accident if anyone is interested. It's a list of 'convicts' sentenced to transportation to Australia. I just skimmed the introduction but noticed it states records are of course incomplete due to some having been lost in 1922, also a reminder that a sentence of transportation is not actual proof of transportation. Quite a list of names.

Thanks Jellybaby, that seems a great resource .... I dont seem able to do a 'thanks' at end of your post.

Thanks, I've tried that a few times but honestly, the old way had better results when I could just search a particular forum.

I agree it's far from ideal.
