OK Fess up, you convicts

While no relatives on Bob's list, that I am aware of, I do have two convict ancestors that ended up in Hobart Town: Caroline Lewis in 1830 (sentenced to Life for stealing a pair of stays and a handkerchief, though it was her second offence); and John Richards in 1823 (sentenced to 7 years for stealing a bolt of cloth, he was a tailor).

Cheers

None there from my family, being first generation myself.

BUT

I'd like to thank the English for sending this chap:BigThumb::twobeers:

Squires James Kingston 11 April 1785

Baz.

Without going through my Dads family tree, I am not sure if my relatives are on that particular list. Though my Dad has copies of the pardon papers of a female and a male convict. And I am dam proud to be a ?? generation Aussie:D With a little Irish, Scottish and English thrown in:)

Good one, And that is why we hold more world records than just about anyone , for just about any thing, especially beer drinking on an aeroplane flying to England for a cricket match. Must have been NZ beer.
:p

Well I know that I`m from Tassy and a very old family. There is a Barrett on the list which just happens to be my natural sir name as apposed to my adopted sir name. But my adopted family also has a long history, supported by proof with a family bible with a family tree in it. The family tree goes back about two hundred years or so. No mention of convicts though.

Ps does any one know Ben Hall ?

He would not listen. Royal Marines are stubborn folk. I'm glad they are on our side. However, the Scots that took their place, I can relate to, having a Scots ancestor , which I have told my RM mate, his retort is " Your ancestor wore a dress!!!? Gotta love it, Bob

Actually Bob I wouldn't wish Kiwi beer on anyone, I reckon half the reason the All Blacks are that good is if they could stomach that vile rubbish they could just about face anything and or anyone.

The All Blacks are good because they have a great Rugby culture, great depth, both in talent and structure, and have successfully tapped into the vibrant Polynesian population. Took us a long time to wake up. And we have. Bob
