Title: Convict records in NSW
Post by: ccourt on Sunday 01 March 09 08:21 GMT (UK)
Hi everyone
It has been a while since I have been on this site!

I am tracing my family tree and have found two potential convict records on ancestry .com that I can't access as I am not a member.  Can anyone help me?

They are:
Stephen Dark and Mary Murphy.  I saw an application for marriage records.  I do know they married in 1835 in  Sydney and I have that record but I had no idea they were convicts.

Can anyone assist with me finding out more about them - any convict records
details of ship etc.?

Kindest regards
Caroline
