Title: Michael J O'Hanlon - prison
Post by: Ohanlon on Tuesday 26 April 22 05:40 BST (UK)

I have found a record -
Walter or Michael Joseph O'Hanlon or McHugh
Imprisoned 1898   NSW
Arrival date 1894
Birth date 1871 Ireland
Prison name Goulburn
Ship name Oriezaba

Can anyone tell me if these are one and the same person and what crime and sentence he might have received, please?
Did the Oriezaba call at NZ on the way to NSW?

Thank you

The Record is freely available online from the NSW State Archives.  The above link should take you to it.

You can see the photo of the Prisoner and the details as to the names he was known by and his ship of arrival.
