Tipperary / Re: Calling all GLEESONS
« on: Friday 29 August 14 08:32 BST (UK) »
Hi guys
I'm new to this site and was wondering if anyone has a misplaced Daniel Gleeson born @1815 inTipperary. At the age of 27 he was found guilty of deserting the army in Montreal and was sentenced to transportation for 14 years. He arrived in Tasmania in August of 1843 & was sent to a probation gang at Buckland.
This person is my 3 times great grandfather, I am having trouble trying to find any family info on him prior to coming to Tasmania.
If anyone can help I would be much appreciated, who knows I may be one of your cousins and we don't even know it LOL
Regards
Tim
