Thank you very much Trish.

Once I get my head around the technical side of using RootsChat, am I permitted to offer to do gratis look-ups in Western Australia?

Thank you again for your message,
Denise

Hello Chrissy

Found this newspaper article for you.
Sarah received the lightest sentence for crime/s done at a time of economic depression and high unemployment with the Industrial Revolution.

"ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
. . .
At Croydon, J. Stevens, J. Lovell, Sarah King and Sarah Whaley, for burglaries."

["The Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury", Friday, August 2, 1799, p. 3, Issue 3567.]

Sarah Whaley (aka Wheatley) came out to VDL on the same boat, so sweet to know she wasn't alone at such a young age. I'll look up the boys now.

Never be embarrassed about your forebears, no one knows the circumstances of their lives.

Best wishes
Denise

Hello MacGearailt

This is a full length portrait of SN 157 Horace Patrick WILSON. He had a tragic early life, and l am heartened to hear that the Miss M Farrell in his WILL was his fiance.
Best wishes.
