"Exiles" transported to Port Phillip 1845-1849

Hello Ben,

I noticed your entry on Convict Records of Australia for Francis RUSHBROOK but was unable to contact you except, presumably, through "Facebook" which I refuse to use.   I do indeed have a Biography, which was originally prepared in November 2011 and contains three family photographs.

I am more than happy to send you a copy but will need your email address and that involves overcoming a slight problem of you confirming it through a confidential PERSONAL MESSAGE.   First, you will need to satisfy the requirement of having a minimum three messages before the PERSONAL MESSAGE facility becomes available and I suggest you post 2 more messages merely saying, for instance, "Hello".  That will then be the trigger.   I hope this makes sense.

For the moment,

Tony

Hi there, not sure if you are still interested in the Exiles but I am descended from Jonas Jennings who arrived on the Eden in 1849.

He was the 'maternal grandfather of the husband of my great-grandmother'.

I can send you some details via PM.

Just let me know

Regards

Rickey

Hello Rickey,

Thank you for contacting me.   I am very grateful.

Sadly, Jonas JENNINGS was not exiled from Parkhurst Prison, my especial interest, but Pentonville.
A pity in that tracing the "Parkhurst Boys" is such a difficult task.

For the moment,

Tony

No worries - good luck with your continued research.

Hello
Frederick Ward from The Thomas Arbuthnot is my interest.
Do you have anything? Such an interesting character. I followed his life here.

Hello Maree,

I would love to be able to help but, unfortunately, Frederick WARD came from Pentonville Prison not Parkhurst Prison, which is my area of research.  Maybe if you post a specific, individual message about him that could bring some interesting replies.

For now,

Tony
