Thats a interesting story.have you looked on any ship records to se if they was all sent together,i have Henry from Dursley in my tree that i cant find,it would be strange if its the same Henry,would be hard to find out though.

her prison record in australia

Thats spooky i was just looking up the Gaol myself to see if the crime was the same date.Joseph Ford was my 3 x great grandad brother he was hanged for stealing a horse,he was born in Coaley and burried in Coaley.will do abit more digging with the others

[next2normal]

cool look forward to what you may find

[rpgpaf]

The strange thing is Joseph Ford who was hanged for stealing a horse had a daughters sarah and hannah and a son henry,but there baptism dates dont match there ages on the gaol,its a few years out with the daughters.was it only Sarah that got sent to Australia ? have you checked out the information from the gaol index numbers from Gloucestershire records office ? Also dont it give the names of Sarah Ann Ford parents on her marriage certificate ?

[next2normal]

havent sited there marriage cert,they were given permission to marry ,for they were convicts,,and what dates and ages do you have,yes only sarah was sent as far as i can see,havent checked glouster records,they kept the name henry going,but not joseph

How does one view the records

[rpgpaf]

Finding there marriage cert might help alot,normally you have to travel to the records office yourself,but if you live over here in the UK you could somebody on this site to have a look for you if they are going to the records office themselfs.

There are kind people that dont mind looking for you.Just put the names/dates and the Gaol index number in the Gloucestershire lookup requests.hopefully somebody will be kind enough to look for you.
