hi
just found roots chat . wondering what you have found . My ancestor Richard Byrne was imprisoned with Farrel Cuffe , Brady and others at Newgate Prison , then on the Lively and then transported on the Minerva and involved in Castle Hill rebellion and ended up on Norfolk Island . General Holt came on Minerva and also sent to Norfolk . What do you know about this Michael Byrne , maybe he is a relative . I have copy of sURGEONS DIARY ON Minerva . Prisoners were in a bad way , refused to sail until they were fit
