New South Wales, Mogli e figli dei detenuti irlandesi, 1825-1840

Quest'archivio riporta le mogli e i figli dei detenuti trasportati nel New South Wales che, su richiesta del marito/padre, vennero portati nel New South Wales a spese del governo per riunirsi al coniuge o al genitore. L'archivio include anche le detenute i cui figli furono trasportati insieme a loro. Quest'archivio è stato compilato dai ruoli e da altri documenti del New South Wales.

This index contains lists of wives and children of convicts transported to New South Wales who, at their husband's or father’s request, were brought to New South Wales at the government's expense to join their spouse or parent. The index also includes female convicts whose children were transported with them. This index was compiled from musters and other New South Wales records.

Because the names were extracted from various records, this index is not necessarily a complete list of convicts’ wives and children who came to New South Wales. The records also include some free settlers who took passage on the ships bringing the convicts.

The index provides the following details:

name of convict, spouse or child
ship name
ship departure year
remarks (these can include place information or even birth dates)

The index includes names of some individuals who refused the request to be transported to New South Wales. For those records, the ship's name and departure year is listed for the ship they would have travelled in. Also, wives and husbands do not always share or provide the same surname.
