This is another title in the 'Convicts Assignment, Absconding and Apprehended in New South Wales' series, which is designed to assist in tracing the colonial life of a convict ancestor between 1830 and 1840. It is also the first attempt to bring together a variety of surviving records into one series to help researchers to identify possible avenues for further research.
The first in this series, this set covers the period 1830 to 1832. These lists have been compiled from the newspapers and surviving government records, and include where possible referenced back to the absconding. This aids in calculating how long the convict has been 'at large' before being apprehended.
Set out in column format the information, and sorted alphabetically by surname, you will find on this index includes: Surname, First Name (and alias if included), Ship, Absconded From (place or person), Reference (ie. G.G. 1830/111), Other Notes (ie. Gazette dated 4th March 1832).
