This index of 22,574 records has been compiled primarily from lists published in the New South Wales Government Gazettes in 1832-1833 of assignments (male and female), absconders, absconders apprehended, and a small list of those whose Ticket of Leave was cancelled. Also included are convict records from State Records NSW of assignments to assist in harvesting and surveying.
All of these records have been cross-indexes by employer (when given). The index lists the name, age (where noted), occupation, whether convict or employer, native place (where noted), date of record, type of record (i.e. assignments, absconders etc), location, reference, ship, and a remarks column contains the cross-reference mentioned above and any other relevant detail.
Originally produced on microfiche, this resource has now been re-released on CD-ROM to make it more accessible for all. This is a massive resource for those with convicts that were sent to New South Wales within the specified years. Rather than just finding the convict records of what your ancestor was sent here for, why not find out what they did while they were here as well.
The whole CD can be searched, and pages can be enlarged and printed if required.
