Still researching Benjamin Sparkes, the machine breaker who featured in last month's magazine.
I've come across a couple of references on Ancestry that I don't think were there last time I looked, when I could still access the Australian databases.
In New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia, Convict Pardons and Tickets of Leave, 1834-1859 there are three references for a Benjamin Sparkes who arrived in 1832 on the Planter, and I should be interested in details of his pardon and ticket of leave (I have brief details from other sites, but I'm hoping there's more info here).
New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia, Convict Pardons and Tickets of Leave, 1834-1859 - Ancestry.co.uk
I'm particularly interested that one of the records seems to relate to Tasmania, because I didn't know he'd been there; his conditional pardon was issued in NSW, and I've never found him after that.
If anyone with an Ancestry World or Aus sub has time to have a look, I should be very grateful.
