  • Australian ancestors - best resources?

    It might be worth looking at the links that are already in the wiki - quite a few general ones as well as some that relate to individual states.

      The State Records of NSW might have some info.

      NSW BDM

      the NLA Newspaper beta site

      if you put up the names we might be able to help.

          There are some records on Ancestry for them.

          If you go to Genealogy and Family History Records - Ancestry.com.au you'll be able to see partial details, but you need the Australian Ancestry sub to see full details and images. If your sub is due to expire shortly, might be worth getting the Australian one, which is a bit cheaper than the English one.

          New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia Convict Musters, 1806-1849

          Name / Arrival Date / Vessel / Place of Conviction / Estimated Birth Year
          Elijah Young / 1836 / Moffatt / - / abt 1799

          According to the image the master he was assigned to was Wm Sharpe in Sydney.

            Australian Convict Transportation Registers – Other Fleets & Ships, 1791-1868

            Name / Convicted Date / Voyage Date / Vessel / Place of Conviction
            Elijah Young / 27 Feb 1836 / 5 May 1836 / Moffatt / York

            Colony: New South Wales

            The image shows that he was convicted for life at York Assizes. His entry and William's are consecutive.

              Name / Arrival Year / Vessel / Place of Conviction
              Elijah Young / 1836 / Moffatt / York
              Title: Pardons
              Year(s): 1846-1849

              I can't get the images to come up - I've been having a lot of trouble with Australian convict record images recently.

                    I tried doing that a while ago, but they wouldn't let me do it - you can upgrade during your current subscription, but not downgrade.

                            They would both have been eligible for a conditional pardon after 15 years, but being lifers they weren't eligible for a certificate of freedom and weren't allowed to return to the UK (on pain of death).

                            I can't see a death or marriage for Elijah in NSW, so he may have moved to a different State. Haven't tried William, as it's such a common name, but if you enter the parents' names you may find him.

                            The Registry was formed in 1856 to register life events in New South Wales accurately and securely for all time, ensuring their integrity and confidentiality. All our over the counter services are available at Service NSW centres.

                              There are some convict pardon records here, but they don't cover the years you need:
