    If you get sent to Tasmania in 1836 for 14 years could you come home early or would you have to serve the full sentence

        If you post the person's details then his/her record may well be online. Very few people came 'home' again.

            I think people got a ticket of leave after a few years of good behaviour but as Teasie says, very few came back t the uk, they couldn't afford the fare for a stsrt. Also, some never actually went in the first place.

              He got his ticket of leave 13 Jan 1843 and was recommended for a conditional pardon on 24 Dec 1844; which was granted 16 Dec 1845. The 'condition' was that he remain "in the Island of Van Diemen's Land, or some or one of Her Majesty's Australian Colonies, or New Zealand"

                Not sure if it helps, but his conduct record says he was employed as a barber.

                  Possibly unconnected but I'll mention it given the date, there was a James Henderson crewing aboard the whaling ship 'Nimrod' out of Hobart 21 Mar 1846.

                  Not sure if its the same voyage or a different one, but on 8 Apr 1846 it was reported that the captain had broken his articles of agreement by putting into Sydney with a crew he had shipped for a whaling voyage.

                            There is nothing wrong with the spelling NOW because it has been corrected. It was wrong before it was corrected, now it is right.
