Thanks for this link, Brisgirl! I found a (passing) reference to my g-g-g-g-grandfather in one of the trial transcripts (thankfully not in trouble with the law Cheesy

) - most unexpected!

The University of Tasmania Library has a Special/Rare Collection of documents, and details of names involved can be seen on their web site (see below).
To quote from their web page the "collections embrace private sector or personal archives and manuscripts, all of which relate to the social, economic, literary, religious and scientific history of Tasmania."
Unfortunately staff can't do searches for material for outside users, but access to files and material is available to personal visitors.

This is the Special/Rare Collection page
http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/collec/arch/
Two thirds of the way down that page is a link to the indexes http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/collec/arch/ascii.html
Click on "Names in our deposited archives"
http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/collec/arch/name.ascii
Here you will find a list of documents that refer to specific names.

There is also a list of subjects and places in their archives

Hi Dawn

I can recommend the first one that Bob suggested, as I have subscribed to it often - it is free and easy to un-subscribe if you want.

The people on it are always very helpful and it covers all Tasmanians not just convicts.

Tasmanian Convicts
http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/convicts/con_main.htm

I have access to Tasmania Pioneer BDM if needed

Dawn if your ancestors are from Hobart then another good place is the Cornelian Bay Cemetery which is located just outside Hobart - It includes an index of names and date of death plus you can email them regards to burial info

Dear MC many thank's for your reply.
My convict , unfortunately was hanged in 1838. His name was James Atterall ( a derivative we think of the name Arthrell...I am still trying to track down his birth if I can so that I can then trace his line etc).
presumably he would have been placed in a lime pit,un marked grave on Dead Mans Island...so I will never find his grave. I don't think he married as there was no mention of a wife or family...so thankyou for the offer of access to the Tasmanian BMD...but I wouldn't expect there to be anything? Sad

Cheers Dawn Grin
