Title: Ephraim Mills
Post by: Kim Mason on Saturday 06 January 18 11:19 GMT (UK)
I wondered if anyone has any information about Ephraim Mills. He was a convict sent over in 1834 for stealing a 🐑. On board HMS Tanner. I know that he died out there a good age. 24 October 1881. Aged 76 NSW.did he have a pardon.

He applied to have his family brought out, which was approved, but I haven't searched to see if it eventuated or not

Did he marry?

371/1853 V1853371 81 MILLS Ephraim to THOMAS A M district JR

He died with death registration at West Maitland. There is one female death that could fit:

10127/1887 MILLS  Mary A parents JOSEPH and MARY at WEST MAITLAND

I can’t see any births to the couple.

Ephraim buried at Campbell’s Hill Cemetery:
