Thanks to the generosity of a fellow genealogist, I now have details of my great-great-grandfather's first family prior to his transportation in 1842
He was a highway robber!! None of your hankie thieves for me!
I am interested in finding out more about the children he left behind - it's so wonderful after all these years of searching to finally be able to put names to them. In Christopher's convict record it stated that he had a wife and 2 children, but I didn't know the children's names.
Suggestions welcome!
