Hi Chrissy

Put that title into a google search. You will find lots of hits. There is a searchable CD around somewhere with all the data. Might even be lists on line.

The book is about VDL convict women.  Did your Sarah go to Tasmania.

Have you looked her up in the colonial sec papers?

I'll check out the book for you. 

I have the newspaper report from my convicts trial. 

Armed with the information you have maybe someone could go to "Colindale House" the newspaper Library in London and check the "Croydon Guardian" for you.
