Australia / Tracing Convicts
« on: Sunday 28 July 13 21:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, I've recently (yesterday!) found that there was a convict in our family tree. Thomas Bettison was sent to Australia in 1818 aboard the HMS Tottenham. Could anyone advise where I can look next to find out what happened to him once he had received his certificate of freedom? I've tried the 1841 census to see if he stayed in Australia but can't find him on there. Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm now stuck!
