Hi Les,
Thank you for sharing that story.
They certainly were very tough times and the penalties paid often far outweighed the crimes. It's interesting to hear that your ancestor also remarried - it seems to me as if life reset itself for these people once they made it to Australia. It certainly makes an interesting trail for genealogists.
