Hi Dawn
I was just wandering in the sussex page and your query sparked my interest for the mention of Lewes.  (4xgr/grandad)   I don't know where in Australia you are, but if you're in Nsw, you could look up the shipping and bdm indexes.  I found a Henry Athrell died 1881 Sydney, numerous Attrills (mostly girls!) b. in NSW and a John Attrell arrived 1842 on the Samuel Boddngton (reel 2144 p 192)
I got my best clues for my lot through the shipping records of assisted immigrants because they show parents names (if they were alive!).
You may be well ahead of me here, but if not, I hope this can help

I assume you have seen the detailed account of his second trial in Tasmania? It is reported under "Decisions of the Nineteenth Century Tasmanian Superior Courts (Published by the Division of Law, Macquarie University and the School of History and Classics, University of Tasmania) and can be accessed at:

Kind regards

Hi,

My cousin Lyn went to Oz recently and came back with a whole load of documents relating to James's transportation and execution which I can dig out and send if you want. Hard to find him in Lewes, but I've got bits on that too... somewhere...

Also last week, in the rain, but before our heavy snow, I drove the 10 miles from here to Fletching to see my direct gt.gt.gt. grandfather Daniel Hattrell's grave; he fought at Waterloo and I've got quite a bit on him now since discovering the link a fortnight ago.
..Attrell..Hattrell..Atherall, etc seem to be the variants these poor illiterates (Daniel was) used to go by. My side of the family (i was born in Brighton & mum was an Attrell) seem to spring from Isfield/Fletching/Lewes.. all close to me now.
