William Harris, George Blurton
« on: Tuesday 11 August 09 13:44 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on William Harris, aka Paulet. Born 3 April 1831 (according to convict database) and sent to  Western Australia on the convict ship Pyrenees in 1851. We know he was sentenced in Hereford in 1847, and was listed as a tramper. We don't know anything else about him before he came to Australia.

Also looking for George Blurton, born 1833, also sentenced to transportation to Western Australia. Sentenced in the Central Criminal Court in 1847, occupation boatman. As with William, that's all we know about his history before Australia.
I'm very new to Genealogy, and even newer to this site. HELP!!!!!!!!

Family lore says William was born in Wales, and as for George, all we know is it's somewhere in the UK. I forgot to mention that his middle name is Simon. Pretty sure the year of birth is 1833 tho'. Thank you for trying to help me!

Wendy, I haven't seen that, where on the web did you see it? That's great!
We have Williams death certificate, and all it says is what he died of and his age, not more than that. I'm going to go ahead and see if I can get Georges.
Thankyou! Thankyou! like I said, I have no idea where to even start, but this is very helpful!
Cheers, Juliska

Hullo

I have this family tree completed, William Harris (aka Paulet) is my GGG Grandfather.

Happy to discuss further.

Where do you live.  I am unable to locate any information on William prior to his arrival in WA.

Thanks.
