Passenger Lists from Aus to UK abt 1839
« on: Wednesday 30 September 09 08:41 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Does anyone know of any passenger lists from Australia to UK around 1838 - 1840?

I had a convict ancestor (Hector BULL) who was sentenced to 7 years in Tasmania in 1831 but wasn't sent until 1832. He ended up going back home at the end of his sentence but I cant find a passenger list for this time. Tasmanian archives do not have anything for this time.

Thanks,
Kim
