Dear All,

I am a researcher looking into the history of a transportee (Richard Hill) who was about 17 at the time of transportation and who may well have been operating under a false name. Please can you inform me whether there was anyone onboard the Joseph Soames by that name, or of that age, convicted in central London at the old bailey? Thanks so much. Tom

Re Thomas Matthews, who arrived in Australia on the Joseph Soames.
Hi i would love to see this "details about Thomas MATTHEWS.    Hopefully this will include the Biography that Phil and I put together."
Regards, Jenni
hi I am also a descendant of Thomas Matthews thru his daughter Matilda who married a Stevenson and then had my nanna. I’ve been stuck for years being able to go back any further on he and his wife as they both came to Australia separately as orphans and I have never heard mention of parents names or if they had siblings and help would be greatly appreciated
