Oh my! What a rap sheet! Thanks so much for this information, as unpleasant as it may be
He doesn't seem fit to be raising a child, and probably not the done thing at the time anyway. The search for his parents continues, as apparently Olive was brought up well...

Also, where it says Arrived in Colony, Ship & Year, what does B.S. stand for? Is it something to do with him being born here (in Australia - Sydney?).
