He wouldn't have been a convict would he?? Not meaning to be rude, but they were transported for anything. There are some sites that have the convict lists, but I'm sorry, I am looking after my young neices tonight and I'm exhausted. Be happy to look around for you tomorrow. I'm in Oz so it's getting onto my bedtime,as the girls are sleeping in same room as computer. I'll check back in the morning. |

He WAS a convict. There's a whole website about him... http://www.kiff.net/kiff_1name/newsletters_2x/nl22/k1news22.htm ''7th April, 1842 Today two brothers today appeared before the Liberty of St Albans Easter Session and both were sentenced to be transported to Australia for 10 years. Thomas Kiff (33), of St Albans, pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing three halfcrowns, a shilling and a sixpence from David Smith on 2 April at the Vine Public House in St Albans.'' Lots more on the website... Richard |
