Hi
Has anyone got access to the Australian records on Ancestry? It will let me look at the indexes but not the full information. I am looking for John Nunn and Simeon Nunn who were transported in 1832 from Cambridge on the Georgiana to Tasmania Australia.
Not sure if they are listed in the convict settlers list 1784-184.
I know they are listed in the convict pardons and tickets of leave list but it wont let me see the info.
I have them in the convict transportation list.
Many thanks
Cathy

Hi,
Am also trying to locate some Australian link, I located the name Edward Eagle Bell in a broad census return form on Ancestry for Australia 1901-1930. This could be a relation emmigrated from England born c1875. Can anyone check for this name please.
