My 4th great-grandmother was born at Hobart on Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania), in circa 1843. Her father was English, her mother was Irish. I originally thought her mother was sent there as a convict, but I was told by a 3rd cousin, once removed on Ancestry that her father was a solider, which is why they were there. He was apparently injured, and got sent to England.
I watched documentary that british send their convicts one way ticket to Australia Honestly I wouldnt mind go to Australia 1 way ticket , not because I was a convict!
Amazing history, thankyou Jason D for sharing

It sounds as if his wife was acquitted because she wouldn't be much use in Australia as a manual labourer...
Perhaps but they wanted baby makers too.
Aren’t a lot of Australian citizens ancestors of convicts!
No, they are descendants of convicts.
Not true. Some emigrated though own means.
20% at best. It’s a misnomer of Brits to think all Anglo Celtic Australians are of convict stock
what was the crime ? receiving stolen goods ?
