Convict Notes
I have established that Margaret Sullivan (convict arrival 1840) was born in Waterford 1815 NOT 1818. Margaret's arrival record shows she was 25yrs on arrival in 1840. Still unsure if her maiden name was Sullivan or if she was married prior to her arrival. There is a comment on a document with the name KEEFFE. She had 1 child William who came in the following ship called the "MARGARET". Having trouble tracking William after he absconded from his apprenticeship in 1847. Ron Baker.????
