Convict Notes
NOTE: John Paisley's wife Margaret (in Scotland) it appears was transported, in 1825 per the ship 'Henry' - but under her maiden name "Margaret McAnslan". Record in Tasmanian Archives http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/ImageViewer/image_viewer.htm?CON40-1-1,380,20,F,60. Record states she was convicted, with her husband for receiving stolen goods and that he had been transported. Married, 2 children - 1 with her. Her Conduct Record sheet is completely clear. Margaret died 31 May 1826 at Hobart. (ref. 34/1/1 1212) The name of the child is not on these records and a basic search on the Orphan School does not bring up "Paisley". Did they find their father?
