Convict Notes
Over the years 1823 to 1825 the colonial administration in NSW undertook a yearly convict muster. All this information was combined to create one muster which was sent to the Home Office in London. A copy was retained in Sydney. Then in 1999 this copy of the muster was published by ABGR in book form. I have a copy of this large book titled “General Muster List of New South Wales 1823, 1824, 1825", George Thomas is named on page 566 as entry 42741 George Thomas convict, ship Guildford 1822, 7 years and in the comments "died Mch 1825 Port Macquarie”. I then found a burial is listed twice in the official online NSW birth death and marriage index - burial references 6377/1825 V18256377 2b and 241825 V182524 44B. This is different to that recorded above. Which is correct?
No changes thank you. Wanted you to know that George Thom was to have married a NZ Maori Princess of the Waikato who between them had 5 children. Their only son is my 1x great grand father who lived his live out in NZ. He had an elder sister named Maryann who was to marry Alexandra Vallis who between them had 14 children, many spent their lives in Aussie right up to today. (I have much more but not sure if this is the right place for it, Thanking you R)
