Hi, Not sure if I gave this convict before. He is a stray from the USA, most likely the UK before that. If you are missing a family member. It is possible they came here as convicts. I don't have all of the mainland convicts, but there are quite a few recorded from the mainland as well. some of these convicts may have the answers you are looking for, as most say who fathers , mothers and siblings names are. With a bit of luck such family members may have recorded their history, which can aid in your missing information. Edie NAME: Samuel Armstrong AGE: 19 NATIVE PLACE: Melston, Montana, USA. MARITAL STATUS: Single TRIED: Kingston, Upper Canada, by Court Martial, 7th June, 1832, for Desertion, Goal report incouragable. I was sent to Bermuda and sent away for refusing to work.
