Hi Trish The very early Indents available to us were those made up in the UK and not as a result of a muster on board on arrival as per later Indents or ship musters. The early Indents list many convicts who did not embark, or died before embarking, or died on board before sailing, or were pardoned etc. There were also many convicts not listed on these early Indents who did arrive on the early transports and sometimes can only e found by checking the various Musters, Colonial Secretary's records and some other records such as Pardons etc. regards Lesley Uebel mailto:ckennedy@bigpond.net.au CLAIM A CONVICT http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/index.html -----Original Message----- From: aus-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Trev Symonds Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 6:47 PM To: aus-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-CON] Sarah EVANS and Neptune Hi Chris, "According to one book (M. Flynn) Sarah from Denbighshire was pardoned and never left Wales .? " I think it is fairly conclusive that, for whatever reason, Sarah EVANS from Denbighshire did get transported to New South Wales and married James STEWART - On the Convicts to Australia website, Sarah EVANS is reported on board the "Neptune", tried Denbighshire on 11 July 1786, and departed England. Sailed 19 January 1790 from Portsmouth with 424 males and 78 females, trip took 160 days, and arrived 28 June 1790 - http://www.convictcentral.com/ Lesley Uebel's website shows the same information, with the addition of a 7-year conviction - http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/page29.html
