Hi Listers, Could some kind lister who is going to Kingswood, and has the time, look something up for me please. I am seeking a discharge date from Cockatoo Island for a convict George DUDLEY alias George CHAPMAN. DUDLEY/CHAPMAN was in the first batch of convicts sent to the island in 1839. He was certainly free by May 1841 as I have found a permission to marry on 16/05/1841 which states he was free. What I wish to establish is when he was granted his freedom. The record details I have found on the State Records site are: Series # 12216 Descriptive Note:- 4/4540; microfilm copy SR Reel 605 If anyone can check this for a reference I will be able to order the appropriate record from the State Records Office. Cheers Peter Melbourne
