Yes, they did. A holder of a Ticket of Leave was still a convict therefore had to apply for permission. An ex-convict in receipt of a Pardon (Absolute / Conditional) or a convict who had served their sentence and in receipt of a Certificate of Freedom did not have to apply. 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 Gavin and Marites Spicer Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:51 PM To: aus-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-CON] Permission to marry Hi Can some body out there please assist.
