To Whom It May Concern, I'm a descendant of William Joshua Bowd, a convict who married Margaret Moore, the daughter of two convicts Tristram Moore and Catherine Johnson. I'd appreciate any information, from fellow subscribers, regarding the family history of the Bowds, or Moore and Johnson families pre their arrival in New South Wales. Are there any relatives of D.G. Bowd, the historian, who are subscribers? If so you would be distant relations. Robert Bowd
