Hi Terri > Would anyone be able to tell me if Dapto in the 1830s was part of > the Windsor District. Dapto would have been most likely within Illawarra as John has pointed out. > > My ggg grandfather, John McDermott was transported to NSW in 1832 and > apparently he was sent to work for Peter Larkin on his property Galway Farm > in Dapto for five years. John McDermott is mentioned in the Larkin book, > Ireland to Illawarra as being a convict worker on the property. John McDermott is not listed in the 1841 Census of the Illawarra. Peter Larkin is, and the address is written as Galaway, Dapto. Viv -- Vivienne Caldwell viv@zipworld.com.au Wollongong NSW http://www.zip.com.au/~viv
