Hello All, This is our first posting to the list. Having been born in Nowra, most of our research is in that area. We are looking for any information on convict great great grandfather James ALLEN. So far, we haven't been able to find out when he was transported. At the time of his marriage on 18 January, 1850 to Ann DUNSTAR, he appears to have been at Jamberoo. The witnesses on the certificate were John & Catherine Ritchie. We have discovered three children, John, George Benjamin & Sarah. He later worked as a fencer on the Cooloongatta Estate. He died on 30 July, 1894 at Greenwell Point aged 76 years. Any further information or help would be appreciated. Regards, John & Annette Morton-Allen jmortona@tpgi.com.au Researching: ALLEN/ALLAN, DUNSTAR, STADDEN
