Hi Jan I have checked various documents and CDs I have here but cannot find anything. I guess you have checked the newspapers? Have you checked the post 1825 Colonial Sec Index by Joan Reese (available on microfiche). It may be available at the State Library of WA. I cannot find absconding in the Government Gazettes. Does the Certificate of Freedom give any hints at all Regards Lesley Uebel http://www.claimaconvict.net/index.html CLAIM A CONVICT email: [email protected] On 9/09/2011 3:37 PM, Jan and Geoff Addison wrote: > > > William Andrews (7 years) per Bengal Merchant 1936.

Hi Lesley, I have checked the newspapers and there are several William Andrews mentioned but I don't think any are him. There's nothing on the Certificate of Freedom which gives a clue and I'm pretty sure I checked the 1825 index early in my research but will go though it again to be sure. He was in Warwick with the Leslie's in the very early days of the settlement. Perhaps he was assigned to them but it seems those records no longer exist. Thanks for checking your resourses and your suggestions. Your help is much appreciated.
