Re : William Underwood ( Convict) who came on the "Westmoreland" in 1835. Still always searching from related people and any information on what happened to William. He was the convict brother to my GG Grandmother Louisa Underwood who was sent to VDL on the Emma Eugenia 3 in 1844. Both were convicted of counterfeiting and were from Bristol.Hopeful some day, I might find a connection to someone related to William. Re: Mary Farrell .Also thank you to Kevin Wilson from Qld with his response to my query on Mary Farrell ( my GG Grandmother ) . I have now solved the mystery about her.Kevin you guided me in the right direction and my Mary is the Mary you suggested. She was Mary Farrell who came on the "Hope" in 1842. Mary was from Clane, Co Kildare and came out as a Bounty Immigrant. The Bounty of 19 Pounds was paid by Mr John Miller. Her brother Michael was on the Hope with her and I see from the records it states- under the protection of her brother Michael. I think Michael married a Mary Ryan from Yass. Does anyone have any information on Mr John Miller? I see on the "Hope" records he paid the Bounty for many of the Irish girls. Robyn Murray
