Is that reel part of the AJCP?

There are entrance books for this Gaol, so it would be possible to check whether particular convicts were taken there after their ship arrived. Reel 2514 contains entrance books for the period 1.1.1819 to 30.4.1841.

Hi! After an absence of several years we am back researching my convict - William Jarvis. We seem to have most of the trail complete now from his birth through his activities before, during and after being a convict and on to his death in Victoria but we am looking for some details of what Sydney/Port Jackson would have been like when he arrived in 1838. The things we am looking for are - were the streets paved? Were there ferries/boats plying along the harbour? Where the streets lit at night? Etc. Can anyone point in the direction where we can find this sort of information? It maybe a bit of topic but similar info for Wollongong and the Illawarra generally. Regards, John and Lyn Read Kurwongbah
