Hi I also are having trouble finding what happened to my convict JOHN LAWRENCE from his arrival on 8/1/1939 on the Barossa and his settlement at Moparrabah (Kempsey District) It was stated in his wife ROSANNA CARTWRIGHT's Obituary that he worked as a Stock Keeper at Lake Innes Port Macquarie but I have been unable to find out from the Port Macquarie's Historical society of any existing record. We know he Married in Port Macquarie in 1850, Ticket of Leave 9/8/1946, Cancelled 6/11/1850, reissured 16/4/1851. So what did he do between1839 and 1851 when he turned up in Kempsey. This is still my mystery. Derek
