I am interested in finding out if any infants were born to the convict women on board the ship Asia that arrived in PJ in January 1830. The National Archives Kew website has the surgeon's journal online but it only shows medical cases with no mention of births. I am hoping to confirm that Esther BYRNE, who is shown as having a child on board, also gave birth to a second child during the voyage.   Any suggestions are welcomed.   Regards,   Jenny W [Brisbane]

Hi Jenny Given that the muster taken on board when the Asia arrived in 1830 states she had one child on board, then I would think that she had only the one.
