Good afternoon to all the list members. I have just joined the list and have throughly enjoyed reading the many wonderful entries. I would like to ask for help/ guidance from the members in my search for a Michael Minton. who arrived on the Prince Regent 11 (1) in 1821. I am researching Michael to ascertain if he may be my g/g/grandfather. I am aware that there were 3 Michael Minton's transported to Port Jackson. (1) M.M. 1802 Hercules1 and M.M.1824 Prince Regent 1 (2). These two men have been throughly eliminated from my search. It is Michael Minton arriving in 1821 that I believe may have possibilities. Facts I have to date: Native place- County Galway Ireland. Convicted- Dublin County Feb. 1820. Sentenced- transportation 14yrs, arrived Port Jackson 9 Jan,1821.Source: fiche 645 page 259 film 395 (Kingswood Achives NSW). Assigned- 22 May 1823 to John Wylde. There is an entry in the Colonial Secretary's Index (1788-1825) stating Michael was to take charge of the the grazing run of John Wylde situated to the west of the government reserve land at Brownlow Hill. Michael received a Ticket of Freedom in 1834 and apart from a physical description of Michael there is no further information. I would be grateful if any list member is able to shed some light on how I can find out more information on Michael's movements. Did he stay at Brownlow Hill or would he have been moved to Bathurst when John Wylde took up grazing land near there? I believe the property was called "Gobolion". There is no registration of marriage or death on the NSW BDM in NSW or here in Vic. Any information or guidance would be most appreciated Thank You Elaine Sweet

Hi Elaine and welcome to the PJ Convicts list, To my knowledge only two convicts arrived in PJ with that name - they being: Minton, Michael *CP 1802 Hercules I Westmeath 1800 Life Minton, Michael *A 1821 Prince Regent II (1) Dublin Co 1820 14 27yo and the various Musters confirm this. Michael who arrived on the Hercules was murdered in about 1824. I cannot find any convict with that name arriving on the Prince Regent I (2) in 1824. Why do you think he is your great great grandfather? regards Lesley Uebel mailto:ckennedy@bigpond.net.au CLAIM A CONVICT http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/index.html -----Original Message----- From: aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of ELAINE LEONIE SWEET Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 3:04 PM To: mailing list Subject: [PJ] Looking for help and assistance in my search for furtherinformation on Michael Minton arriving on Prince Regent 11 (1) 1821 Good afternoon to all the list members.
