Hi Sarah My reference is: "The Port Jackson Convicts Anthology" and the file named " Convicts Permissions and Refusals to Marry 1810--1851" Indexed by Lesley Uebel Many of them are difficult to find because of the handwriting OR the incorrect ship of arrival You will have to look at the microfiche for 1848 State Archives Office of NSW now State Records of NSW 1842 - 1851 Fiche numbers 800 - 802 A.O.

I looked at the fiche at the library and couldn't find it - do you know the folio number? Many thanks, Sarah Davies
