Hello Janine,     I have been researching the family of John Bradshaw from the Whitelands townland of southern Tipperary with  a daughter named Catherine who came to NSW in 1849 with the rest of family using a free passage.   During this searching I came across another Catherine Bradshaw listed online @Ancestry.com in the Australian Convict Index (Reakes)   age 25  year 1839  Birth Place: Tipperary county  State:NSW  Status:M.1m  Ship:  Minerva 6  Occupation: Dairymaid.  She may be your Catherine?   As I too live at a distance from just about everywhere - Lawrence Turtle  (Turtle Consolisated Services http://home.iprimus.com.au/turtle)  will do lookups @ NSW State Archives ( Kingswood ) at a fair price.   Good searching     Di --- On Sun, 28/12/08, janine h <jhinton@westnet.com.au> wrote: From: janine h <jhinton@westnet.com.au> Subject: Re: [PJ] Catherine Bradshaw To: aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, 28 December, 2008, 9:50 PM Hi Lesley, Where would I find this type of information please?

I don't know if she was living at the Female Factory or had been assigned to someone at that stage 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 janine h Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2008 6:47 PM To: aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PJ] Edward Ivill Wonderful, she's the 5th Convict I've found in my mother's line.
