Hi Michelle We had two achievements that come to hand, although neither ancestors were convicts, we located the death of our JOHN SMITH 1823-1902, after quite a number of years, through the TROVE Newspaper The Cumberland Argus and Fruitgrowers Advocate. Not by searching for JOHN SMITH, but searching for his son-in-law, FREDERICK HAZELWOOD, his name was found by searching Mr. F. HAZELWOOD and he appeared in the funeral notice for JOHN SMITH. From that funeral notice we have been able to also obtain all the information regarding his 2nd daughter Charlotte, she married a Frederick Turner. All three are buried in Mays Hill Cemetery, Parramatta NSW. So we have JOHN SMITHS death certificate and also a photo of the grave courtesy of Australian Cemeteries Index website. The other success we had recently was finding George Somerville 1809-1897 death and other details. His first wife had died in Scotland, he remarried in Scotland and lived the rest of his life in Ohio USA. All the information ties in with his first family, we still have to obtain the death certificate in the New Year. I have no convicts in my family research Johns convict ancestors are: Joseph BRIDGE, Elizabeth BUFFEY, Joseph CRAFT, Thomas CROSS, Margaret DAVIS, Cecilia Jane EVERS, Sion FREEBODY, Martin HEAGNEY, Joseph HOLLINSHED, Thomas Hoskisson, Jane LLoyd, Michael MAGNER, Thomas MATTHEWS, Sarah PIGG, Sarah ROBINSON, George STEWART, William TAAFE (came out as a STEWART) and Mary WELLS. Our thoughts are with Lesley and her family. Regards to all John and Shirley Smith
