Hello Tamara Welcome to the list and good luck with your research. The first place to start would be the permissions to marry index online at http://resources.archives.tas.gov.au/archmarriage/default.asp.

I've just discovered that my family of 'Williams' came from Tasmania and the furthest I've gone back so far is to a JOHN WILLIAMS who married in Tasmania to MARGARET DOYLE in 1855. I haven't been able to find the marriage record yet and discover who his parents were etc, which I know I'll need to do, but I was just wondering how I could perhaps discover if he may have been descended from a convict? Are there any good websites which list the names of convicts to Tasmania? Any help or advice would be wonderful, thank you, Tamara. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
