Hello. I am trying to find information about a couple of convicts who appear to have been transported to Tasmania. William WAGSTAFF - arrived apparently on the "ANDROMEDA". Thomas WAGSTAFF - arrived I think on the vessel "AURORA 1" I do not know anything more at all, such as their offences, convicting county, length of transportation, or the date of transportation. So any information, no matter how small or insignificant to confirm these details or supply additional information, would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Beth
