Hi I am trying to tie up some loose ends in my family tree research. I know James Knapsey (b. 1823) was a convict in Tasmania from 1844-1850. There are no further records of him in Tassie. In 1851 a James Knapsey (b. around 1823) suddenly appeared in Victoria. The Victoria one seemed to offer a variety of stories as to his origins, but none of them mention being a convict. My question is how do I link the two? Are there records of departures from Tasmania or arrivals in Vic? And where do I look? I am fairly sure they are the same person as Knapsey isnt exactly a common name (In fact I think he may have made it up possibly from Knapp), but as I am a bit of a skeptic, I would like proof positive. Thanks Patti
