Hello Marg, J.H. Plunket was Attorney General appointed in 1865.

Wondered if anyone can thru light on who this bloke was ???. He lived in Sydney in the 1830s and had a good 1/2 doz convicts assigned to him ( ref 1837 muster ) Hes not in the 1828 census , No birth, marriage or death leapt off the screen from the NSW Pioneers The particular convict I am interested in was assigned to him in 1832 as a coachman and indoor servant. To need the services of a coachman would make him than foremen material . So I wondered just who was he ?????????
