Hi Maddy I have an ancestor who was transported to Australia. His name is James Tanswell, he was tried in 1830 and transported the same year on the Burrell II. He was 19years old at the time of his transportation. If you have any further information I would be eternally grateful.

Hi Robyn, If you go to Lesley Uebel site http://www.claimaconvict.net/index.html the free site is 'Claim a convict' you will find Tanswell James, 1830, Burrell, Dorchester 1830, Sentence Life, age 21. When you click on his name a link opens to others researching the particular convict. http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/ Indexes online - TANSWELL James - Burrell 1830 48/1897 1 Oct 1848 Pardon: CP [4/4461; Reel 789 page 409-410] TANSWELL James Burrell 1830 40/1858 Ticket of Leave [4/4143; Reel 937] District: Port Phillip; Born: Som; Trade: Ploughman; Tried: Dorset Ass You can get copies of the above information from State Records, NSW, unfortunately you will have to pay! You will also see there were 2 others by name of Tanswell, John from Leicestershire and a Stephen, also from Dorset.

Hi Robyn, I have not come across James yet. I have been transcribing some prison registers (Dorchester) for the past few years but have only reached 1820. Having said that I have done some work on the Swing Riots and the perpetrators were tried and transported in 1830 but Tanswell was not amongst them. I will keep an eye out for him and let you know if/when I find anything more.
