My HARPER surname interest is in finding/confirming parents of Mary HARPER transported to Tasmania for 14 years in 1824 for 'receiving stolen silk'. She was tried and sentenced at Bristol (City) Quarter Sessions. Records state that she was 20 years of age in 1824. The only suitable birth record found on the IGI being father Joseph HARPER who married Sarah WEBB 14/6/1772 in Ruardean. Birth year 1804 in Westbury, Gloucestershire. Would love to hear from anyone with some clues. Thanks and regards from Rhonda Paine - Central Mangrove NSW Australia 2250.
