I have been acquainted with two cousins in Australia who have had to deal with researching convicts from these types of "expulsions" from the British Isles. If someone needs a possible clue to what or where to go for resources I would be happy to contact my cousins and see if they have some advice. This is a grand posting and will be most appreciated by many. __________________ Linda M.

The newspaper report states that 194 male convicts and 4 female convicts died during the voyage, and that though conditions on board ship weren't as "diabolical" as the previous year, they were still outrageous. The convicts from Ireland who arrived on board the "Queen" are not included in the newspaper lists. As before, the list was compiled in London as so there is no way of knowing which people died on the voyage out, or did not leave England for any reason. >From the "NEW HOLLAND MORNING POST", 18th October, 1791 A list of criminals who have come to our shores in recent months Our readers will find hereunder a List of Persons transported as Criminals to New South Wales in the Ships as following, via: Atlantic, William and Ann, Britannia, Matilda, Salamander, Albemarle, Mary Anne, Admiral Barrington, Active and Gorgon.
