Hi there list,
Just posting my interest. By way of intro I am Bob Brown from Kingscliff, NSW Australia.
I am a ggggrandson of Catherine CALNAN, b. c1818 in London, England. She was convicted
for pickpocketing in London on 9 May 1836 and transported to Australia by convict ship
Elizabeth V aged 18. I know nothing about her before she left England, nor her ancestry.
I believe her father's name was Thomas CALNAN, a labourer, no further details.
Would love to hear from anyone knowing her roots !
Regards,
Bob Brown,
Kingscliff NSW Australia
