New South Wales, Australien, mönstringsrullor och andra register för fångtransportsfartyg, 1790-1849
This database primarily consists of ship muster lists of convicts being transported from England to New South Wales, Australia between 1790 and 1849. However, some of the records are of convicts being transported from other places throughout the British Empire (such as Canada, India, South Africa, and other areas of Australia) and to other parts of Australia (such as Van Diemen’s Land, South Australia, or Western Australia).
Sometimes these musters were taken at the time of embarkation and sometimes at the time of disembarkation. Some of the muster lists are records of contract, showing that the owner of the ship had contracted to transport the listed individuals. Information generally available on these records includes:
- Name of convict
- Date of trial
- Place of trial
- Term of sentence
Other miscellaneous records relating to convict ships are also contained in this database. Some of these miscellaneous records include: lists of deaths during transport, lists of convicts to be employed in iron gangs, and lists of free settlers on board the ship.
