Debs,

What a great website! I have made it into a "sticky" so that it stays at the top of the Black Sheep forum and does not get lost.

Thanks for finding it!

That is a fantastic site! I went to have a quick look and couldn't help doing a search for one of my husbands family names who were known as rogues, but nothing there I'm pleased to say! I've spent longer than I meant to as it's so interesting.

Hi Debs,
This is great. I think poor old Henry Catlin may be a distant relative too. Plenty of my relatives appear on it but sadly no photos.

I spent way too much time checking out this site today....|biggrin|
Now-a-days their punishment would be major child abuse......:rolleyes: how old was that little girl in the Huntingdon gaol pictures?:eek: We really don't know how good we have it now. This is a super site...It's now added to my favourites. :DThanks

Here's another link convict researchers might find useful. These were taken at the Port Arthur convict settlement in 1874 by a private photograher.
