The Greentrees of Warblington, Hampshire
Here are the clippings from The Hampshire Telegraph of 1814. Havant is a major town near Warblington.
It's a good thing Australians and NZers are proud of their convict ancestry!
Henry stood trial in 1814 with William (brother?) for stealing a sheep. Death
sentence commuted to transportation for life to Australia.
Jane and her 5 children arrived in Sydney 16 June 1815 on "Northampton". They were sent
to Richmond NSW where Henry worked as a labourer, and in 1816 claimed a grant of
2 acres at Wilberforce, NSW.
Here is a picture of Jane, a very early photograph on glass.
