Hello Cousins,

More Cornish born who came to Australia as Bounty Migrants between
1828 - 1842. In return for a free, or subsidised, passage the immigrant
had to agree to work for a specified length of time ...... thus the
agents who brought them out, called "Bounty Agents" (because they were
paid for each immigrant they brought in) kept quite good records so
that they could be paid.

Note that, although all of these immigrants arrived in New South Wales,
many later moved to other States of Australia.

In total, over 500 Bounty Migrants who came during this period gave
"Cornwall" as their place of birth ...... but some of these came out with
spouses, or children, who were born elsewhere. So if one of these
belongs to you, I will see who else was with them.

No other look ups, though, folks ...... I will work through the list
alphabetically ...... so watch this space.

Kindest Regards ...... Corinne in Melbourne, Australia.
