Hello,
I am searching for information about my Great Grandfather, John Gordon Hathaway, who was an English Convict (#1772) transported to Bermuda (aboard the St John Lawrence) in 1859 and then sent on to the Swan River Penal Colony in Western Australia in 1862 (aboard the Merchantman).
Are there any records available to research his time on Bermuda?
