First Fleet 1788 Wallabadah NSW

Anyone you know ???

The First Fleet of 11 ships, each one no larger than a Manly ferry, left Portsmouth in 1787 with more than 1480 men, women and children onboard. Although most were British, there were also African, American and French convicts. After a voyage of three months the First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788

I love reading these lists, fascinating to recognise names, especially if one knows someone with the name that is listed! v

Not Guilty M'Lady! My oldest Pettit ancestor I know, born 1807, came from Ipswich in Suffolk so I think our folk were as clean as a whistle ;-)
