Dear steve – I cannot get the Contribute button to work for me – sorry – on the Convict records site, for ships arriving in 1835.
The Lady McNaughten arrived in October 1835 with approx 200 convicts aboard, including my ancestor John Skelly(Scally).

Hi Steve,
I saw that you had a page on a John Reeves, who was convicted in 1847 and transported to Australia in 1848.
I’m wondering if you are related in some way?
I presume this is my gr.gr.grandfather, who I am trying to find more information on.
Hopefully you can get back to me,
cheers, Jennifer

Hello Steve
I was wondering why there is no information on the convict ship ‘Neva’ which sailed from Cork, Ireland in1835. I know the ‘Neva’ was shipwrecked of King Island, Tasmanian 12 May 1835 and there were only 6 convict survivors, one being my great-great grandmother Margaret DRURY. I have some records of the other survivors but was wondering what others who left Cork and never made it do you know if the are list of convicts who were on board ships?
Regards
Vic
