From Icklesham to New South Wales Early Colonial Emigrates (1838-
1842) – The Bardens
Member, Chris Offen, has researched emigrants – those who chose to go rather than transported – to Australia. His results with particular reference to the village of Icklesham are provided here and indicate the kind of detail the Society can find on long-lost relatives. Click here Icklesham for a fascinating read!
Notes:
The HRFHS has an index of bounty emigrates, including those from Hastings and surrounding villages, held in the research (Tomlin) room at the Ore Centre which is available to members.
