List of First Fleet Convicts

In 1969 the Daily Mirror published an account which purported to be from a fictional newspaper article in the London Gazette said to have been published in 1788. It suggested it was a full list of all First Fleet convicts and was transcribed by Barbara Turner in 1992. Whilst the accuracy of the list cannot be relied upon, you can find it here. It appears to be based on a Public Record Office list which in 1969 was available on microform at Mitchell Library, Sydney and has now been digitised AJCP PRO HO 10/7


Sourced First Fleet Convict List

This list is a work in progress to source all First Fleet convicts and to exclude possible fictional convicts included in the Daily Mirror account in 1969.

Please add links to convict profiles on Wikitree and add an appropriate source. Feel free to add any missing 'sourced' First Fleeters to this list.

Those who do not appear in the First Fleet database and have no other reliable sources, should not have profiles created. Rather, please add their name to the [Space:Australia%2C_Profile_Verification_-_First_Fleet Profile Verification Page] so that further research can be undertaken by our specialist researchers.

Slight question of grammar, in regards to the line listing "two men-o-war ships", should it be "two man-o-war ships" as the word ships takes the plural or is it correct as is?

In my mind if it only said "two men-o-war" it would be correct but as it is written each ship is a man-o-war and "ships" indicates there are several individual ships each one a man-o-war. Sorry for being pedantic. :/

Hi Corey. The plural of man-of-war is men-of-war. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/man-of-war
posted by [Living Ford]
Cheers, while thats correct when used without the word ships at the end, I'm not certain in the current context as using a double noun "ship" and "man-o-war" complicates the grammar. Usually in the case that two nouns are combined only one gets pluralised i.e. men-o-war ships is two plural nouns. Think car keys, even if you're referring to keys for multiple cars it remains car keys despite there being multiple cars.

Like I said, in my mind this makes it either "men-o-wars" without ships after it or "man-o-war ships". Trouble is there is no plural usage examples in the dictionaries I've searched.

Ok so from what I can find with regards to double or compound nouns as in this case the second noun takes the plural i.e. in this case it should be "man-o-war ships"

"With compound nouns made of [noun + noun] the second noun takes an -s for plural. The first noun acts like an adjective and as you know, adjectives in English are invariable." https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/nouns-compound.htm

posted by Corey Bissell
The only problem Grammarly found was men-o-war should be men-of-war. However, in the interests of reducing stress, I have amended it to 'two war ships'.

Anthony Rope was on the first fleet, as was his wife Elizabeth. See: "The Australian Genealogist" October 1936, vol.II, part 5, p.21, "Some Pedigrees from the NSW Census for 1828", where "Anthony Rope, of Evan [near Penrith], farmer, aged 65 years, who came on the ship 'Alexander 1788'". is listed with his wife and four of their eight children.

Hi Gregory

Anthony Rope is listed, but is out of order. Elizabeth is listed under "Powley".

Elizabeth Pulley was a female convict who left England in the First Fleet aboard the "Friendship" but was transferred at Cape Town to the "Prince of Wales" arriving in New South Wales on 26th January 1788. Her name appears in the lists as Pulley (in one as Pully).

Anthony and Elizabeth had a son Robert who was said to be the first European child to be born in Australia, see: "The Australian Genealogist" vol.ii, part 3, July 1936; and "The Pioneers of Sydney Cove" by Herbert John Rumsey, 1936, p.87. The first publication quotes Robert's birth date as 5th September 1788 whilst the second states 5th November 1788. Burial entry suggests September.

This family are well-recorded.

A report in The Age of Scott Morrison in search of his Cornish forebears. Apparently he is descended from this man - ROBERTS, William Bodmin 7 - no profile yet

“ On the last day of the G7 in Carbis Bay, Morrison spoke to world leaders about climate change and rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific before the summit wrapped up around lunchtime. He was then driven under police escort to St Keverne, where his fifth great-grandfather, William Roberts, was born. Roberts was sent to Australia as part of the First Fleet for stealing five-and-a-half pounds of yarn in 1786. Morrison met Karen Richards from the St-Keverne Local History Society, who had been commissioned to research the Prime Minister’s family history and locate graves of relatives. Richards said Morrison had made it known weeks earlier that he wanted to find the graves of his sixth-great grandparents John and Jane Roberts. Their headstones could not be found, so the Prime Minister instead laid fresh flowers at the grave of a more distant relative. Morrison also visited the church where his ancestors were married and inspected the font where they were baptised. He wrote in the visitor book: “It has been wonderful to return ‘home’ in memory of William Roberts.”“ From Scott Morrison’s secret G7 side trip to explore his family history Bevan Shields By Bevan Shields June 21, 2021 — 5.16am https://www.theage.com.au/world/europe/scott-morrison-s-secret-g7-side-trip-to-explore-his-family-history-20210620-p582no.html

Loved your reply Doug, thanks. Only an expert waffler would have thought to remind me of the obvious. I still want to know if WikiTree has a platform where members talk about ancestors. I need a break through! Frederick Meredith’s life is well documented from the time in 1787 when he set foot on the Scarborough of the First Fleet bound for the new colony which became Australia but his earlier life is a mystery.

I can only say "Poor Barbara!" As you ask, who is she? The only reason I can think of for not recognizing Molly's group, is that their info is second-hand, what a lawyer calls "hearsay evidence." Strictly, Lesley Uebel's database is no different. It is a "source" until you find something better.

I am a direct descendant from Frederick Meredith. How do I link with others who are also descended from Frederick Meredith. [email address removed]

I forgot. This is a women's site, and I need to waffle. "You need a common ancestor" wasn't waffly enough.
