Name: Thomas Emmerson Chandler
Birth: year
Origin: location

Thomas Emmerson Chandler was convicted of Larceny age 16 in 1833 Sussex.
I have tracked him on the criminal register and Prison Hulks records.
But as my membership is not world wide i can't view his discharge papers.

I only found out about this person yesterday and i think it's quite exciting having a black sheep at last in my tree! I'd love to know if he made his way back home or if he stayed in Australia.

Thanks in advance
