I've got an ancestor, Thomas Jones, who according to my grandfather, was a convict. He told me that the family was sent out as well with him. So far I've traced back to a Thomas Jones born in Cardigan shire, Wales about 1832. He came to Moreton Bay and settled in Fortitude Valley, married Catherine Hammill from Co. Clare, Ireland (B. 1835 M. 16/12/1861) and entered a partnership in a quarry business with Stephen Hammill in Jane Street, Fortitude Valley. What I can't find and would like help with if anyone can, is which Thomas is the convict, this gentleman or his father, also called Thomas Jones (according to my granddad). I so far can find no confirmation on his parents' names. Does anyone have any more info?
