Hi Are there any Salmon's listed. I have a John Salmon b.1780 ish who i believe was transported to Australia. regards gina

Hi Gina There are 12 John Salmons listed.Do you know where John was born or may have been living at the time of his conviction? No ages are shown on the database only the place where they were convicted. So some idea of where the offence took place would be very helpful. Regards Mary

Hi Lilian Tranportation records only go up to 1868. Sorry Mary

OOOPS ! You did give the dates quite clearly Mary...this is probably why I can't find people on the census...not enough attention to detail !! Many thanks to you, Margaret.

Hi Mary He may have been from the Hampton area, England. Not 100% certain. Alot of the Salmons come from this same area. regards gina

Hi Gina Do you know which County Hampton is in as there are at least 13 towns or villages called Hampton in England,also any idea of when he may have been transported?? Mary
