I have Australian family history too Joanne, 3 x by grandfather transported from India, this bad Charles grandfather. He was pardoned, but I think it sounds as though he was guilty too!

Hi Freddie - new here, but enjoying reading about “Baron” Charles… I am the Australian branch through Francis Ewin Forbes who came over from Calcutta… the family is quite an interesting one with both Indian and strong Jacobite connections - happy to share what I have, and would love to hear what you know too
