Amelia Hayball

  General Notes:

All I really know is that she arrived in Tasmania in 1833 as a convict and that she departed from London. On IGI the only likely Amelia is Peter and Elizbeth's bapt. 1814 so for the time being this will be her. It is worth noting that her daughters were Eliza/Elizabeth which may be a clue.

Lynnie Flett supplied the following in July 2008 - so now we know a bit more......

I looked into Amelia and got her convict records and also John Hayball also a convict who came out a little earlier - John seemed to disapear!!
Amelia married and had a two daughters. Doesn't seem from her records that it was a happy marriage and it would seem questionable as to the father of the girls. Amelia was sent to the other side of Tasmania but there was no mention of her husband Thomas Reynolds. I have not been able to find any other records for her or her family.

This is what I have on her...
