A photocopy of the Indent, Ticket of Leave and Certificate of Freedom OR Pardon for a NSW convict supplied at once. Much better value than buying individually and a great start to understanding the life of your convict.

Arrival - The convict indent was the official list of convicts being delivered to the authorities in New South Wales, containing details of crime, sentence, marital status and physical appearance of all convicts. Updated with later history of the convict such as Ticket of leave numbers or date of departure from colony.

Partial freedom - The ticket of leave contained details such as crime, sentence and physical characteristics and had to be shown on demand. The stub is the duplicate that remained with the authorities and was often updated if the ticket was rescinded.

Freedom - Convicts with life sentences could earn a Conditional Pardon, although other types of pardons were sometimes given. Convicts with a shorter sentence could apply for a Certificate of Freedom. Both documents gave proof that the ex-convict was now free.

A quick and easy start to understanding how your convict lived.

Photocopies will be supplied of all documents found. Price reduced if all three references can be supplied.
