are there any records online of prisoners transported to australia in the 1860's. I am looking for 2 brothers who were in england on the census in 1861. One of them was married early 1862 and his new wife died in childbirth in dec 1862. the baby was then raised by her parents but the husband dissappeared. He was back in lincolnshire in 1881 as a widower. His brother is missing for the same period of 20years so am assuming they went together.

I think if you put ''australia'' in the thread-search you'l find lots of useful links, including some for this particular research. Christine
