Hi All, 

During the pandemic ,i was able to access Shropshire Archives online, and found the Shropshire Poor Law records on there...was amazed to discover that there was a record on there relating to my greatx4 grandfather William Robinson and his wife Elizabeth..In it Elizabeth states that her husband was transported to Australia around 1801..

Does anyone have any idea how i can verify that this is true..and did he return?

They had five children John , Mary , Ann ,Samuel (my great x 3 grandfather)  and William...

only the last two show up as baptisms at Wellington on IGI ,so not sure of the ages of others or where they might have been baptised...

Elizabeth is Elizabeth Kendrick , they were married at Wellington in 1776..

Any help much appreciated,

John Robinson
