Family Stories

Life in Australia:

Francis Colgrave was a convict, sentenced to 14 years for stealing. He was a single man when he arrived in VDL. In 1839 he was granted a T.o.L. He married Isabella Watkins (or Watkinson)in 1842. She was also a convict, who gave her native place as Hull, although to date no birth entry under either Watkins or Watkinson has been found. The Colgrave families spread over most of today's Tasmania are all connected.

Life Before Australia:

Francis Colgrave also had a brother, Samuel, who had been sent to NSW in 1831. The Colgrave family has been found back in Thurleigh for several generations.
