Arthur Bannister, UK-Australia, 1800s sometime
I was told a while ago that my great grandfather, Arthur Bannister, was sent to Australia from England on one of the convict ships. What I heard is that one of his convictions in England that won him the free trip was polygamy so I figure there's a good chance I have a lot of relatives living in Australia now.
I'm a Canadian but I'm planning on visiting Australia in the next couple of months. If at all possible I would like to meet any family members i may have out there. Except for my father I don't know anyone on that side of the family.
If anyone knows of any people i could get in contact with or any directories or anything that may help me track my family members down please send me an email.
thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.
take care
