I Would Like to Find Out as Much Information About Isabella Rosson and William Richardson They Were Both on the First Fleet I was Wanting as Much...

I have got some information about these two people if there is any thing about them. they also left the country in 1812 that makes it hard to get any information about their life after leaving Australia.
Is there any way of getting the information from London as I am guessing they went straight back to London and stayed there until they died.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks Julie Cugley

Hi Julie, That should be an interesting novel. I just read Isabella's trial at the old Bailey, charged under the name of Rosson. I see on the Lady Penrhyn her name was given as Rosson aka Lawson. When did she use Lawson? Did they have any information for you within the fellowship of first fleeters? Did the children return to England with them? maybe their families know something.
First Fleet House email address is fffaus@optusnet.com.au
Good luck with your novel,I for one will be reading it.
