Farewell to Old England Forever

Dierdre Abraham

BLHS Monthly Meeting Saturday, 11th March 2023

at 7.00 pm, United Reformed Church (above Iceland), Bitterne Precinct


Dierdre has been a member of BLHS for thirty years. In the past she helped her husband Denis, also a member until his sad passing five years ago, to give this talk about a member of his family.

This is the story of a local teenager who is accused, and convicted, of stealing a sheep, resulting in his transportation to Tasmania early in the 19th century. It follows his story while there, including the results of inviting his family to join him.
