Hi Stephanie, I have just sent a reply to Jennifer Smith's posting. I include it below having read your reply. Hi, My husband's gggrandfather was a convict from Belfast who was sent to Australia in 1838  for 'receiving stolen goods'. I was going to contact some researchers in Ireland to see if they could find more information. This fellow, Oliver Charles Maxwell was 16 when he was charged but following his 'ticket of leave' in Australia, he became a very successful business man in the tobacco industry in Sydney. Unfortunately, I am unaware of any Irish Maxwell websites. If you find anything which may be of use to me I would appreciate it, Regards, Lesley Maxwell If you have any knowledge of this particular line of Maxwells I would be most grateful. Many thanks, Lesley
