The Inhabitants of Norfolk Island: Late 1808 – 1814″ by historians Cathy Dunn and Glen Lambert covers all known births, deaths, arrivals and departures from Norfolk Island during this period. The inhabitants include civil personnel, settlers, landholders, free persons, sailors, expired convicts, convicts serving their time, natives of New South Wales, Pacific islanders, Soldiers of the NSW Corps and 73rd regiment, along with their wives, defacto partners and children.
What started as a review and biographical report of the passengers aboard the last ship to depart at the closure of Norfolk Island’s first settlement in February 1814 expanded as research progressed and has evolved into a detailed study of the inhabitants of Norfolk Island from November 1808 to February 1814.
To avoid perpetuating errors that may have been made in previous works generally only primary records including some recently located historical records were consulted in this project, which has resulted with new people, new movements of people and even new ships visiting Norfolk island.
Featured is a short personal biography of the 407 inhabitants, including their arrival and departure.
This A4 sized book has 62 pages plus some images of original records, cost is $32.00 includes postage within Australia.
