Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. From the misty banks of Ireland's River Shannon to the wild, sunlit shores of New South Wales, this sweeping true story follows two young convicts, John Frawley and Mary Ann McGarry, whose lives were forever changed by the fate of transportation. Torn from the narrow lanes of Limerick and cast into the unknown aboard the convict ships "Java" (1833) and "Diamond" (1838), they would endure peril, punishment, and exile before carving out a new beginning in colonial Australia.Before their story unfolds, the book journeys through the daring age of discovery, when men like Cook, Bass, and Flinders first mapped the treacherous South Coast and opened the way for settlers, soldiers, and the condemned. Into this vast and unforgiving land came the unwilling pioneers: the convicts and emancipists who helped build its foundations with sweat and sorrow, and the free settlers who followed in their wake.Carefully researched and richly told, this volume blends genealogical precision with vivid storytelling to trace the intertwined destinies of the Frawley and McGarry families. It reveals not only the hardship they endured, but the resilience and quiet courage that defined them, from their first years in Pambula on the Far South Coast to their later life in Toowoomba, Queensland.Drawing on four decades of research across archives, convict records, parish registers, and family testimonies, the Author breathes life into forgotten histories, transforming names and dates into human stories of endurance, redemption, and belonging.More than a genealogical chronicle, the story of John Frawley & Mary Ann McGarry is a heartfelt tribute to the ancestors who turned exile into opportunity. It invites readers to walk beside them, from the storm-lashed decks of the convict ships to the red earth of their new homeland, to rediscover the indomitable spirit that helped forge a nation. Uncover the remarkable journey of Irish convict John Frawley as he blended history and genealogy, in forging a pioneering legacy in Australia. This item is printed on demand.
