Trove Tuesday: Thomas McCormick

Thomas McCormick, a convict from Ireland and my fifth great grandfather, arrived in the colony of New South Wales in 1816 with a life sentence.

Eventually he was granted a ticket of leave, and settled in the Hunter Valley. But that is another story for another time, today I found his funeral notice thanks to Trove!
