Hi Mike,
*My father wrote called "Berkshire to Botany Bay" about the "machine breakers" from Berkshire. Many were sent to Australia on the "Eleanor" in 1831. He is now interested in what happened to them after they arrived. *

Have you read the recently published book:
The Convicts of the Eleanor
Protest in Rural England New Lives in Australia
David Kent & Norma Townsend
ISBN 1-86403-172-7

You might find this helpful.

Best regards,

Wayne Carter
