Archives Office of Tasmania - continued.

After you've discovered your convict records, the next place to look is the 'Convicts Applying for Permission to Marry'.

The information contained in the permission to marry will include the ship name if the spouse was a convict. 

Then you can look at the Colonial Tasmanian Family Links search.  These entries don't normally show first and second marriages like Grace's does, but if you contact the Archives Office they are very helpful.  They will add or correct any details if you can provide them with some evidence.

Next to each child's name is their number, and this link will take you to their marriage and children if applicable, up to 1899.
