Background

Content Summary:
The papers include manuscripts by Sheila Bourner concerning Charles Carpenter, his early life, transportation to Van Diemen's Land in 1832, his marriage to Charlotte Yaxley, and letters and photographs from Australian relations Alan Wass, Lilian Robinson and Winifred Birchall.
Biographical / Historical:

Mrs Sheila Bourner (nee Carpenter) submitted three entries into the Historical Association's Australian Bicentenary Competition, 'Australia's Past In Front Of You'. They were based on her researches into her family history, which had uncovered a great-great grandfather, Charles Carperter (1801-1887), who had been transported in 1832, and also involved two aunts who had migrated to Australia in the 1920's. Mrs Bourner generously allowed the AJCP to film her discoveries regarding Charles Carpenter (1801-1887) and a series of letters from her aunts and cousins to relations in England.
