Adding a convict to the second Fleet

Started by Private User on Friday, April 24, 2020

Hello I have a ancestor "Solomon Bockerah" that was on the Scarborough arrived Port Philip Bay 28th June 1790. He was first to be recognized as a Convict Jew. Solomon died 16 July 1791 and is buried at "Sydney Cove" We are not sure what he died from, perhaps sick from Scurvy whilst onboard the Scarborough. He did father a child Sarah Bockerah whom worked for Judge Adovcate Richard Atkins. She married in 1810 a convict John Laurie was a clerk for the Rum Hospital.

Can i please add Solomon to your records
Many thanks
Murray
