Hi there. Any of you know how I can trace an ancestor of mine by the name of Johanna Conway, born circa 1808 living in Middx in June 1813 who was transported to Australia for the crime of forgery against Coutts Bank.? She is thought to have travelled on the good ship "Tower of London". Any help forthcoming will be greatly appreciated. Makes a change someone ripping off a bank rather than vice-versa. Anthony Conway Prior.
