Transportation of convicted ‘felons’ commenced in 1788 and ended in 1868 after sending 162,119 convicts from Britain to the Australian colonies. There is an attempt at the beginning of the book to describe a typical convict woman, but that is near impossible as each and every woman mentioned in this book is unique as their background and experience is very different. As said in the chapter “Elizabeth Smith – a Typical Woman” the life of any ‘average’ character is likely to be as unique as that of the most ‘unusual’. This chapter, however, is important in putting down a starting point for comparison between the women’s lives. Elizabeth SMITH was convicted for stealing money from a man in the street in Middlesex and sentenced to seven years transportation. At the time of this offence she was in her early twenties, and stood 5 feet 2 inches, could read but not write, had been in prison for minor offences in the past, single, stated that she was a ‘servant of all work’, and had Yes I did manage to find a HALDANE in this book, but never been ‘on the Town’.

The Judges also recognised and took into account the value of the publications to the families of the authors. In reaching their decisions, the judges sought above all to judge the books to be well written, supported by appropriate references and sources and to meet all the Award Guidelines.

In offering the following comments, the judges noted that those entries that did not receive a placing are unranked and listed in the order in which they were received.
20 AIGS The Genealogist September 2016 The Alexander Henderson Award is a prestigious award to celebrate Alexander HENDERSON, the author of Australian Families and Pioneer Families of Victoria and the Riverina, two cornerstones in the evolution of genealogical research. The Alexander Henderson Award is presented to the best Australian family history submitted for judging. Unfortunately there were only six entries for the 2015 Award. As there were so few entries only one place was awarded. FIRST PLACE The Rymill Roll-Call: from Oxfordshire to the world by Peter RYMILL. This impressive family history offers valuable insights into London business life, the commercial elite of Adelaide, connections with other leading South Australian families such as Ayers and Hawker, and demonstrates a readiness to confront and even celebrate non-traditional aspects of the family’s life. The author has been able to draw on a rich family archive and the work of earlier family members, and the story is told with wit and style. It is well laid out and arranged by generations e.g. The Edwardians, The Patriots, etc. and with copious illustrations.

The Don Grant Award is for the best Australian historical biography with a family history focus. There were only six entries for the 2015 Award, the same number as for the Alexander Henderson Award. As there were so few entries only one place was awarded. FIRST PLACE Boots, Shoes & Seeds: the life of Peter Field by John FIELD. This is a beautifully presented and well researched book, which tells the interesting story of an orphaned boy, raised in a workhouse in Warwickshire, England, who arrived in Queensland in 1874 and established a boot manufacturing business in Toowooomba. It covers not only his family life but also his business and charity activities. The prologue sets the scene, introducing events in both England and Australia in 1851, the year of Peter FIELD’S birth, and that use of social context is continued throughout the book.
