Series notes:
The Immigration Agent was instructed to make lists of all Bounty immigrants arriving under the May 1840 regulations.
This volume dates roughly from Arthur Davies' appointment as Immigration Agent although a note by him states that some Bounty immigrants had arrived before this record was begun.
The following information is recorded - the date of the immigrant's arrival; the date of the Bounty application and the applicant's name and address; the name, age, trade, marital status and family of the immigrant and the amount payable to the applicant and the ship's officers. In many cases, the name of the officers and owner of the ship are also listed.
These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
System of Arrangement:
