William, Thomas & James Hogan came out to Australia from Ireland for a new life, but within 15 years, one had been shot dead and another executed... It's one of those stories that your ancestors tried to sweep under the rug, but the document archive lays all the heartbreaking details out on a platter.

All Over A Piece Of Rope | Thomas Gopser & Mary Hipwell
It's safe to say that some convicts shipped out to Australia didn't really commit a crime big enough to warrant being sent to the other side of the world. In this week's episode, we're looking at Thomas Gosper & Mary Hipwell, who arrived on the Second and Third Fleets, and what led them to be sentenced to transportation. Spoiler alert: it didn't really amount to much. Plus, I'm also sharing some must-use online databases for your research.
