Hi Len
Thanks for this great information. One of my distant relatives married Ira Polly, one of the Canadian Exiles, although he was American born. Another source is a book I have on my shelves but haven't got around to reading yet is "American Citizens, British Slaves: Yankee Political Prisoners in an Australian Penal Colony 1839-1850" by Cassandra Pybus and Hamish Maxwell-Stewart, pub in Australia in 2002. There is a list in the back of the book with a short biography of almost 100 US citizens who were transported to VDL (Tasmania) in 1839-40 which includes Ira Polly. If anyone would like a lookup I'd be happy to oblige.
