Description
Convict Shadows of the Past - Two Jennifers, two hundred years apart. When aged eight, Jenny Kellow learns of her convict family history and discovers that she was named after a convict from nearly two hundred years ago. Her grandfather’s stories inspire her to dig deeper into her ancestors’ convict past. From her grandfather, she hears stories of bushrangers, convicts, and life in the infant colony of Parramatta. She sets about retracing the footsteps of her convict great-great-great-grandmother to honour her. Jenny’s search starts with microfiche back in the 60s, and she learns about the small tin mining town in Cornwall and the production of a cheese that sets London afire. Then she discovers her ancestor has brought these cheese-making skills to Parramatta, where she taught others her craft. Echoes of the past can still be heard if you know where to listen. But who was the first Jennifer? Why is she so elusive?
