The reason the convict transportation scheme was started here was a critical shortage of labour. So instead of promoting a migration scheme they imported convicts.

He's not a Marsh at all. He's a Dutton. So though ancestor was an adoptee of the Marsh family there's absolutely no relation so that was only relevant in terms of storyline for the program. I was interested to see where the Dutton line went as I have Dutton (Yorkshire) on my tree and would liked to have known more of where the mother's line went. Rod was judging his Dutton ancestor, but better to just do the research and see where it goes. That might be much more interesting. Research never got off shore. Program totally got lost. He’s not a Marsh at all. He’s a Dutton.
