Event description

This Family History Month, join us for a fascinating talk exploring love, marriage and bigamy among Irish convicts in early New South Wales.

We welcome historian and genealogist Dr. Damian John Gleeson, who will share insights from his new book, "Irish Bigamy: New Insights into Colonial New South Wales". Based on over 100 real cases, Dr. Gleeson reveals how convicts — regardless of religion — navigated relationships and sometimes bent the rules to remarry in the early colony.

About the speaker:
Dr. Damian John Gleeson is a well-regarded genealogist and historian, with numerous publications in both Australia and Ireland. His latest book, "Irish Bigamy: New Insights into Colonial New South Wales" will be available for purchase for $30.00.
