I have a fairly unusual last name, which means that I'm always spelling it out for people. It's Norman-French in origin, however people with that name only seem to live in central England, or Perth, Western Australia. There are loads of us in Perth, so I got to assume that rather a few were transported back when Australia was a prison.
A little research has traced that we had an Alderman of the City of Birmingham in 1804, much before that seems to be lost.
