Nominal Registers of the Hiring and Disposal of Immigrants with Details of Marital State, Age, Children, Trade, Employer, Wages and Term of Employment 3 Jul 1853 – 31 Jan 1862

These volumes contain alphabetical lists of immigrants who arrived between 1853 and 1862. They were compiled when the immigrant arrived and list the immigrant’s name, age, marital status and trade. As each immigrant obtained employment or left the immigration Depot for any other reason the following additional details were recorded – employer, where and when employed, wages, term of employment and whether he was rationed by the employer. The record is usually signed by the employer. Each volume consists of loose sheets which have later been bound together. These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
