Abraham Jennison was the first child of a Belper nailer and grew up to emulate his father, later marrying a local girl and having 11 children.  However, in 1848, their circumstances were so desperate, that Abraham was lured into poaching, was caught, convicted and sentenced to 7-years transportation to Western Australian.  All of which had dramatic consequences for the entire family.

This is not just a biography, but also a social history of the time, all extensively researched and accompanied by numerous illustrations.  195pp
