Has anyone come across this?
How feasible is it that a Foreman in a business would register Ticket of Leave employees under his own name. It would appeear the owner was busy with other businesses and may have had a bad credit rating -if there was such a thing back in 1860's.
No Ticket of leave men assigned to the owner in this business when T/L men were still available in WA.
Your thoughts would be appreciated. Remember it is WA
