In the novel (and in history), the Quaker social reformer Elizabeth Fry gave the convict women numbered tin tickets to wear around their necks as identification before they left for Australia. Tin Ticket was one of a dozen titles I considered before settling on The Exiles. It must've been on an earlier draft. Sorry for the confusion!

“The Tin Ticket” is a narrative non-fiction book written by Deborah J. Swiss. It’s both well written and meticulously researched. My book club read it, and it was one of our all time favorite book club discussions.

I've made the correction. Tin Ticket should no longer be seen.

Should we place bets on how many people will ask this question again?! 😉
