Hi, if he left from Ireland, he would have sailed from Cork, or as the harbour is called Cove (Cob) in Irish. They have a convict history research centre there as well as a family history centre in Cove.

Edward is known to have escaped. They were the children of Stephen Cassidy and his wife (possibly Catherine) Britton. Thomas was married previously and I am keen to trace his family in Ireland where he presumably left a wife and 2 female children. The trial was held in Fermanagh assizes in Ireland. Can anyone tell me how I can go about getting details of the trial, I have already undertaken searches at NSW State records and have some limited info, keen to do more. Would appreciate any help anyone can give, including any info about the voyage on Hercules II.
