Hello listers, I am seeking to clarify origins/ship/arrival details and movements of John Scott/Scot who arrived c.1807 or 1808 (perhaps a convict) and died 1843. He was a sealer in Bass Strait and Westernport Bay by the mid 1820s, and also there from mid 1830s to 1843. Unsure of his occupation/location 1807-1824 & 1826-1836. Many thanks for any assistance/leads. Julie

Hi Julie, I can't find any John Scott as a convict in the years 1807/8. The one below from the State Library of Qld website is the closest I can find. He was Court Martialled. Sorry I don't know much about the The Agincourt Court Martial except it was something that happened during the Napoleonic Wars off Gibralter and the captain of the ship (Cptn Williamson) was court martialled for failing to engage the enemy in a battle. If you Google it you might find out more.
