Can anyone suggest where I might find more info on a convict Robert Martin, guilty of stealing at Tautan Courts, deported to Tasmania 14/4/1838 on the Lord William Bentink. He was the father of 10. Pardoned 28/12/1845 and then shows up as purchasing land in South Australia, Clare District. I am looking for a way of finding his movements from Tassi to SA and how to find his death. Any suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks, Janice Taylor
Hi Janice, Have you looked at the Tasmanian Archives website which is very informative. There is a Robert Martin departing Launceston for Adelaide on 26-1-1849 aboard the ship Tamar. However, he is listed as 'born in the colonies'. You could also try listing your query on the Tasmanian rootsweb list [email protected] Good luck with your search, Lyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "John & Janice Taylor" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 7:03 PM Subject: [AUS-CON] Tasmanian Convict > Can anyone suggest where I might find more info on a convict Robert > Martin, guilty of stealing at Tautan Courts, deported to Tasmania > 14/4/1838 on the Lord William Bentink.
