Hullo Meg The convict I am attempting to trace is my forebear, John Stevenson. There are no records of which I am aware of a John Stevenson ( of this exact spelling ) arriving on any ship in the first or second fleets, however there were two tried in 1790 and sent to PJ in 1791. I am advised that the John Stevenson who was sent on the Albemarle died and was buried at sea south of Perth. I would like to find some evidence. Therefore, if this is so, my John Stevenson must have travelled on another ship, possibly the Britannia, yet many of the early musters and the census of 1828 in PJ, record John Stevenson as arriving on the Albemarle. Is this just a clerical error or did John Stevenson try and hide his past or what? A person of this name arrived in the Greenhills area (Richmond) and lived, worked and produced a family and this is certainly my forebear. It is the link back to England that I am attempting to trace.

Hi Ross, Just a question for you. Did your Stevenson come from Lincoln and was he sentenced for 7 years?
