Oops, did it again....really do need to finish my morning coffee!Here is the other listing from Ancestry....which also gives his occupation as seamancheers,elaine | Thos Craigie | | Birth Year: | abt 1844 | | Birth Place: | Scotland | | Age: | 19 | | Arrival Year: | 1863 | | Arrival Country: | Australia | | Vessel Arrived In: | John Vanner | | Date of Admission/Photo: | Dec 1863 | On Wednesday, May 6, 2015 8:23 AM, Elaine Hanford <ejhanford@att.net> wrote: Ian,my apologies....hit the send button too soon. In looking at the Gaol Book, it appears that he was committed at W.P.O.  (others listed as committed at C.P.O).  His age is given as 24. I tried various searches through Trove, but without success.  Since he was committed for "disobedience of orders" I would think it highly unlikely that this would have been reported in the newspapers.   There is also another Gaol Book listing at Ancestry which says: On Wednesday, May 6, 2015 7:49 AM, Elaine Hanford <ejhanford@att.net> wrote: Ian,In looking at the Gaol Book, it appears that he was committed at W.P.O On Tuesday, May 5, 2015 6:47 PM, Ian & Margaret via <aus-nsw@rootsweb.com> wrote: I have found a record on Ancestry.com of an entry in the 1863 Darlinghurst NSW Gaol “Description and Entrance Books” for a Thomas CRAIGIE (NSW Archives record). Apparently he was admitted to the gaol on 24 Dec 1863 and released on 31 Dec.  He was committed by one John Williams and sentenced to 8 days labour for “Disobedience of Orders”. I am trying to find out where Craigie was committed in the hope that it would be Wentworth where a relative of such name was living in 1862.  In the gaol book it gives an indecipherable abbreviation of the committal place. Does anyone know of any more records online that would shed any more light on this?
