So far age and dates are matching. His name is Michael WHITE who arrived on 'Waterloo' in 1831. At the time he was tried he was 13. From the 'General Return of Convicts in NSW - 1837' the following details apply to him - WHITE, Michael, Age - 21, Ship - Waterloo, Year - 1831, Master - DUMARESQ COLONEL, District - New England. Would anyone have any details on DUMARESQU COLONEL? Would anyone have any details on Michael's movements after 1837 or any advise of where next to look? I am trying to make a connection with Michael WHITE who married Susan McDONALD/McDONNELL in East Maitland in 1854.
