Is anyone on list researching convict John Gorman born c1810 tried Dublin City 1834 and transported to NSW on 27/9/1834 arrived Sydney 22/1/1835. He came on the ship "Royal Admiral 3". I have found a Certificate of Freedom dated 10/2/1842 but I have not been able to trace his movements after arrival in NSW. I don't know where he was living when granted the certificate. My ancestor was John Gorman (O'Gorman) born c1810 Ireland married Parramatta 19/1/1851and in 1853 was at Rockley, NSW on Campbell's River. On his death certificate on 26/4/1856 it stated he was 45 years of age and been in the colony about 12 years (info not given by relative). I can find no arrival of a John Gorman/O'Gorman as a free settler and the above John appears to be the only one close to being a link. Any help appreciated. Keith Charlestown NSW
Hi Keith The 1837 General Return of Convicts has him assigned to Thomas Icely at Bathurst When he obtained a Ticket of Leave in 1838, it stated he was to remain in the district of Bathurst. When he arrived in 1835 he stated that he was a Housepainter and Glazier. This is an occupation that he may have returned to.
