Hi Valerie, >From a search of the online SRNSW "Index to convict exiles, 1846-1850" [ http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexes/searchform.aspx?id=20] you might wish to consider the possibility that your George Mills was the exile transported on the 'Anna Maria' in 1846. Trial city was Knutsford (Cheshire) which isn't too far from his birthplace of Warwickshire.

My husbands ancestor was George Mills who died in 1886, at Newtown NSW, aged 71 years. On his Death Certificate where it asks "Time In Australian Colonies" it states about 40 years in NSW. I think this statement means that he may have been a convict. Am I correct ? Place of birth is listed as Warwickshire England and all information supplied was given by his son. It also states that his age at marriage was "about 35". There are not any parents names given on the Death Certificate. I have transcribed his marriage to Mary Ann Smith in the Parish of St. James by Licence on 22nd day of June in 1852. At this stage I am unable to find how he entered Australia and I suspect he was a convict. Valerie from Mollymook NSW ************
