Hello Alison You could try looking at the resources listed on Jenny Fawcett's website at http://www.hotkey.net.au/~jwilliams4/cons.htm. The Tasmanian convict resources are towards the bottom of the page. Have you looked to see if he married - convict permissions to marry are listed at http://portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=5. If he died in Hobart, he may be listed on the SRCT website at http://www.srct.com.au/search.html. Alternatively he may be listed on TAMIOT at http://eheritage.statelibrary.tas.gov.au/ (just type in his name in the search field).

He was tried at Leicester Assizes 02 Aug 1841 for killing two sheep. At the age of 44, his accomplice (William WEBB, aged 24) and he were sentenced to be transported to Tasmania. They sailed from Sheerness, 02 Oct 1842, in the Duchess of Northumberland and arrived at Hobart 18 Jan 1843. If anyone could suggest modern sources for determining incidents in his further life and death/burial, I should be most interested. Living in Canada (Vancouver Island, BC) I am not able to reach major centres personally and have to depend on the Internet, films and fiches from Salt Lake City and Record Offices etc. Alison U.
