Hi List, I am trying to sort out the above convict, he was convicted at York Assizes on the 22 March 1834. The York family history website has a record of him. ID 5320 Gillary John age 22 tried York Assizes 22 Mar 1834 The Convict Records website has 2 records: John Gillary, one of 280 convicts transported on the Norfolk, 04 July 1834 Convicted at: York Assizes Sentence term: Life Ship: Lady Kennaway Departure date: 27th October, 1834 Arrival date: 13th February, 1835 Place of arrival Van Diemen's Land Passenger manifest Travelled with 313 other convicts John Gillory transported to NSW: Convicted at: York Assizes Sentence term: Life Ship: Mary Ann Departure date: 6th July, 1835 Arrival date: 11th November, 1835 Place of arrival New South Wales Also this site says a newspaper report states: http://www.findmyhistory.net/transported-convicts/transported_convicts-33/ "John Gillary, one of 280 convicts transported on the Norfolk, 04 July 1834″ Convicted at York Assizes for a term of life on 22 March 1834. [Transferred to Lady Kennaway at Cork in September 1834]. Left sick at Haulbowline. So I would like to confirm whether or not he actually arrived in VDL or that he may have been taken off the Lady Kennaway and came later to NSW. Or perhaps I have two convicts with similar names convicted about the same time at the same place? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Bev
