Hi Carol, Are you sure John JIBB who was transported to NSW is the same man you have found in VDL? John JIBB was transported to NSW onboard "Lord Melville", arrived 14 July 1829; to be in Hobart in 1830 he must have been sent on to VDL upon arrival, but there's nothing online that I could find to show him arriving in Tasmania. At the NSW State Archives - John JIBB shows up in the Bathurst district of NSW in 1837 when he was granted his ticket-of-leave - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2213435 and his Conditional Pardon in 1847 - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article37127027 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article37129213 Maybe the Bathurst Family History Group could offer a few suggestions on his whereabout after this time? - http://www.bathurstfhg.asn.au/index.shtml I couldn't find any deaths for him in NSW, Victoria, Queensland or New Zealand - maybe he changed his name and started a new life? Cheers Trish Nowra NSW I'm attempting to find the convict record for John Jibb who was sentenced to transportation in 1828 in Lincoln, along with my rellie William "Tulip" Wright and a number of others. He arrived in Sydney on the Lord Melville in 1829, and then I find him, both as Jibb and Jebb in VDL in 1830, and again, as Jebbs, in 1831. Carol Brill.

Hi Trish, Thanks for searching so far and wide for this elusive man - I only checked Tas. and NSW for his death, like, you to no avail. I will contact the Bathurst Family History Group - they may be able to help. I'm fairly sure the man in Tas. in 1830 and 1831 is the same man - there don't seem to be any other convicts anywhere of that name during this period. Joseph Bonney Senior absconded in Sydney c. 1814, if my memory serves me correctly. He then popped up in V.D.L., and Gov. Tom Davey wrote a letter to Macquarie asking permission for him to remain, which request was granted. I've been thinking that something similar may have happened with Jibb. I found runaway notices for Bonney in NSW, but haven't found any relating to Jibb yet. The thing that confuses me the most is the fact that I can't find any convict record for him in Tas. - seems very strange considering his crimes. I'm guessing he was sent to Port Macquarie after he absconded in 1831, and that's why he was back in N.S.W. later. Talk about the invisible man! Best wishes, Carol. -----Original Message----- From: symonds3 [mailto:psym8950@bigpond.net.au] Sent: Wednesday, 4 June 2014 6:54 PM To: AUS-TASMANIA Subject: Re: [AUS-Tas] John Jibbs/Jibb/Jebb Hi Carol, Are you sure John JIBB who was transported to NSW is the same man you have found in VDL?

Carol, I am not sure you are going to find many records for John JIBB at this early date. My 14 year old William BYRNE/S, BURNS who arrived in Sydney in 1826, only has a "Muster Roll of male convicts arrived in Sydney Cove on Saturday the 18th February, 1826." Etc. It is like a "mini" indent. It is one line only. The only other place I have ever found him, is in a muster roll. And a couple of "possible" sightings in newspaper article. Like you, I have no death, for either him or his wife. Too many people of the same name to pin him down, in my case. It has most of the information you would normally get at the top of an indent. Offence, where convicted, physical description and occupation. Have you seen these? Oh, have a feeling that at least one of these has already been sent to you. http://www.convictrecords.com.au/convicts/jibb/john/122505 http://microsites.lincolnshire.gov.uk/ConvictsDetails.aspx?convict_id=3012 AH! I just found these in Trove. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article4210310 Hobart Town Courier, 20 Feb, 1830. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article4210310 More or less a repeat of the previous article. He stole 8 Bushels of wheat from his master Mr. Richard Troy. He was sentenced to 7 yrs Transportation. There has to be a record of that "somewhere". You say that a Tom Davey wrote to Macquarie, asking permission for him to stay. Might he have been assigned as a servant and came to Tas with his Master - perhaps Mr Troy? There are 32 entries for Richard Troy in Trove, but seemingly for two distinct people. One a convict, one a landowner. -----Original Message----- From: aus-tasmania-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-tasmania-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carol Brill Sent: Thursday, 5 June 2014 12:10 PM To: 'symonds3'; 'AUS-TASMANIA' Subject: Re: [AUS-Tas] John Jibbs/Jibb/Jebb Hi Trish, Thanks for searching so far and wide for this elusive man - I only checked Tas. and NSW for his death, like, you to no avail.
