Dear All, 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. I can't find any version of his surname among the convicts on the AOT site, nor in the Colonial Links site, yet he appeared in court and was convicted in 1829 and in 1831 - see below. John Jibb for stealing 8 bushels of wheat from his master Mr. Richard Troy, and Jas. M'Coy a quantity of tea from his master Mr. David Lord, were each sentenced to 7 years transportation. - The Hobart Town Courier 20 February 1830 and John Jebb was convicted of stealing eight bushels of wheat, value £2, from his master Mr. Richard Troy. - The Hobart Town Courier 30 January 1830 THEN At the Supreme Court on Monday, Rich. Crozier was tried and found guilty of being illegally at large while under sentence of transportation. These five prisoners - John Jebb, James M'Donald, John Barker, Mathew M'Avoy, Edward Broughton, pleaded guilty to the same charge for which Crozier was convicted. The whole of the prisoners were under sentence of either the Criminal Court of this colony or the Court of Quarter Session, and their offence by an Act of Council here subjects them to the penalty of death. - The Hobart Town Courier 2 July 1831 Any help in finding anything on this man's fate would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Carol Brill.

Hi Carol, On Trove item in The Australian (Sydney) 20 February 1847 notice of a Conditional Pardon granted to John Jibb ,Lord Melville 2. Not sure if that means he was back in NSW at that time. Rose
