Good afternoon, I was trying to find a email list for Plymouth but the closest I could get was this list, so I am hoping someone on the list either knows where I should be looking or maybe even the chap I am talking about. Robert Gillet (Jillet) aka Thomas Elston was (sentenced to death) transported to Australia in 1799 and in his Old Baily court case in London, he made this statement Prisoner. "I did not know that I should be tried till Thursday or Friday, and I have no friends here; I have got a wife and five children; I am a shoemaker; I was at Plymouth, and worked with Mr. Wake all last winter." This should all have been in the same year, 1799. Robert/Thomas was aged 36. He married again in Australia and is my 5xg grandfather. The wife he mentions never came out to Australia, so I am hoping that the family all stayed in Plymouth and even more hopeful that someone may have information about them. I would love to hear from anyone who may be able to offer assistance. kind rgds Phil Butler.....Qld, Aus.
