The Peter Tidbury who was born in 1803 in Kingsclere (son of William Tidbury and Charlotte Andrews) was possibly transported to Australia. He is listed in the Criminal Registers 1791-1892 on Ancestry: Peter Tidbury Easter Session 1821 Crime: Larceny Sentence: Transportation 7 years. The name Peter Tidbury also appears in the Criminal Petitions Index 1819 -1839: TIDBURY Peter Felony HAM 13 May 1825 7y Penitentiary; Retribution; FP 1824 76 Ok48. I don't know if this means that the sentence was changed on appeal and he was sent to prison rather than being transported. I've got a note that the Criminal Petitions Index records are at the National Archives under HO 17. I've not yet checked out any of these records. I have no marriage for Peter Tidbury and have been unable to find him in any censuses. I don't have a record of any other Peter Tidburys. Debbie
