Hi Josie Amos was quite a character to say the least he had been twice convicted for misdemenors & 3 times for felonies the sentence in 1825 was for 7 years he severed 6 yrs 7mths I think this was total time for all previous convictions he serve time at sheerness & plymouth the conviction that he was transported for was breaking into a shop & stealing books for which he was sentenced to 14 years this trial was held at Kent Quarter Sessons on the 5th Janurary 1836. His departure was on the 11th April 1836. Harriet remarried in the same year to Thmoas Watson in Rovlenden & raised a new family. Richard & Edward were listed in the Watson household in the 1841 census.Edward immigrated to Australia in 1852 (see attached biography) the last record of Richard is 1861 census where he was stationed at Portsmouth Hampshire as a Sargjent in the 1st Battalion 11th Regiment. I have not been able to track the movements on the regiment to see where Richard went. Amos married a fellow convict Ann Newman/White on the 23rd December 1843 in Tasmania he moved his family to Victoria in 1852 to Barry's Reef about 50klms from Castlemaine. where Edward first settled in Victoria it isn't known if Edward & Amos did ever meet in Victoria.

Hi Steven, For anything military, it's always worth checking www.regiments.org. Here's a numeric listing of British regiments you might find helpful: www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/lists/bargxrefn.htm Some regiments have very detailed year-by-year deployment and service information.
