Hi Paul A further analysis of George Luddington's records: His trial was 5 March 1825 and resulted in him being transported for life to Tasmania. The two other records are the "Convict Muster" of 1826 and 1830. The 1826 muster George Luddington aka John Sergeant, Medway 2nd , Van Diemen's land, Assigned to G. W. Evans esq. The 1830 muster has Medway, Public Works His convict number was 352 - another record I found " George Luddington convict #352 age 34 absconded from Bothwell Bray farm 30 January 1830". This is from the Hobart gazette. Puts his birth c 1796. The note Medway 2nd refers to this being the second trip of the Medway to Tasmania Regards Gerry
