Seeking information on this ship which brought my convict ancestor to Australia. Have very basic information about the particular voyage (tonnage, master etc) but interested to find out more about the voyage in particular and the ship generally. Convicts were probably/possibly transferred to this ship from the hulks at Sheerness. A nudge in the right direction would be very gratefully received. The ship is referred to as the JOHN 4 in several places but seems to be the same ship. Thank you, Jennifer

Jennifer I checked the London Times and found the following: Wed, Sep 21, 1836 in the ship news: CLEARED OUTWARDS IN BALLAST. The John, for Sydney Tue, Sep 12, 1837 ship news: ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUSTOM-HOUSE, Sept. 11. ...the John, from Sydney Regards..
