Can you help- I am trying to trace an ancestor who was transported to Australia on the Prince Regent which left Portsmouth June 1827, arriving NSW Sept 1827. His name was Thomas Cooling (alias Cooke) from Dunston, Lincolnshire. I have made this enquiry before & was told he not seen on any list- just that 180people left England & 180 arrived! As he was a criminal (he stole 7 chickens!) i don't know whether he would count as passenger or cargo? I have rechecked all the court detail & they confirm the ship & dates & state the ships master as William Richards. I have no idea where to look next- please can anyone help? Thankyou. Julie x
