Find Ancestors

Hi Mel
Yes it was.
The original punishment was death,but new laws meant it was changed to transportation for life. He would probably have had a slap on the wrist these days.
Think he was married too.
Pat

His crime was House Breaking.

Thanks everybody
Pat

I'm not sure Dea- the details from the link I posted seem to be the same as the record on Ancestry (which I've pm'd)-

The details from your link give his age (which is not on the Ancestry record) so this must be a different document or an actual death certificate? It may be worth paying the extra??

That looks to be a better one to order Gritty and probably cheaper too.

Will pm record on Ancestry

Te above is 'probably' the one I have found, with reference number, here:

Death:
516/1843 V1843516 27B GARDNER CHARLES AGE 37

a copy can be sent by e-mail or post to you for $31 Australian (I don't know how much that equates to ?

From:
https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au/lifelink/familyhistory/search?10

However, the person on Ancestry who has the details of this in his tree must have a copy which he might share with you? - Worth making contact first.

Hi PricklyHolly
Thank you so much.I bet this is him.
Pat

There is no information to back it up but......

A tree on Ancestry has this death for him...

Death 7 Nov 1843 in Parramatta Gaol, New South Wales, Australia

Hello everyone.
Thanks for your help.Yes he is the one bapt 1803.
We know he went to New South Wales on "The Mermaid" in Dec 1829 and arrived May 1830,after being transported for life in 1829.Finding out what happened to him after that could be difficult though.
That's why I wondered if another member had him on their tree and may be able to fill in some gaps.But I'll use the "search all trees" way to start with.
