Chris,
I have only been able to locate the same Hesket etc.) individuals as yourself on the BDM CD's using all types of wild card searches.
I have also looked at both NSW and Tasmania without success.
On the IGI I found a maraige for a George Heskith to an Ann about 1824 in Lancashire. Would be worth you looking at it.
It is not unusaul to find that many early records for Victoria are missing. Perhaps lost in fires and floods before they could be centralised for compilation by the officials. (several in my lines of research alone all have death records though!!!! no births and often no paents maraiges pre 1857)
good luck Robyn in Wodonga

Chris,
It seems really weird that every image would be missing when there's such a spread of years and places:
George b (Byong) and d, both 1856
Charles Henry b (Pleasant C) and d, both 1858
Ellen d 1858
Elizabeth d 1870
Charles d 1899 (Apsley)
Especially the 1899 death ...
Might it be worth contacting the Vic BDM people for any further explanation they can give?
Though, even if you are able to get the 1899 death, the information in it will depend on what the informant knew ...
JAP

My 3xGt Grandfather George SMITH (b1811) was found guilty at Aylesbury Quarter Sessions of stealing a horse on 15th October 1844 and transported as an "Exile" on board the Maitland. He arrived at Williamstown on 9th November 1846 and apparently settled there initially.
He appears to have been quite skilled, working as both plumber/ glazier and painter/ engraver as well as being taught the trade of Tinman whilst incarcerated in Pentonville.
George had a wife and four sons back in England, but I've found no trace of him returning once his sentence (10 years) had been served. In fact, upon being sentenced to transportation to Australia, he turned to the judge and said "thankyou sir- I have been there before and shall be glad to get out of this country", so it would seem that he wouldn't have wanted to come back anyway!
Unfortunately, the trail has now run cold and with a name like George Smith I wouldn't imagine it'd be easy to find out what happened to him once he arrived in Victoria. His trade might narrow the search down a bit though, as there can't have been that many plumbers/ painters in Williamstown in the 1840s.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can find out more about George? He may even have remarried and had more children out there, but again with a name like Smith, it wouldn't be easy to determine this.
