Look up please

His convict records state He was born in Bethenall Green and that his mother attended the courts but that he was a lodger other than his mothers residence. Transported to aust 1829. On the ship YORK.   I have all relevant info in aust but dont know where he came from.

Hi Pamela

You might try looking for him on this site:

http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/

Do you have any information on his crime?  If you had the county of birth you could try looking there for his conviction.  Is there anything else that might help us to identify his origin? Is his father mentioned on his marriage certificate?

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
