I wondered if anyone has any information about Ephraim Mills. He was a convict sent over in 1834 for stealing a 🐑. On board HMS Tanner. I know that he died out there a good age. 24 October 1881. Aged 76 NSW.did he have a pardon.

He died with death registration at West Maitland. There is one female death that could fit:

I can’t see any births to the couple.
