Sorry for the delay in responding have been away.

Thank you so much Ciderdrinker fills in some gaps for Catherine.

WRT William Thorn's place and date of birth. Supposition: Looking through some of the Old Bailey Court Transcripts for Thorne it appears William was an apple that may not have fallen far from the tree. There are several cases were a William Thorne (perhaps Snr) appears then a gap of approx 15 years which coincides with the birth (if 1763) and William growing up, followed by two other cases later where William Jnr successfully gets off followed by a conviction and transportation.

So for now until I find actual papers/evidence I will go with William Thorn b: 16/12/1763 St Bartholomew the Great, London.

Thanks again, Cheers

Thanks Claire. Papers, unfortunately no. Was working backwards from the known ie convicted in Old Bailey/transported etc and other information gained from like minded ancestry family trees.

You are probably correct wrt birth place in the absence of actual papers. The only snippet of date I have is a convict muster record of 1828 which states his age is 66 years, making DOB c. 1762. Unfortunately place of birth is not mentioned in any convict records just where convicted.

William Thorne; bp: 16 Dec 1763 St Bartholomew the Great, London. Parents William & Elizabeth is a worthy line to follow. Being reasonably new at this how do I follow his line to see if he is in fact the William Thorne transported to Australia?

Any help would be greatly appreciated from the Great Southern Land.

Could someone please assist, as I am at a dead end.

William Thorn /e convict on the Second Fleet (Scarborough) convicted (by second Middlesex Jury before Mr Baron Thompson) 9 / 9 / 1789 of Burglary and Felonious Break and Enter in company of James Houghton. Sentence death commuted to Life in the Colony.

Could someone please confirm his place and date of birth?

Second request:

Catherine Osborne b: abt 1773 place unknown, convicted in the Southampton (Portsmouth) Quarter sessions on the 4 Oct 1804 to 7 years over the seas.

What is her place and date of birth and what was her crime?

rosie99 you rock.

Thanks. Went from a Lieutenant to a Private (not that there is anything wrong with being a Private) to possibly illegitimate. :P

I have not come across the book you refer to. Is it digitised and online?

The Robert Walton Brown from Alnwick who died in France on 30 May 1918 was a Private in the South Wales Borderers.

ShaunJ spot on I think I may have found Robert but this seems to open more questions, as I note it is said he is the son of Mrs Elizabeth Pyle nee Brown.

More investigation required.

Thanks ShaunJ
