Thank you one and all your help is much appreciated.
I see the spelling mistakes now - funny how the eye sees what it expects. He was a schoolmaster later on so I read 'school'. As Karen pointed out though, I think it is most likely, along with the 'obatain', a spelling mistake made by the recorder. Thanks Karen
The 'some C' for some cousins sounds right too, thank you horselydown86 and for the Newry, Ireland information. I've just found another record (UK prison record on Ancestry) that says under Native Place: Newry, Ireland. (It also says he has an Uncle Wm Lee in Leeds Yorkshire.)
Also thanks shanreagh for the Demarara location - I'd been labouring under the assumption it was in the Bahamas area...
