Samuel Sheepwash born C1835
« on: Thursday 12 May 16 07:17 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate a Samuel Sheepwash born about 1835. His Native Place is said to be : 1. Gloucester, 2. Cheltenham. Only other information I have is that he was transported to Australia in 1852. His offence was larceny, committed at age 13 in 1848 and he was tried in Clerkenwell, Middlesex.

I had not considered Sheepway and then there is Shipway, have a list of other variations that I constantly use to no avail. It is similar. Thank you for that. Its a bit hard when I have no clue who parents could be. Or where. I will look into what you have mentioned and see if anything comes of them.

Thought I had replied to the last post but I must have closed the page down without actually sending it. I have always taken ages as a rough estimate on records. Didn't know though that they were rounded down.

Do you know if they have census records for gaols. Samuel would have been in either Parkhurst or I think Millbank in 1851 as he was transported in 1852?
