Hi Debra...Thanks for your imput to my search..

Yes I  found something  on   http://www.linc.tas.gov.au/
Its the same one as yours...

Had convict 1831-1832  hard to read
2nd Convict 1842 but died few years later
As stated earlier i am convinced he was born in 1810 based on newspaper article saying died in his 71st year 1880
But i will try to access what you have supplied , least it is closer

Update...that would make him 22years old when arrived in Tasmania...?
Thanks again Debra

He sounds like a hopeful possibility, Debra.

You are a whiz with the Tasmanian records. I never have much success.
A read reveals he was a groom before conviction and seems to have  huge number of tattoos of various types including Scottish soldiers, hearts, women and men in boxing attitiudes

Do Tassie marriage and death certificates show father/parent's names at the time Robert married and died?

(Linc site not working for me atm so have given up  )

Robert was 57 when he married Ann? Was he married before?

No, Ruskie. They have only scant details about the couple. OP has the certificate of marriage and death of Robert and I have seen them digitised online too.
Nothing to reveal really.

Hi everyone
Think He was released about 1838-1839..played up a bit he did..must of got sick of him
So now I have to track from 1838-1866 when he married
Then from conviction in 1831 in Perth , back to Forfarshire/Angus  where he was born ?
Oh and the tatt  ES and RM
RM would have to be robert mitchell
Cheers all
