Hi stewnkez,
A Big Welcome to RootsChat and the Wiltshire Board ;D
Do you know where in Wiltshire Samuel was from? Do you have his convict papers from Australia? What was his occupation in Australia?
I see Samuel WALLIS and Thomas TIBBLES were convicted at New Sarum Assizes 6 March 1847 and transported for 10 years. Arrived aboard the Adelaide 8 Aug 1849
Cheers Kris :)

Thanks Chris
No convict papers but yes that's him, tried at New Sarum, 10 yrs, came out on the Adelaide. Went to Berrima Nsw. He was a boot maker. his baptism record (I think it's his ) indicate Wroughton 17.3.1816 son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Grubb) The dates and names tally with his marriage cert.
I appreciate your vey quick response, and help
Later,
Kerry :)
