Hi everyone. 

Firstly thank you for contacting me

Hector Mclean was Roman Catholic.  He was married in Australia to a Mary Tierney in May 1835 at St Marys  RC Curch Sydney.

I do have descendant line here in Australia.

He was an Inn Keeper but not before being an overseer of convicts at a friend's property (I would assume). His  friend was Alexander Mcleod

Regards Debbie

Thanks john for the info.  I did get the goal records for my g.g. grandfather - 3 in all - from the UK.  There is nothing on there about his parents.  I even obtained a copy of the trial - nothing of his parents there either. 
I cant find his parents full names or addresses nor his siblings. His 3rd offfence was stealing pigeons then straight on the hulk Retribution awaiting transportation.  Arrived Sydney in 1833 on the Mangles (6)
He had tattoos left arm SH SH 1829 and a mermaid  right arm IH AH IH SH TH SH. Possibly the initials of his family. I do find the mermaid tattoo unusual.  Regards Debbie Qld
