Thanks once more for the contributions. I mentioned before John had a chequered history in N Z. I think they had 4 children in total. She had apparently run off at one time with a sea captain

Hi Judith,
Thanks for your thoughts. I suppose it is possible. The next piece of evidence after the 1841 census is that his parents and some of the family have returned to Ireland and where he was born in Galway.
I next pick them up on the Griffith valuation tables in Clare Galway ( 8 miles from Galway city ) in1855.
Regards
Brian

Guess the guy from the Matchless was a John CORDIER which was mis- transcribed as CORDIAL.
He did travel onto New Zealand and had a very chequered history there!!!

Many thanks for all your contributions.
Maybe I have maligned the man.
Doesn't seem possible that he was on the Matchless from California. He is certainly the same guy mentioned in the garrison town in Wales in the 1841 census with his mother, father ( listed elsewhere in the census with the Rifles brigade at the barracks ) and his siblings.
Many thanks
Brian

Just found the details of John's transportation. He came over on the Matchless and his goal number was 1319.

Hi Muss,
I have the details of the marriage, but I also had details of a John Cordial aboard a convict which unfortunately i have mislaid. I suspect it is the same person as the surname Cordial is quite rare and the dates also tally.
I was trying to get the reason for his transportation.
