If anyone wants to know more about the descendants of Sylvanus Buckland let me know or contact the Jarrahdale Historical Society in Western Australia ( its a great little town) .
He did indeed get transported , was unmarried (only 19) and lived in Jarrahdale. He got ten years for stealing a silver watch. I visited his grave last week. His son Benjamin Sylvanus (my grandfather) survived WW1 however his brother John was killed July 1917 in Ypers and is buried near the Mennin Gate. There are many living family members in Western Australia, where, convicts are cool...lol.
