Somerset / JOYCE, Benjamin
« on: Thursday 16 February 06 01:19 GMT (UK) »
Hi, my ggg grandfather Benjamin Joyce was born 27/7/1821 in Somerset (at this point I can't ascertain the parish). At some time prior to 1834 his family moved to the Middlesex area.
On 3/7/1834 he was convicted at The Old Bailey of stealing shoes and sentenced to transportation to Australia.
His parents are Benjamin and Sophia. I can not locate any other details about this couple and have struck a brick wall. I do know that he had a brother Samuel born 3/2/1836, christened 2/5/1836 at St Leonards Shoreditch.
If anyone has any additional information about this family, your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks & regards
Bret Ellis
