Cork / William McCarthy.....born 1818 Cork then at 20 sent to Australia for 15 years.
« on: Wednesday 03 March 10 04:21 GMT (UK)  »
My descendant was born 1818 Cork Ireland.

He was 20 when tried at Central Criminal Court 23/10/1837 London.
His offence was picking pockets, he was a showmakers apprentice - was Protestant and his convict # was 38/933,37

His sentence - 15 years and was sent to Australia on the "Bengal Merchant".

I have details after he arrived, but am looking for something about his birth, and even his family.

On the paperwork from the trial, no  mention was given about his parents - any help??????  Thank you......Lee

I have Stanley J. Gilbert in my tree (born 1922 UK.

Is there a Census in Victoria that he could be in?

His wife Eunice, died in 1965 and was at Fawkner Memorial Park. Perhaps he was around before and after that time.

Thank you for any assistance here.
