Dear Col C,
Thanks for finding a little more about these Heath's, I'm still not sure if they are 'my' Heath's yet. I hope to one day make a connection to a descendant to see if there is a genetic link.
My William the convict was tried at 1 Aug 1833 Warwick Assizes, no former convictions recorded, convicted of stealing cloth. Sentenced to 7 years transportation
28 Aug 1833 At Woolwich, aboard the hulk Justitia, awaiting transportation, departed England 7 Mar 1834 with 300 other convicts aboard the Susan.
9 Jul 1834 Arrived at Sydney Cove, aboard the Susan. Recorded as single, can read, a Protestant, a gun finisher, sallow and freckled, 5'3", brown hair and hazel eyes.
Distinguishing marks: small mole right side of neck, anchor in blue ink and four red dots on lower left arm, blue ring on middle finger of left hand, man and woman inside right arm
(New South Wales, Australia, Convict Indents, 1788-1842)
Cheers and Happy New Year from down under , Robin
