Thank you, for some reason I didn't think to check prison records on FindMyPast.

I think you are correct about it stating Leander Hulk. That's what it looks like to me.
Looks like he didn't go to Australia then. If he was discharged from Leander, I wonder where he went. He doesn't appear to go back to his family, at least not in 1861.

Hello,
I'm currently researching my friends tree (on and off), I may have came across a Swedish ancestor but I'm not sure.

I have a Charles Frederick/Fredrick who apparently was married to (Or not, I cant seem to find a marriage) Mary Ann McRowe.

They have these children, baptised in Tynemouth and one in Hull -

Anabella Dorothy, bapt 1804 Hull. To Charles Frederick and Mary Ann.
Sarah, born 1805, bapt 1808 Tynemouth. To Charles Frederick, Mariner, Native of Stockholm, and Mary Ann McRowe, Native of Hull.
Mary Ann Frederick, bapt 1808 (Same as Sarah).
*Maria, bapt 1815 South Shields. To Charles Frederick and Mary Ann (I think this is the same couple)
Charles, bapt 1819 Tynemouth. To Charles Frederick, Mariner, and Mary Ann, living at North Shields.
Charlotte, bapt 1820 Tynemouth. Born 1811. (Baptised after father's death).
John, bapt 1820 Tynemouth. Born 1817. (Baptised the same as Charlotte).

Charles dies in 1820 and his birthdate is given as 1772. I'm assuming that as he is given as 'Native of Stockholm' on his daughters baptism, he was from there.
I cant seem to find a marriage record either, at the moment. 

I have abit of a brickwall here.

I have a Richard Manship (Some records write surname as Manchief) who is married to a Lucy. I cant find anything more of these two prior to these children's baptisms.

I have the children as -
All baptised at Leicester, St Mary de Castro.

John Manship, bapt 1737. Married Winfred Johnson (As John Manchief), 1761 Leicester, Buried ?
William Manship, bapt 1740. Married Ann Hickton, 1771 Nottingham. Buried 1777 Nottingham.
Richard Manship, bapt 1742. Buried 1757 'Richard, son of Richard Manchief'
Robert Manchief, bapt 1745. Buried 1766, Leicester St Mary de Castro, 'Robert Manchief'.
Henry Manship, bapt 1747. Married Mary Hanstone, 1776 Leicester. Buried 1782 Leicester.
Samuel Manship, bapt 1751. Married Elizabeth Sibson, 1776 Leicester. Buried 1822 Leicester.
There also appears to be two daughters Elizabeth and Lucy, I cant find a baptism at the moment just a burial 'Elizabeth Manchief, daughter of Richard, buried 1757' and 'Lucy, daughter of Richard Manchief, buried 1763'.

Lucy, Wife of Richard Manchief, buried 1755 Leicester.
I think Richard is the Richard Manchieff (Transcribed as Manchiett) who is buried 1775 Leicester, St Mary de Castro.

There also appears to be a William Manship in Leicester who baptises a son William 28 Dec 1734.
There is also a burial for a William Manship and also perhaps an Ann but I cant make out if it says Manship or wife etc, 15 Jan 1734.

Looking for Catherine Akin/Adkin, I cant seem to find a baptism for her.

She marries Lancelot Hickton, 21 Jul 1744, Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. 'Launcelot Hickton, of St Peters, Nottingham, Framework Knitter, aged 42, and Catherine Akin, of Sneinton, Spinster, aged 20'

License states Catherine is born c1724. The register of Sneinton lists her as 'Akin' but the Nottinghamshire Marriage index transcription records her as 'Adkin'. The abstracts of Nottinghamshire marriage licenses list her as 'Akin' as well.

The only similar baptism I can find in or near Sneinton is for an Elizabeth Adkin bapt 1724 Sneinton, daughter of Robert and Ann.
Although I think this family may be using Adkinson/Adkin/Atkinson and other variants.
This family is also listed in transcription as 'Adkisson'.
Baptisms in Sneinton for 'Adkisson'
John Adkisson, bapt 1713 Sneinton, son of Robert and Ann.
Robert Adkisson, bapt 1715 Sneinton, son of Robert and Ann.
Ann Adkisson, bapt 1718 Sneinton, daughter of Robert and Ann.
Elizabeth Adkisson, bapt 1722 Sneinton, daughter of Robert and Ann. There is a burial in 1724 and 1725 for an Elizabeth with surname both recorded as Adkin and Adkisson. This would fit the two Elizabeth baptisms.
No Catherine though.

Ann, wife of Robert Adkisson, buried 1727 Sneinton.
I think this Robert then goes onto marry a Christian, but now name is listed as 'Adkinson'.

I think I had just misspelt on his marriage, for some reason I thought he was still under Sharp.

That was my thinking. They are using Sharp whilst being brought up by their uncle. My intrigue though is why are they all baptised as Sharp at all? Their parents appear to have married, Their father was John Barsby, the parents appear to die under the name Barsby and the children also revert to Barsby as adults. I wonder what the reason was for the baptisms being under Sharp.
