Hi Ardy,
Being now fairly certain that I am descended from Hester's second marriage I have not taken the Oldfield line any further back.
Hester's second marriage was probably bigamous as it looks like her first husband James Oldfield (father of John) was also transported to Australia. It is all very murky.
We have obtained as much as possible regarding the trials and transportation.
Jeff in Australia who is descended from John Oldfield has been continuing the research and if you wish I can put you in touch with him, you may well have much info to share. Can you reply off board here?
Regards
Derek
