Hi all. I came across this thread when researching Samuel Baverstock who was transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1834. I realise this thread is now 11 years old, but I have some information about Samuel. He married my great great aunt Mary Herring in 1844. If anyone is interested do get in touch.

Hi Sue, 
  I’m very interested in finding out more about Samuel and his second wife Mary Herring. Samuel was my husbands ggg grandfather. I’ve read that Mary was also a convict and others accounts say she emigrated with her family to Tasmania. I’d be very grateful for any information (including photos if possible) you have about Samuel and Mary’s  and their life in Australia
Hoping to hear from you soon
Margaret

Hi Margaret, great to hear from you.  I wasn't even sure that anyone would read my post, as I had only just joined last night in order to follow up on the Samuel Baverstock thread. (I am interested in Samuel as he is, so far, the only convict in my family tree, and then only by marriage!)  I would be happy to send you what information I have. Some of it may duplicate what you have already read elsewhere, but that is unavoidable in this game!  Do you belong to Ancestry?  If so I could send you an invitation to look at my tree if you would like to let me know your Ancestry ID.  Otherwise, if you wanted to give me your email, I could send you some information that way. it probably is possible to send links via this site, but as a newbie I don't know how yet!

The basic details are as follows: I am fairly sure that  Mary (b.1820) did come from Cornwall to Hobart, Tasmania with her parents Nicholas and Mary (nee Nottle) and siblings in 1842.  She married Samuel in 1844.  The rest of the family sailed to Adelaide, South Australia in 1845-46, where they had a large number of relatives, both Herring and Nottle.  Samuel, Mary and two children followed them in 1847.

Yes, I have seen a record of a Mary Herring who was a convict and who coincidentally sailed in 1834, but on a different ship than Samuel.  Also she was about 23 in 1833, so it wouldn't be "our" Mary. 

I am interested to know where you are?  I am in Adelaide, South Australia.

Looking forward to hearing from you if you would like more details,

Best regards, Sue.
