PEDDER, Joseph -COMPLETED with thanks

[ezekiel]

 I have just received my husband's 3xgreat Grandfather's convict records from Tasmanian Archives and therein it states that Joseph PEDDER was 'Native' to Barnett, Herefordshire .
Joseph was a 21 year old 'bud and graft' gardener before he was sent off to Tasmania for life, the offence was assisting in Highway Robbery by "picking pockets". His estimated year of birth then being c1809.

Thankful for any assistance in finding his birth/christening etc.

Hi Ezekiel

Are you sure its Barnett Herefordhire, and not the Chipping Barnet in Hertfordshire

Famliy search has an Extracted Birth record for a Joseph Pedder christened 13 July 1806, Chipping Barnet Hertfordshire, parents Joseph and Sarah.
I canot find a Barnett in Herefordshire

If this is him then it looks like you might be right about the birthplace Ricky

Hiya Daisypetal and Ricky1,
Looks like you two may have found him.
I have the copy of the original Convict records sent by Archives Tasmania and on there the places mentioned are definitely Barnett, Herefordshire as Native place and tried in Hertfordshire...I even got my hubby to look at the copy...but I defer to you both in that you two have far greater knowledge than myself on this area of England and it is possible that the Record's officer got the 2 counties mixed up.
It certainly fits with his age so I shall go with that for the moment...the death cert and his will give no further info that helps the case.
Thank you to both of you for being so helpful. Muchly appreciated.
Cheers and blessings.
