Oh Tuppie,

                        I think it could be further on that page there is this

Robert Phillips/marr/6 children/gardener/can read & write/
1837/Oct/Derby gaol to hulk "Ganymede"/Woolwich/
New South Wales/ship "Earl Grey"/19 Jul 1838/
2 previous convictions/"thief for many years, but repectable connections"

That fits with the transportation info I got and he was married with 6 children at the time of trial. Obviously a real rogue

The pieces seem to be fitting together nicely now.

Thanks a million for that gem of a site. Hope you've put a link on the main board as I've found 2 other convicts connected with my tree. Its a very useful site. And I'm sure lots on here could make use of it.

Oh I'm a happy bunny thanks to tuppie
