Thomas EASTERBY - Convict to Australia
« on: Wednesday 31 March 10 13:23 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find information on Thomas EASTERBY born about 1816 in Kirkbymoorside. He was convicted of theft in 1847 and transported to Tasmania in 1852. 

His convict records in 1852 state that he was informed of his wife's death and he is now a widower with 4 children. Any idea how I could find out what happened to those children?  I've searched the the 1841 census with a possible match, however the wife in that family still appears in the 1861 census (although without a husband, but with 2 more children.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
