William BARTON, aged 22, John (4), 1837, assigned to Mc Lailey/Mr Lailey/M Lailey at Patterson's River
I had a look at the records of a few other convicts on the same ship and they are all noted as John (4) 1837. I believe this is the voyage:
John II
Dep: 30 09 1836 Sheerness
Arr: 07 02 1837 NSW
260 embarked
255 arrived
Master: Adam DIXON
Surgeon: Chas INCHES
Newspaper reports don't seem to assign a number, it is just the
John. The John I made 4 voyages, and this ship appears to be the John II, so this voyage should be John II (1)
Unfortunately (for you) William was pardoned so there is no certificate of freedom which would give more info. You would need to see his convict indent to find a native place, but I don't see that it will help.
