I found this thread very interesting as I'm always keen to fing out anything I can about my own convict.  On the link Jennaya posted to the Convicts to Australia website it states that there were musters or censuses in 1832 (2), 1833, 1835, 1836 (2), 1837 (2).  I've found my man on the 1837 muster which is widely available, and the Censuses and Musters section of the same website states that the 1833 and 1836 censuses have not survived, but there is no mention of 1832 and 1835 there.  Does anyone know where I might be able to find out more about these two?

The documents are in HO 10/48 and 10/50 and are archived as a "List of Convicts", not a muster.

They are digitised on Ancestry.

Margaret McENTAGGART was 27 when she arrived in 1854 (per reply #38)
And still 27 in 1856 when she married (per reply#16)

Umm does that give me permission to have a variable age too  ;D ;D
She was 53 when she died in 1882  so must be born between 1825 and 1830
That is a narrow time span to search many thanks
I'm off now for a few days but will be keen to see what develops many thanks to all concerned

Trees :) off to celebrate her X-2 or maybe I can stretch it to -3 birthday with the cousins
