Francis Flexmore 29 March 1767, High Gate, St Michael, Middlesex. Father Francis Flexmore, Mother Sarah from Hornsey, Middlesex. Apprenticed to a glass cutter is the only one I can find.

What was your mans trade? Was he a convict?

There was a Francis Flexmore convicted in 1789 in Middlesex and transported for 7 years to Hobart Town on the ship Neptune.

Here is a good Australian source to search for more evidence

Hi Whiteout7
Yes, he was a convict on the 2nd Fleet on the ship "Neptune" and arrived on Norfolk Island in 1790 for stealing. I don't know his trade, but in 1796 he became a Constable for the police on Norfolk Island.
Thank you for the info.
