Hi there,
You mention that Thomas Page held the licence for the Steam Engine Inn in the 1850s. The index has omitted several years ..so the index does not cover from May 1849 to April 1853. He may well have held a licence in those years, although the index only shows from 1853. He may also have held a licence while still under the Life sentence, prior to being issued with a Conditional Pardon. The extant records do not seem to have his name with a publican's licence. Transportation of Convicted persons to NSW effectively ceased in 1840. Thomas Page received a Conditional Pardon in October 1849. Many serving Life sentences received CPs in the late 1840s. The December 1837 muster has him as assigned to a James OATLEY. Perhaps the same James OATLEY who in the 1840s had the Sportsman Licence Cnr Pitt and Goulburn Streets, Sydney.

Here's some that I have gleaned from various New South Wales resources. Perhaps these details will be helpful for some of the RChatters on the Montgomerbyshire Wales board where this thread is.
NSW BDM online index has Elizabeth PAGE as aged 79 years, died Sydney. Death registration #236, date of death as 16 February 1899.
Probate Granted as per SMH 25 March 1899.
