What exactly does 'Rec'd a pass as a pauper by Mr Ryan's order to proceed to Windsor' mean? I am presuming it is something to do with being aloud into Windsor as a pauper or am I lost in another world? ???

What a coincidence though! Michael Noy, his old pal was living down in Windsor until he died in 1847. I will be buying that particular death certificate and I am hoping it doesn't take to long to arrive in the mail! This is the real big lead I have found and I thank you all for helping out once again. Just like Noy, I cannot find anything on his life back in England apart from the records of his conviction, but maybe the death certificate might bring some more light to the situation.

It appears that being classed as a pauper was a type of release but still with restrictions.

You will also find official records for the same chap under the name of Wm BALDRAY, William BALDRAY, and you will find the ship listed as Fairlie, Fairley, Farely, Lairlie (someone mis-read the 19th Century handwritten F for an L) and other variations.

He may have been convicted of some colonial crimes, as he seems to have served time in Parramatta Gaol after receiving the C of F in 1847

Thank you Jamjar and JM!  ;D The links and resources always help bring their life to light. It seems he had a rather tough life didn't he! I am hoping the end of his story won't be as harsh as the start and middle.
