Christian HANSON - Is this convict mine?!

[bitzar]

Hi team

I have a Christian HANSON having issue with Mary at St Luke Old St, Finsbury between 1790 - 1801.  Lets say this makes him born about 1768 right, give or take!

I haven't got a baptism or death for him... only a possible marriage to a Mary BEALE in 1785.

I've now found that a Christian HANSON, aged 49 from Middlesex was tried and found guilty of Larceny (He stole 2 pieces of something... I cant read it) on 17th September 1817 and transported.  However it looks like he died before he was transported on 30 June 1818 at a Hospital somewhere, I also cant read it.

Can anyone fill me in on what happened and if its mentioned anywhere about his family so I can link this man to my research...

Many thanks

Where did you find his criminal record? (We might be able to have a look at it to try to decipher those tricky words).

Hi Bitzar

He stole two pieces of carpeting. He was received onto the hulk ship Bellerophon from Newgate on 22 October 1817

[..claire..]

The Hulk Ship register says he died on the 30 June 1818 at Bat ?? Hospital Ship

Haven't a clue what that says, will dig further

Claire.... OK, I'd be interested to know what the hospital name is then.... I will try to paste it here.

Would the baptisms of his children have his occupation?!
