Welcome to RootsChat! ;D

That's a tough ask! Not exactly an uncommon name, and with no other details, he is going to be hard to pin down?

A possibility:
Baptism 16th October 1814 at Corsham, Wiltshire
Daniel Clark, son of Thomas & Mary Clark


Also, Box is very close to Bath, and therefore close to Somerset.
So, 2 counties to look at! :-\
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)

I can find details of his crime and sentence - transported for 7 years for stealing two spoons from a Mary Smith - but no other details other than aged 18 in 1832. The only baptism I can find is the one in Corsham which is only a few miles from Box.
