Reading a conviction from 1828
« on: Wednesday 18 August 21 13:42 BST (UK) »
Hello;  forum newbie here, so apologies if I have not followed some rules.  ::)
Doing some research I came across an ancestor on a prison hulk bound for Australia in 1828
But I cant read his conviction.
Any help would be appreciated..

So this clip says
'Stg 6 pr silk stockgs"

Presumably 'stealing 6 pair silk stockings'

It looks like a very long 'g' both in 'Stg' and 'Stockgs'

Where did you find the alternative source for confirmation?  Can you share?

You may be able to locate more information about his offence in his convict records in Australia.

Have you searched at his destination? NSW or Van Diemen's Land.

One of the uploaded images is from NSW State Archives partnership with Ancestry.  The Certificate of Freedom displayed helped me locate some information about William TATHAM per the Morley in 1829.   That info includes:

Certificate of Freedom issued 26 Feb 1835

Marriage in NSW 19 June 1837 : William Tatham, bachelor, residing in the Parish of St Andrew and Frances Eliza Cambridge, single, residing in the parish of St James, married by Banns with consent of the Congregation by Rev Robert CARTRIGHT,  William and Frances both made their marks, Both witnesses signed.  Witnesses were James Walker of York Street, Sydney and John Heble of Sussex Street, Sydney.  The marriage is recorded in the church register of St James (C of E) Sydney at entry number 145.   The NSW BDM reference number in Early Church Records Volume 21 is line
1491.

I have the transcript of the 1838 baptism for their daughter.  Is that of interest to you?
