What Happened To My Convict?!?

[Ratty]

Anyone with any tips on where to look for information about what happened to my gr gr gr granduncle Thomas Albone? He was convicted of attempting to poach and assault in March 1836.  On the 13th May 1836 he was sent to the prison hulk Justitia and then in July he was transported aboard the Lady Nugent to Tasmania.  I am led to believe that at some time after that he married and that there was a family. This is where I hit my problem......where do I go from here?  Any suggestions, help gratefully received.

The Tasmanian archives contain much information about convicts (and free settlers) in Tas.
http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/

If you cannot find any information in their online data, they do have a research service available. I could not find any detail of your man doing a quick search of the online indexes.

On the AVRI (covers NSW Vic Tas and WA) to late 1800s - there is only one record for an ALBONE  -  Elizabeth, born in NSW 1861, father William. There was nothing for ALLBONE, but many records for ALBON, although not in Tasmania.

You might be lucky and find something on this site too:

I have found a few things on genseek, relating to a free settler of mine.

Hello Genni
Yes could very well be.  Thomas was born around 1812 so with that death date should have been around 60, but the age is not that far out so I reckon it's a definate possibility.
Thanks alot

I was wondering if I could be cheeky and ask where you found the info and if there is any indication of a child?

The information is from the Victorian Indexes.
You can download the image online ($17.50 AUS)

Just go to the download page.

George (34) & Phoebe JUDD (26) and children Joseph (4) & Sarah Ann (infant) arrived in Victoria on the 'Royal George' November 1849.

Both Joseph and Sarah Ann marry under the surname ABLON. 

2 children:-
John Thomas born 1860 Footscray Ref: 647  died 3weeks Ref: 396
Alfred William born 1863 Footscray Ref: 2101 died 4monthd Ref: 4140

Emma ALBON born Footscray married in 1873 to John STEWART Ref: 2794. Unfortunately her birth is before registration.
She gives her parents as Thomas ALBON & Phoebe Unknown when she dies in 1914 (aged 62) Footscray Ref: 5584

Alfred william's birth should list all the children born to Thomas & Phoebe.
