    Default Convict to Tasmania Australia

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone had access to information about convicts sent to Tasmania Australia?
    I have an ancestor who I believe may be a convict to Tasmania around 1833. Her name is Sarah Mosely. She was born around 1810-1815 in London.
    I was able to find this report on the Old Bailey website:

    SARAH MOSELY, theft : simple grand larceny, 18th October, 1832.
    The Proceedings of the Old Bailey Ref: t18321018-199

    See original
    Trial Summary:

    * Crime(s): theft : simple grand larceny,
    * Punishment Type: transportation,
    (Punishment details may be provided at the end of the trial.)
    * Verdict: Guilty: pleaded guilty,
    * Other trials on 18 Oct 1832
    * Name search for: SARAH MOSELY,
    * Associated Records...


    Original Text:

    2406. SARAH MOSELY was indicted for stealing, on the 1st of October, 6 shirts, value 1l. 10s., and 1 pinafore, value 4d. , the goods of James Neat ; and that she had before been convicted of felony. - To which she pleaded

    GUILTY . Aged 20. - Transported for Seven Years .

    Not 100% sure this is my Sarah, but definitely possible.

    Is anyone able to find out more about this prisoner? What ship she was transported on, and where to? etc.

    I would be very grateful for any help.

    Thanks Barrie.
    Is there any way I can find anything else about what happened to her once she arrived in Tas?

    There were two Sarah Mosely or Moseley, one arrived 27th June 1828,

    the other [yours? on "Jane"] 30th June 1833. ref: CON 18/24, record CON 40/7, Indent MM 33/2

    Permission to marry [convicts]: Sarah Mosely[arrived on "Jane"] to Joseph Duckens ["Joan 1"] on 4th February 1835. ref: CON 52/1, page 33.

    A Sarah Mosely died 12 August 1874 at Launceston. ref: RGD 35/2467

    A Sarah Mosely married Cornelius Sullivan at Launceston 28th August 1877. ref: RGD 37/498.

    You will need to contact Tasmanian State Archives for details and cost.
