Hi
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction!..
I have a JOSEPH TWITCHETT born c1800 Suffolk, He was in trouble with the law a few times, and was transported for life in April 1838..
He was aboard the ship Lord William Bentinck 2, Bound for Tasmania..

The interesting thing is that his wife at the time of his transportation had at least 2 children, Her name was Susan, I have found her a Pauper in the 1841 census In suffolk..

Joseph had a Ticket of Leave, ANd he appears to have sent for his wife and children, As i have found a record of Susan Dying in Australia in 1851, And his children lived there too..

How would this have worked?.. If she was a pauper, How would she have been notified?.. Would Joseph have paid for her voyage?

I didnt know if there were any records i would be able to view online?.. He appears to have been transported for stealing 2 lambs..
