Only viewed it in my phone quickly so not played around properly yet.

Thes are records for ships used to house overflow prisoners from jails NOT convict transportation

My Charles Newey is on there on the Leviathan. He was sentenced to 7 years Transportation in 1838 but was pardoned in 1842. I already had the info.

I think it must be some type of Robbery, but not worked out what the C stands for yet.

Some of the prisoners in the hulks were held there pending transportation; I've found one of mine there, who was transported to Aus 4 months later.

NO, not at all, you've done the right thing by letting us know so we can help you before it becomes a real problem. Best move for you now is to switch off all means of communication with the outside world and lie in a darkened room.
