Your help and opinions please
I've been attempting the Lincs to the Past site and have come across a Robert Dawes transported to New South Wales.
Reference Name Convict 489 Name: Dawes Robert of Claypole ( have no idea how that Smilie got in there and I can't get rid of it. It should be Dawes. Age:30/36 Crime:Stealing 12 bushels of wheat, the property of William Loughton; stealing 8 tame fowls, the property of [ ] Lunn; and 4 other charges at the same sessions Place of Crime:Claypole Court:Kesteven Quarter Sessions Trial Date:03/07/1834 Sentence:14 Years Ship:Westmoreland Destination:New South Wales Transportation Date:1835 Notes:Married with 1 child. He was described as having a "very bad" character, unable to read or write, and being in a good state of health. Convicted with William Emmons, John Scholey and Robert Wordsworth Repository: Lincolnshire Archives [057] I do have a Robert Dawes son of William and Elizabeth baptised 1802 in Claypole. Free Reg have 2 children baptised to Robert Dawes and Jane in Claypole. Mary 17 Sep 1832 and Elizabeth Jane 12 Oct 1834. If these two Roberts are the same person then the transportation document says he has one child. I assume one died or his wife was pregnant at the time of the trial.

Marg, as you have FMP you should be able to see this, which has some detail:
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/records/...e&pageNumber=1 It mentions Robert Dawes' wife Jane.

Search the newspapers - I put in "Robert Dawes" and a year span of "1830 to 1837" and clicked on Lincolnshire for the county. Or you could enter "Claypole". It was the only hit.

I've removed the smiley for you, Marg. It was caused by the lack of a space between the : and the D.

FamilySearch has a marriage between a Robert Daws and a Jane Jessop 8 Dec 1831 at Long Bennington, Lincolnshire, but they also have a baptism of a Robert Jessop Dowse 10 Sep 1837 at Kirton in Holland, Lincolnshire, parents Robert Dowse and Jane. The birth is registered Jul-Sep 1837 so it isn't a case of him being conceived just before Robert Dawes was transported in 1835.

The NSW convict musters for 1837 show Robert Dawes age 32. Then he is listed in the Tasmania pardons for 1841-2, under regulations of May 1835. (These are both definitely the same Robert as it shows ship name and place and date of trial.)
