Hi,
I am researching this line from Sydney.
Cornelius John Hines b. 23 July 1805 Stepney, London
He was convicted of larceny and transported to Australia arriving in 1810.
His parents are believed to be Cornelius HIMES and Mary MOSS who were married on 13 April 1802 in St Dunstan's Church, Stepney.
Any further information on this line would be appreciated. ;D
regards
Carol

Frederickay & Cariolana,
These Hines people do seem to be a problem !!
Have either of you come upon a Hines -Donovan c 1851 Ireland / Suffolk, place of birth seems to disagree and also using double barreled surname.
Best Wishes and good luck with yours.

Are you really saying that he was born in 1805 and was convicted of larceny at age 5 and transported to Oz :o Was this his first crime ???

Hi Coriolana
With regards to your Cornelius Hine.
Where was he tried?
Do you have the transcript from his trial?
Larceny usually resulted in a death sentence, was his sentence reduced to transportation for life?
Have you checked for a newspaper report?
What trade/occupation was listed on his convict records?
Sorry to bombard you with questions but I might be able to make a few suggestions, if I have some more information.
Cheers

I appreciate your assistance.
I have some information on Cornelius Hines -he was convicted at the Old Bailey and the records were available online. Conviction - 7 years transportation. Arrived on the Asia.
I am trying to look for his parents - Cornelius Himes (there is some variation in the spellings) and Mary Moss, married in 1802 at Stepney, London. Hence my posting on the England board.
thanks
Carol ;D

HI,
I posted this on the other board as well.
Just had a thought, I am looking for an entry into Australia of a man who gave his name as THOMAS HENRY EMMS when he married in 1842.
I have not been able to locate any arrival convict or otherwise with this name. He suposedly arrived in 1826 when he would have been about 7 years old.
AS I have been searching for quite some time now I have moved on to acronyms etc and Thos HY Emms
might well have been written for Thos HYAMS. What do you know about your Thomas Hyam?
I ask this as there is a complete lack of any reference to any Thomas Emms in the colonies in the period before his marriage. This is most unusual one would have expected a reference of some kind to show up. Perhaps ypour Cornelius used an alias!
He is the only one of 22 arrivals into Australia that I have not been able to pin down.
Just being hopeful

Hi Robyn,
Cornelius came to Australia as a convict, arrived 1825 aged about 20. So no connection to your family. Good luck with your research.
