Hi Jamie Lee

The information you want may be at the Tasmania archives. They have very few online indexes for free settlers. An email to them may provide some information

Hello  there  Jamie Lee

If he was the convict David Ramsay

the above link  will direct you  to  a fellow researcher,  but  I  don't know whether it is still active.

 hi jamielee, the ship was the claudine, if you write to the scottish record office you can get davids trial record , very impresive record. tasmania archives also records on david and family. regards mark lepp, mooroopna victoria australia 3629. ps. australian archives news papers follow promps do surname search , papers go back early 1800's david mentioned many times

Hi Jamie Lee,
David was on the Claudine 1821 [convict], Dinah the Strathfieldsay [free female assisted immigrant], 1834.
Elizabeth [first wife, used name Lowden in her convict records a.k.a. Watson and Wilson] on ship the Henry 1825.
Daughters Janet born in Scotland, Harriet born in Hobart from the first marriage.
Convict records on line at LINC (search Tasmanian Archives, search by surname (or ship) in name search) Free Access.
David had a second family with Dinah in Hobart and Geelong, noted elsewhere in Roots Chat.

Hi to you all

I use "Tasmanian Names Index" .  Not bad, and I use it for Births Deaths & marriages.

It is the Tasmanian Govt site - Linc/Tasmania.
