Hi Listers,
Can you please advise as to where I can obtain (if possible) convict records for Thomas Stephens/Stevens, born Cavan in 1786. Convict records indicate he was convicted at Cavan on 18 March 1816. He was sentenced to 14 years and a year later was transported to Australia via the "Pilot". The minimal records I have sourced do not indicate of what he was convicted of or where he was living at the time of his offence.
At the time of his conviction, he was married to Margaret Scott and had 4 children. I have no information on Margaret. The only information I have is on son, Thomas, born 1814 in Cavan. Other children were Richard, John and Betsy.
Any advise or assistance would be greatly apprecoated.
