My Gr Gr Uncle was transported for 14 years to VDL. He left England 12 Jul 1836 on the 'Lady Nugent'. He was born in 1821 in Colchester Essex. He died in Tasmania in 1900. I was informed that he married the year before he died,to a German lady by the name of Margarette Rubenach, in Launceston Tasmania. It seems highly likely that he had an earlier marriage and possibly children.
