Title: Convict John DAINES, Carleton Rhode
Post by: Marg S on Tuesday 16 April 13 06:45 BST (UK)

Hi from Australia,

Further to my previous posts from years ago I have finally found a possible link to the birth of my  gg. grandfather, convict John DAINES, born abt 1813 Norfolk who committed highway robbery at Wymondham in 1831 with his partners in crime were William MILLER and James POLL.  All 3 were transported to Sydney, Australia in 1832 where they settled and married.

There is a John DAINES born 23 October 1813 at Carleton Rhode and baptised 20 Nov 1813, son of John DANES/DAINES, occupation Carpenter, and Sarah BARNARD. They were married 18 Nov 1812 by banns. Witnesses were an Ebenezar MILLER and Mary DANES/DAINS.

As convict John's occupation was also a Carpenter and Carleton Rhode is close to Wymondham, I am hoping this might be the link I have been searching for.

I would greatly appreciate help from anyone has a link with any on the names or who can head me in the right direction with finding further info.

Thanks,
Marg S
Sydney, Australia
