Australia / Re: Joseph Soames (Exiles Ship ) 1847

Tony,
Sorry for my delayed reply. Life got a bit frantic for a few days with guests staying, and since then I've been sick.
What a pity you don't have more on John Lee. It would be nice to know one way or another if this was the same person. I suspect not but don't have enough information to rule him out.
"My" John Lee was born in Sept 1822, so the age is off but I thought there may have been reason in the circumstances to lie about his age. His parents (from multiple BDMs) were Joseph Lee, a ship's carpenter, and Jane King. The family were in Ratcliff in 1819, and Haggerston in 1831. He had at least two siblings, Joseph and George. I have no details of his family after that time and haven't found them in the 1841 census - too many 'Joseph and Jane's to sort through.
I do know that John Lee was married in Geelong, Victoria, in July 1849. He died in 1905, having been in Victoria for 59 years implying an arrival date of 1946.

Hello Tony,
John Lee sentenced 27/11/1843, transported on the Joseph Somes (1847) is a 'maybe' for my great-great grandfather. I would be delighted to learn anything about his early life that could prove or disprove my connection to him. John Lee is a very common name too!
If he is the same person, I'm very happy to pass on all the information I have on his later life in Australia.
