Many thanks for quick reply. My Ancestor Samuel Pitt being in the 4th Foot Regiment accompanied convicts to Sydney NSW in 1831. Samuel following his discharge decided to remain in New South Wales but did not try to arrange his family to join him. The Tiverton Poor Union/Church paid for his wife, Ann and three children Roger, Mary Ann (my Great Great Grandmother) and Charles in September 1837 to join him in Sydney. I found records of Samuel (who later died) and Roger born prior to his enlistment but cannot find baptisms of my Great Great Grandmother Mary Ann Pitt born we believe between 1825-1826 and brother Charles Pitt born 1826-1827. Any thought of finding any information on the Pitt Family in Tiverton Devon would be appreciated.
