Yes but the ditto mark could also apply to the blank line above. For the other fellow who was let off as well. Maybe they were encouraged to make their own way . George Mawbey worked as a clerk for a large Sydney bookseller c.1843. He then became a school teacher. The bookseller tag fits the type of person he was.

Thank you everbody. Im slow on uptake cause having cancer treatment. I have another lead. Find My Past has GEORGE MABEY b.c. 1809 age 22 bookseller in Newgate calendar 1833 for stealing 10 books. No verdict or sentence. No trial at Old Bailey. Could this be GEORGE MAWBEY? If convicted he would have ended up in Australia. He first appears in Sydney as an actor in 1833.

How can I access baptismal records of St George the Martyr, London, held by Guildhall Library? Joseph Mawbey bap 28-4-1822, MS3327, and any other Mawbey baptisms between then and 1800? My former user name was pmawbey from Sydney, Australia.

Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: George MAWBEY

Dawn,
There are many people with Aspergers Syndrome throughout the world, and I believe our differences in thinking and communication need to be acknowledged by RootsChat and its convenors.
People with AS naturally have to right to look for their ancestors , and not to be dismissed, albeit rudely, by people regularly dealing with the public who do not know about this relatively common condition.
I am upset about what has happened recently on RootsChat, and currently feel like not having anything further to do with this genealogy site.
Might I suggest that you and Valda view some websites that explain what Aspergers Syndrome is, in order to be able to recognise people with this disability when they attempt to use your site.

I appear to be annoying you.
Please make allowances for the fact I have Aspergers Syndrome and do not discriminate against me on this basis.

Surrey Lookup Requests / GEO MABEY = GEORGE MAWBEY?
« on: Tuesday 01 May 12 10:00 BST (UK) »
There is an Australian convict record on Ancestry for a Geo Mabey transported on the ship Henry.
The Henry made two trips transporting convicts from England, one to Port Jackson (Sydney) 1823 with male convicts and another to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) 1824 with female convicts.
George Mawbey's death certificate gives the impression he came in 1832 when he was 23.
So if he came in 1823 he was only 14.
The handwritten record on Ancestry.com.au is very difficult to read (see attached).
Could somebody please help me out with deciphering this record, particularly the place where he came from (first column, right-hand page)?
His occupation is 'indoor and outdoor servant' and I think the last column says he is from Surrey.
He is 5 ft 7 in tall with brown hair and sallow complexion.
The person who found this for me says he was tried at Surrey Quarter Sessions.
Are these records available online?
If this is George Mawbey, he may have changed the spelling of his name to hide his convict past, and to make himself sound as if he came from an important knighted English family.
Fingers crossed ...

George Mawbey b.1809 England and his father Joseph were both 'dealers'.
They were not agricultural workers or tradesmen.
This suggests they lived in a large town or city like London.
In Australia George worked predominantly as a clerk, doing the accounts for privately owned businesses.
His first appearance in historical newspapers is as an actor in the first professional theatre in Sydney.
Then as a witness at court on behalf of a former employer, a wealthy ironmonger, for whom he had worked as a clerk.
George then appears to have gone out on his own as a 'tinman' before acquiring a licence for a pub.
He then went to the newly established province of South Australia, and set up Refreshment Rooms in the commercial heart of Adelaide.
On his return to Sydney, he worked as a clerk for a large bookstore in Sydney.
The family then moved to the rural outskirts of Sydney, to an orchard area at Dural near Parramatta, where he was the schoolmaster at a CE diocesan school.
When he died in Sydney in 1852 he was a dealer.
