Thanks for the information on the Library - unfortunately I'm in Sydney, so a visit isn't possible!

Many thanks for the reply Carolyn, sorry to be so long responding - I've been away plus had a funeral to attend, so only getting a chance to get back to this now. This information confirms one of the sources I previously had and rule out both a second source and family legend about why he was sent to Australia.

The pastfinders site makes reference to a local newspaper report from July 1834 - does anyone know if these would be accessible online? I'd be interested in seeing what they said.

Reagrds,

Tony

Kent Lookup Requests / Kent Assizes Lookup 1834 - DAMMERY
« on: Wednesday 07 May 08 13:28 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the court records of my ancestor Andrew DAMMERY. The information I have obtained indicates he was tried at the Kent Assizes in July 1834 and sentenced to 14 years. He arrived in Australia on 6 April 1835. I think he was 18 when convicted.

His transportation records list him as DUMMERY and there are records here in Australia that list him as DAMERY. His kids became DEMMERY, so pretty much anything goes!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Tony (in Sydney)
