No nothing I am afraid.  I get the feeling that they were an interesting family though!
I have been working on them since the 70's!  Still cannot work out where the marriage of Thomas and Elizabeth was - if they married of course.

Thank you for that information, was the third brother that gave evidence against them also transported and if so what was his roll in the theft if any?

No idea but he was deported a few years later for stealing from a shop in Barton!  I have had details from his descendant in Australia.

Ref Smiths of Winterton

I think I have found the sister named Neale at the trial.
Ann Smith m Edward Neale at Winterton 15th Dec 1812.
This seems to be a surname not a christian name.  I have not found her baptism yet which was circa 1790.
