Lookup HARRIS parish record- 1841/1851 census

[reenie]

Hi,

I am hoping some-one can help me as I have come to a brick wall.

I am trying to find William HARRIS  alias William PAULET  born 3-4-1831 at Haverfordwest. Pembrokeshire.  He came to Western Australian on the Ship Pyrennees, leaving from Portsmouth and arriving 1-7-1851.  He was trialed for burglary at Hereford  and sentenced for 10 yrs.  His father was also named William.
Any information or advice on how to find his family in Wales would be greatly appreciated.
