Convict's crime - John WEBB

[woodharthodges]

Hi all,

I am very interested in this discussion. I am studying the voyage of the Guildford4 1820 and all the convicts on it.
I have found some information but this has given me more.

Bob could you email me if you wish as I'd love to give you any information you require about the journey and find out more specifically about John Webb in particular.

By the way Bob,

The Convict Indents of Guildford 4 also state John's term as 14 years.

Hi Kieran,

I have not posted on this site for some time and have forgotten how to reply offline.  However I know it is possible and if a moderator sees this and kindly gives advice how, or you already know, or take the time to read the instructions on Rootschat, you can send me any newsworthy info of the Guildford's voyage if you wish and I will ensure John Webb's direct decendant gets it.   Sorry but I have had a recent experience with a scam on a similar chat site and have been advised not to respond to emails my computer's software  flags an alert on.  This in no way suggests yours if suss, but like many other things in life, we all get affected by the unscrupulous few  .

Many thanks, Aussie Bob.

I am not a scammer but understand your reluctance to access my email, so no offence taken.

My g g grandfather was a convict on the Guildford 1820 (Edward Woodhart), but also on the ship were the five respited Cato Street Conspirators (Richard Bradburn, James Wilson, Charles Cooper, John Shaw Strange and John Harrison) (convicted of High Treason for trying to overthrow the Governent in London on 23 feb 1820).

I have become more and more interested with the journey and the convicts on the ship, so much so that I am now writing a manuscript on it.

I'm just trying to learn about convicts on the ship so I can give a 'human' perspective.

The info on your chat has given me more insight into the Oxfordshire convicts so thanks for that.

Dear Bob

I am very interested in your posts about John Webb born Aston Rowant. My mother's family are related to the Webbs of Aston Rowant and can trace the tree back to a marriage there in 1621 between Humphrey Webb and Mary Burnham. I would love to hear more about what happened to John after he went to Australia. If we can add any details to your relative's tree pre John's birth, we would be happy to help.

Hello Kate,
All I know about John Webb pre-trial is that his parents were William Webb (no detail) and Elizabeth Herridge born 1776 in Kingston, Oxfordshire, Eng.   I would be happy to hear more about his past.  I do however have a large amount of info on his life in Tasmania.  I published a book in 2009 on 4 branches of my family, but have found a lot more about John Webb since then.
If you send me a personal message giving me your email address, or when you have made a couple of more posts on Rootschat I can send you a personal message.    John Webb's son John Webb married my GGG Grandmother's daughter, and another son, James Webb had 11 children to her sister.  James disappeared in unusual circumstances and was declared dead without any knowledge of the whereabouts of his body.     I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Aussie Bob
