Hi,

In case this helps, the image for "Australian Convict Transportation Registers – Other Fleets & Ships, 1791-1868" shows,


Vessel: Merchantman
Voyage Date: 29 Jun 1864
Colony: Western Australia
Charles REILEY   
Where convicted:  General Court Martial  Wellington
Date of Conviction:  20th August 1862
Term:  Fourteen


Ancestry has transcribed the place of conviction as Wellington Somerset, but the image doesn't show that.   


Regards,
Daisy



Oops...I see you already know this as I've just seen your other post here,

Maybe a moderator could merge the two threads

Since he has Liberty and the American coat of arms among his tattoos does that not suggest he is American or at least spent some time in the states.  He had an Irish last name and a tattooed suggestion that he was a Catholic.  It might be worth trying the Boston or New York areas. HB

thanks a lot for your help.
yes,confusiing.
record on the merchantman says tried in madras..
then there is this court martial in somerset..
maybe the ship madras was set alight?
hence the arson charge?
will keep hunting..
