JM they didn't land the Neptune convicts at the Cape.  The locals threw a wobbly and the ship was sent on to Tasmania.

Oops, I didn't realise that,  Debra  ;D

Cheers,  JM

Well thats exactly right.   The whole business of transportation had become very confusing around that time.   There were also some from Canada who were not criminals but politcal dissidents.

Thank you all so much for your very helpful replies! It is still a mystery to me where he ended up. I can find no record of him anywhere in the world! I think that the most likely scenario is that he died either before he was transported or during the voyage out to Australia. Unfortunately the Irish records don't start this early so I will never know...........

If anyone does ever find a trace of him, please do let me know!

He went to Spike Island and I assume he died there. I cannot upload an image but if you PM me I can email details to you, He is buried in Pollardstown cemetery outside Newbridge Co. Kildare. Just wondering where you got the Prison record "Clexton"?

Hi Curtis Cluxton, you have to have made 3 posts before the PM system is available to you so if you just post a response to this then you should be able to PM.

Hi Curtis Cluxton,
Yes, Bailey Cluxton never made it to Australia. He was transferred from Spike Island to Naas Gaol where he died of tuberculosis.
I have a great deal of information about this family on my website.
