Richard Franklin b1814
« on: Sunday 24 June 12 11:32 BST (UK) »
I can find no trace of the above after his birth in rural Essex. I have found a man of this age and name, sentenced to 7 years transportation by a court in Oxfordshire on 27 June 1836. Can someone check to find his place of birth?
Another member of my family was transported  to VDL for 14 yrs in the same year. This was verified by helpful members of this board, so I am hoping someone can help.

I should just also mention that Caversham is just north of Reading and is now in Berkshire, not Oxfordshire. It was transferred in 1911 from Northamptonshire.

Richard FRANKLIN's indent states that he was aged 23, a native of Deal, and married with one child.

He had a tattoo - RF BORN AUT. (sic) 12, 1813
