Hi,

Have you had a look in Trove? There are a few Henry Gault's in there but im not sure which one would be yours if any. Could be worth a look.

In the bicentennial dictionary of W.A (volume 2, D -J), I see in the listing under Robert Gault, it is noted that he was in fact " possibly " Henry Gault.
It does not state why they think this, but assuming that they are correct then his details are as follows.

Gault, Robert, born 1827, died 27th of March 1875 (possibly Henry who arrived 31st of August 1853 per Phebe DUNBAR, expiree), married Elizabeth Jane Cunningham who died on 2 January 1875.
Children: Agnes, Emma Mary 1859, Jane Martha 1864 (Northam), William, Sarah Matilda 1866 died 1875, John Simmons baptised 1873, MaryAnn 1873 (York Wesleyan baptised 1875). Northam-York. Employed three ticket of leave men 1866 to 1872 including a carpenter in 1871.

If you believe this is him then there are also details of the sons, John Simmons Gault and William Gault that I can give you details of.

John.

Do you have his convict records? From my understanding a Conditional Pardon means there were conditons he had to abide by. Maybe finding out what his conditions were might help to find where he was once pardoned and work from there.

I cannot find a marriage between Robert and Elizabeth in WA 
Also cannot find the birth for Agnes in WA.

Im beginning to think that Henry and Robert were 2 different people.

Hi many thanks for everyones help. First of all its Henry Gault that I am looking for.
Robert Gault married Eliza Jane Cunningham in Northern Ireland at Taylorstown Antrim in 1854, I have a copy of their marriage entry and seen the real one in Northern Ireland, they travel by ship in 1862 to Western Australia with four children, only three on the passengers list and in the newspaper anoticing thier arrival as margaret was under 12 months old.
I have alot on robert and Eliza's family but trying to find a henry Gault who is no relation to my line but there are people still mixing them up. I need to find out what happened to Henry Gault to prove to a leading genologist in Perth that she has the facts wrong. This will explain why in some books written by this person wrong information is given.
Many thanks for all your help will keep looking, hope this clears things up. Thanks Dawn
