William Buckley convict sent to Australia

[buckleys chance]

Hello.  I am researching William Buckley who was a convict sent to Australia.  I believe that his mother's name was Elizabeth Buckley (father unknown) Baptized 31st March 1872 in Siddington Cheshire (All Saints Church). Elizabeths parents were, i believe, Jonathon and Martha. Is there anyone in the group that can provide any further information about this side of the Buckley family.  Thank you.  Elaine

Hi there and welcome to Rootschat.

By 1872, convict transportation was no longer happening.
Can you clarify - when was William sent to Australia? What records do you have for him in England and Australia?

Perhaps you mean 1782? I can see the baptism of William BUCKLEY at Siddington on 31 March 1782, mother Elizabeth ("Eliz." on the image).

I can't make out what comes after "March 31 Willm Son of Eliza Buckley Siddington ..." 

There are at least 16 William BUCKLEYs who came to Australia as convicts (on https://convictrecords.com.au). Just wondering how you know you have the correct baptism?

When and where did your William Buckley arrive in Australia as a convict ? ?

Please can you supply more info, what info do you already have on your William Buckley, and how can you be sure the one born 1782 is yours?

Hi Elaine, just seen your post on Facebook regarding William Buckley the convict. He was an ancestor of mine, this as been confirmed not only by a researcher but the author who wrote about William and a member of my family as all the paperwork. William was illegitimate and brought the up by his grandparents, he was sent to van diemens land after stealing a bolt of cloth . My maiden name was Buckley and my late dad and all his side lived in Cheshire. Every 1st daughter in my family were call Elizabeth hence my name.
