John and Mary Campbell, nee Smith, Convicts in NSW

[Anchor425]

John Campbell was born circa 1774 in Co. Armagh and was transported to NSW in 1801 for his participation as a United Irishman in the rebellion of 1798. He was a labourer and received a conditional pardon in 1803. Ten years later, in Parramatta St. Johns CoE, he married Mary Smith, born in London in 1786 and transported in 1812.  By 1828, John and Mary had two children, Elizabeth aged 7 and Sarah aged 3, and John was the proprietor of Campbell's Farm.  John may have died in the Liverpool District.

Primarily, my interest lies in the descendants of Elizabeth, who became a Turner before marrying Stephen Blanch in 1850, in the Wellington District, NSW, but I would like to know more about John and Mary.

From Findagrave website:
Elizabeth Maria Campbell Blanch
b 1821 d 3 Dec 1899
Buried Coraki Cemetery NSW with husband and chn. Emma d 1928, Thomas d 1931, Edward d 1931 George d 1960.

If you go to Trove.nla.gov.au and put "Blanch" in the search field, and NSW you will find a great deal of information about this family.

Thanks, Shume
I have not had any significant problems in finding info online on the NSW immigrant Blanch family, and I have used Trove extensively.  As I said in my original post, I would like to know more about the convicts John and Mary Campbell, née Smith (born circa 1774 & 1786 respv.), especially beyond the 1828 Muster ("census").  For a start, I would like to know when and where they died.
Kind regards

hi

could you tell me the name of the ships John and Mary Arrived on please

also have you checked the 2 daughters' marriages. If they married under 21yrs they most prob had to obtain permission from a parent and the parents name and permission details would be recorded on the marriage certificate. This was a lead that helped us establish if one of our Convicts was alive when his daughter married and eventually lead us to his death. Just a suggestion.

When they married at Parramatta on 19 July 1813, John was of the the parish of St Phillip, Sydney. Mary was of St John Parramatta. (John signed, Mary "x")

In 1823 Mary lost her Certificate of Freedom out of her pocketbook.

I can see a reference in the Colonial Secretary's Papers to John CAMPBELL who arrived on the Ann (1) at Liverpool, however this is around 1816 in a Notice regarding the previous General Muster. So prior to the 1828 where he is at Botany.
