Research Notes

Thomas Brown was a convict after the Third Fleet transported to New South Wales

According to Find a Grave, transported to New South Wales, arriving 1835. There were two men named 'Thomas Brown' convicts in 1835. One was convicted in Devon so probably not related. The other was convicted in Kent so perhaps more probable:

• Convict Name: Thomas Brown

Trial Place: Kent Quarter Session

Trial Date: 6 January 1835

Sentence: 7 years

Arrival Details

Ship: Aurora I (2)

Arrival Year: 1835

The National Archives (TNA) : HO 11/10, p.92

FamilySearch suggests baptism (and presumably birth as well) in London but Find a Grave's suggestion of parents' names appears more probable and do not match FamilySearch source:
