Trying to locate any information about William who was tried in Dublin for stealing a horses haulter. He was a groom and porter and tried and convicted and given 7 years in Australia. When he completed his sentence he stayed, married and settled into life in the colonies.
I am interested to see if there is a newpaper report of the trial and if there is any information about his family and who his parents were.
