I have Thomas EAST being convicted at Oxford Assises in Feb/Mar 1824. At first he was sentenced to death but this appears to have been changed to transportation for life. I've found the relevant 19C newspaper cuttings.
I can find him on Ancestry on the Ganymeade hulk with a note that he was transported in July 1825. I can see him being transported to Van Dieman's Land........ However I don't have Worldwide Ancestry membership to see the other records which appear to be for him.
Pretty please is anyone able to help? I'm trying to work out which Thomas East he might be!
