Can anyone help, please?
3xgt grandad was Stephen Colman bp Trunch, Norfolk 19 Oct 1782. Next known event his marriage 2 Sep 1816 in neighbouring village of Southrepps before he settled in Trunch, raised a family & died in 1859.
I’ve just found this:-
31 Dec 1808 – Norfolk Chronicle (Committed to Norwich Castle)
Stephen Colman – charged with stealing a fat turkey & 3 geese (owner of Trunch) & other sundry items (owner of Swafield, nearbyvillage to Trunch)
Ancestry Criminal records (I only have a sub for Ancestry basics)
Trial Jan 1809 (Stphn Colman)
20 May 1809 Norfolk Chronicle - Stephen Colman - In a group of convicts removed from county gaol to Woolwich for 7 yrs transportation
Ancestry - hulks records;
Prudentia – received 16 May 1809 (convicted Norwich 11 Jan1809) Stephen Colman c1783
Retribution – received 12 Aug 1809 (convicted Norwich 11 Jan1809) Stephen Colman c1783
Is there any further record of this Stephen Colman? Was he transported? - if so, did he come back? If not, when was he discharged?
As far as I know, MY Stephen was the only one around in those Norfok villages at that time, but if it was him, he married in Norfolk 7 yrs later, in Sep 1816.
Would be grateful for any help - I can access Ancestry Worldwide at the nearby town library later in the week, but suggestions for WHAT documents to access would be wonderful.
Many thanks
Jay
