Julia, Anne & Margaret came later, as they were given a free passage.
Joseph was also a convict, he was from Essex, born circa 1810-1811, he was tried in England for poaching and was sentenced to 7 years and sent to NSW. I think he may of had a brother called George who was also charged for the same offence on the same day, and was also sent to NSW.
