We are not related in any way. I am simply a local historian and contributor to the Epsom and Ewell History Explorer for example at <https://eehe.org.uk/?p=76162>.
If one accepts that John Chivington's parents are as enumerated in Ewell for 1841 (but I have not traced their marriage reported to have taken place in 1813) then your kinfolk there are as noted below.

It seems that convict John was co-accused at Surrey Quarter Sessions 18/10/1836 with James Herring (1817 - 1874), also transported on Mangles in 1837, Both were charged with stealing fowls and may have been driven by hunger.
