Lesley the old bailey trials on on the web.There may be info. here.
I think that 06 Jun 1830 left Spithead Eng and 22 Sep 1830 Mellish at TAS.
4034 is the TAS.ident Number?
The Muster from the ship that delivered her to TAS. will have more
information(ie age, not necessary Parents).

Hi Ralph,

Hmmm, well ... I am not quite sure how to reply to your input :-\

True that there are a great many variant spellings of the name - while
looking for Sarah in FREEBMD, I came across Sarah BECKLY, when I used
the Phonetic option.

(Others I have encountered, in the course of my research, include BARELY
and BEASTLY).

But, I am not asking whether BEESLEY and BEAZELEY might be the same ...
I just take it for granted that they are :-)) Question is really whether
Sarah BEAZELEY's Indent gives any more information about her parents, or
where she was born.

(Something that might give me a clue about *which* Sarah
BEAZELEY/BEESLEY was transported to Tasmania on the Mellish).

Cheers,


Lesley
