I quote from "David Collins - A Colonial Life" by John Currey
This quotation concerns the middle part of 1804.
Chapter 14 - pages 222 & 223 "Silence and Neglect"

"As far as Collins was concerned the settlers at Risdon were a potential
contaminant of his own community. King agreed to his request that Bowen's
party should be recalled to Sydney, but their departure proved to be
protracted, and while Collins waited for them to pack up and go he did his
best to quarantine them from his own people. Although he officially assumed
command of the Risdon camp on 8 May, he left Bowen in charge until the
latter finally departed for Sydney with most of his original contingent on
9th August.

Six weeks earlier, on 25 June, the "Ocean" had returned from Port Phillip
with William Sladden and the remainder of the Sullivan Bay camp. The ship
experienced a bad crossing during which most of the colony's livestock
(eighteen sheep, seventeen hogs, ten ducks, one male goat and six fowls)
perished. But the late arrivals were soon settled in, and after they had
been absorbed a census of the inhabitants revealed a population of 433: 18
civil officials; 48 marines, 281 convicts; 13 settlers and 73 wives and
children.

In Hobart Town there were employed '2 Clerks, 7 Overseers, 4 Taking care of
Governm't huts, 5 Public Stores and Cooper at do., 21 Boats Crews, 7
Government Gardens, 38 Town Gang, 7 Night Watch, 6 Attending Hospital, 3
Bell-ringer and Barbers, 6 Taylors and Shoemakers, 1 Printer, 4 Thatcher and
Toolhelver, 4 Cook, Baker and Drummers to the R.M. Detachment, 1 Jail gang,
1 Tanner and Glue Maker. Collins himself was the owner of one wether, three
boars, three sows, fourteen pigs, five geese, fifteen ducks eight fowls and
nine turkeys.

By July 1804 the settlement was showing sufficient progress for him
(Collins) to send an account of his proceedings to Joseph Banks."

Sounds like a census to me. Bowen of course went down to Risdon Cove in the
latter part of 1803 with a party of 48 - I have yet to discover who all
those people were, although I have uncovered some.
Regards,
Liz Penprase

Thanks to all who assisted on information re. special license for marriage. It actually opened up a rather intriguing path which I have not noticed before.
