Convict Notes
Henry was born in Aldermaston Berkshire the son of William Brinn and Anne Cheesman. His father was a Labourer as was his grandfather Benjamin Brinn. Most of Henry's convict records are spelt Bren however, one Convict Muster confirms his surname as Brinn and his native place Aldermaston. Henry married in January 1833 a Scottish Convict girl Margaret Harley and had one son William born in 1834 in Tasmania. Henry died 10 Feb 1838 in Richmond Tasmania. He received his Ticket of Leave 16 May 1829 and Conditional pardon one month after his marriage in 1833. He had sufficient property to justify the administration of his estate at the time of his death.
