Convict Notes
The convict Charles Hayward who did marry Rebecca Burrows,nee Bailey in 1837, arrived in Australia on the convict ship Sesostris 21/3/1826, not the Captain Cook.
The convict notes are incorrect regarding marriage to Rebecca Bailey. Very difficult to get married in Sydney when you are on a convict ship that didn't arrive until August 1833.
