Andrew Clarke married Margaret Hutton(Bruce) on 16 September 1816 in St . Matthews Curch Windsor NSW. The wedding was officiated by the Reverend Samuel Marsden; Source - Australia, Marriage 1788-1950 Andrew Clarke received an Unconditional Pardon 12 March 1814. This was signed by His Excellency Lachlan Macquarie. It was a 'Special Certificate' issued 14yrs after his arrival. He had already served his 7years, but had been confused with another convict who was serving life.
This information is taken from my Uncle Malcolm Levett's family history search, of which he researched in 1986; .... "Andrew Clarke, born about 1767, was convicted at the Assizes for County of Fermanagh, Ireland, on 15th July 1799; for stealing 15 yards of twilled linen valued at 9 shillings (90c). He was sentenced to transportation for the term of seven years. He was transported aboard the ship "Anne", from the Harbour of Waterford in 1800 (arrived 1801) together with many being transported for life for their part in the 1798 Irish Rebellion, causing his conviction to be erroneously interpreted as "life". Andrew was eventually freed on 12th march 1814, following a lengthy investigation and the issue of a Special Certificate signed by Governor Lachlan Macqurie."
Married Margaret Bruce/Hutton in 1816 - also a convict, she arrived in 1816
