Charles Davis was 25 years old when he was transported for stealing a handkerchief. He was on the Waterloo when it was wrecked on the Cape of Good Hope. Many convicts died but Charles survived and arrived per the Cape Packet to VDL.
Charles is described as:5’7.5"tall, fresh complexion, long head, sandy hair, oval face, brown eyebrows, grey eyes, native place: Birmingham, could read and write, protestant and single.
8/8/1848: TOL
31/10/1857: COF
There were many Charles Davis’s who were convicts and it is very difficult to track him after his COF. He may have died at Port Sorell 1871 because his birth date fits the time frame, but it’s only a guess.
