Convict Notes
Andrew (aka Adam) s/o Adam Millar & Sarah Murdock (m. 22 Jul 1821 High Ch, Paisley) was a convict transported to Tasmania. In 1843 Andrew MILLAR (alias ADAM) was tried with 4 others including John & Archibald McNAUGHT, at the High Court, Edinburgh for the crime of 'reset of theft' (handling of stolen goods?) at 2 addresses in Paisley. Andrew Millar confessed & was sentenced to 7 years transportation. John & Archibald McNaught to 14 years. All 3 were weavers. He was transported to Van Diemens Land on 3 Aug 1845 on the Stratheden. His convict details on Tasmanian Archives show that he was single, a woolen weaver, aged 20, & could read and write. He was 5' 4 1/2" with lt brown hair, blue eyes & freckles. Birthplace Paisley. Entry says he was transported for theft by housebreaking of jewellery, plate and watches to valued at £200. This doesn't quite accord with the conviction of "reset of theft". Given Conditional Pardon on 30 Nov 1847 but there is a line across that part of the page with the words "Again convicted vide [see] Miscellaneous Book 4 No 1148". This may refer to the case of the Andrew Millar who was arrested in 1848 along with John and Archibald McNaught. The Tasmanian Archives should be able to answer that one. Last record found for him was the 1848 muster roll in Tasmania. Not traced after that.
