Transportation
George Munday was transported on the Calcutta, departing 31st Jan 1803 and arriving 4th Oct 1803 with 305 passengers.
HMS Calcutta was the East Indiaman Warley (1795), converted to a Royal Navy ship. This ship of the line served for a time as an armed transport. She also transported convicts to Australia. The French Magnanime captured Calcutta in 1805. In 1809, after she ran aground during the Battle of the Basque Roads and her crew had abandoned her, a British boarding party burned her. In 1803 the Calcutta sailed into Port Phillip bay where at least 4 convicts escaped , in Sydney in April 1804 it was reported that 8 had died on the trip. Of the four known escapees one was shot on escape, 2 turned back after 2 days to reattach to the group at the camp in bay before the boat left , one continued on ...into Australia's history books. At least 13 convicts were transferred on to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), Australia.The ship also carried officers, wives and free settlers.

George Munday age given as 24 at conviction in Exeter(Devon) 22 Mar 1802 (Prison Hulk Registers and Letter Books, 1802-1849 HO9/8,f49), indicating a birth year c.1778
George was aged 101 when he died, so born about 1766. I haven't found a birth record yet, but have found a marriage record and children. No more children after 1801, wife waited 7 years to remarry. Would need to have been born about 1766 to be married in 1786.
