**Two Robert Smith's on this voyage** The other Robert Smith was tried at the Old Bailey..and died 6/2/1830. Logic would suggest that from the birth dates that it was Robert Smith from Bilsden that died as the birth dates match - however, he was still alive in 1833 according to his conduct record. Robert Smith was listed as 40 years old on arrival in VDL - he was born in Bilsden and was transported for 'Stealing from a dwelling house'. Occupation: Button maker/Soldier. Robert was 5'7½" tall, grey hair and eyes,, RL on left arm, scar cross bridge of nose, scar on cheek. 1826: Was a Constable 2/10/1828: Public Works 29/5/1832: TOL - drunk and fined. 2/2/1833: Drunk and fined.
