**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.
