Born 1810 & Baptised 1811 Edmonton Middlesex (Father James Taylor & Mother Martha Darby(a widow when she married James Taylor).Benjamin Taylor is a half brother to Joseph Darby (who was also transported to NSW Australia on the Portland convict ship arriving Australia 1832, the same time when Benjamin Taylor arrived).Benjamin & Joseph were both on the Leviathon convict hulk ship together, as well as William Lewis the brother-in-law of Joseph who was also on the Portland with Joseph).Benjamin was charged with stealing poultry in June 1831 & sentenced to 7 years.He managed to complete his sentence & did obtain his certificate of freedom on the 9th January 1840.I believe he died in Victoria in SE Australia in 1867 as the death certificate names his father as James & his mother as Martha.
