William is my great great grandfather. I would love to contact any other relatives
Native of St Pauls, Bristol, at the time of his arrest. I am his great, great grandson.
The crime for which he was transported was larceny of a quantity of lead from a roof of a gig room/stables. The value of the property was 20 shillings. The conviction was confirmed in July 1819 and he was held on a prison hulk until departure aboard the 'Mangles'
I am his great, great grandson. I have sighted the court records at Gloucester on 6 May 2013. The court register is recorded in the name of William Cook with an alias of Thomas Cook (Cooke). He was transported from Sydney to Newcastle and resided at Morpeth following his completion of sentence. One of his sons was George Cook (my great grandfather) whose son was also George (my grandfather).
