Sainty & Johnson; 1828 Census of New South Wales: [Ref W1467] Wybrow, William, 51, CP, Ganges, 1797, Life, Plasterer of Cambridge St, Sydney. [Ref W1468] Wybrow, James 14, BC. [Ref W1469] Wybrow, David 12, BC.
My records show William married Elizabeth Clarke (Convict, Speke, 1808). This was the same Elizabeth noted as Crookshank in the registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. viz V1809869 3A/1809 at St Philip's. It would appear that Elizabeth moved on to another relationship in 1821, so the couple are not recorded together in the 1828 census.
William was convicted at the Old Bailey on 16 Sep 1795 aged 21 and sentenced to death, which was commuted to transportation for life. 16 Sep 1795 Old Bailey: WILLIAM WYBROW, JOHN SKIVINGTON, SUSANNA LEE, and ELIZABETH PHILLIPS, were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of John White, about the hour of nine in the night, on the 1st of April, and burglariously stealing therein, two silver table spoons, value £1. a silver punch ladle, value 10s. two silver tea spoons, value 3s. two pair of silver sugar tongs, value 10s. two silver salt holders, value 10s. three silk gowns, value £3. a silk petticoat, value 5s. a satin petticoat, value £2. four printed cotton gowns, value £3. a printed cotton petticoat, value 5s. two silk cloaks, value £1. a yard of satin ribbon, value 2d. a bank note, No. 579, value £300. another bank note, No. 5053, value £30. the goods and property of the said John White.
