There are two other members who have Thomas Young born Sussex in their trees.

Just search for birth year 1827, +/- 5 years.

thanks Lynski,yes I know,we are all trying to find him after his release from his sentance in 1856 regards graham chambers n.z.

Oh is my reply invisable?

Do you know if he was married to an Elizabeth DAVIDSON? I can't find a marriage in WA; it is possible they never formally wed.

But there are births to a Thomas YOUNG & Elizabeth DAVIDSON in Fremantle/Rottnest 1857-1863 which fits with him being a convict.
