Maybe I'm missing something but although I can see the Hampshire record, I can't find him actually being transported.
Also, I wonder if October 1842 is a bit late if he had already 'absconded' by March 1841.

I think I should add the reason for Ellen and family being in the workhouse was given as 'husband absconded'.

For many years I have been trying to find out what happened to my Gt Gt Grandfather ABRAHAM ALLEN born 1808 Belper Derbyshire. In the 1841 census his wife ELLEN ALLEN, and children are on their own in Belper. in 1841 and1842 they are in the workhouse, in 1842 they leave the workhouse and go to France.

In 1844 my Gt grandfather SETH ALLEN is supposedly (according to censuses born British subject France) born in France but no proof of this. Seth gives Abraham as his father on his marriage certificate. Seth is, according to census in the R Marines as a tailor, he lives in RM housing in Forton Gosport Hampshire. But can find no actual proof of him being in the RM.

In 1845 Ellen and children return from France (Evidence taken from the Strutt school register when THOMAS ALLEN one of her children returns there.

I am no longer a member of Ancestry but just received an invitation to look at the Australian Convict records. One of the Hampshire records (October 1842) shows that an ABRAHAM ALLEN born 1811 is convicted of Grand Larceny and given 10 years.


I may be grasping at straws here but can anyone give any suggestion as to how I can follow up whether or not this was 'my' ABRAHAM ALLEN.


Any help appreciated. :-)
