Marriage dated 29 JUN 1846, CON52/2 p285, Ref.No for marriage: RGD37/5 : 1846/521
Refer: Tasmanian Archives 'Index to Convict Applications for Permissions to Marry 1829-1857"
People who were convicts in Tasmania were not permitted to marry either each other, or free people, without approval from the Convict Department authorities. This index is "Applications for permission to marry" and it is important to keep in mind that not all applications were approved and therefore the people applying may not have married. The actual applications have not survived and registers (CON45, CON52) have been the source for this index. These registers have a two-line entry for each application. The information listed is: applicant's surname & given name; an extra identifier (if two convicts arrived on the same ship and had the same name); the name of the ship the convict arrived on, or 'free' if the person was not a convict or had become free by the time of the application made by the person who was still a convict; (these four fields are repeated for the other person); the date of the application; the reference number for the application; the reference number (RGD37/...) for the marriage record if this has been included.
Birth date estimated from Nottingham Assizes court records, of 14 March 1828, where he is charged as aged 21 years old
