Thanks gibbo. 
I know he ended up in Tasmania and I've not looked there yet. Just trying to sort out the two vessels to see if one was to NSW and the other NSW to Tas.
He married and died in NSW.

Don't know yet if Bridget was a convict from Ireland.

This record and the original image show the vessel as North Briton. In 1849 it lists him as 'free' next to the 7 years. Others on the page have CP = Conditional Pardon etc...
Convict #7930
Name: Royal Atkins
Arrival Date: 1842
Vessel: North Briton
Province: Tasmania
Title: Ledger Returns
Year(s): 1849
Place of Conviction: Coventry
7929 Ablitt Charles Ipswich 1842 7 years Free
7932 Appleyard John Pontefract ? 1841 7 years Free
I wonder if all those listed actually arrived on the Triton.
John Appleyard, one of 256 convicts transported on the Triton, 04 August 1842
Charles Ablitt, one of 256 convicts transported on the Triton, 04 August 1842
OK. Solved.
The original document has an error with the wrong name for the vessel for a group of convicts.

Well can we now prove there is only one Royal and one Bridget? If so I'm up to 14. :2fun:
Bridget Flood, one of 170 convicts transported on the Angelina, 25 April 1844
Crime: -
Convicted at: Northumberland. Town of Newcastle Assizes
Sentence term: 7 years
Ship: Angelina
Departure date: 25th April, 1844
Arrival date*: 25th December, 1844
Place of arrival Van Diemen's Land
Passenger manifest Travelled with 170 other convicts
That does not agree with the tree which has her arriving with parents James & Catherine:
Arrival: Ship "Elphinstone"
1840 Sydney, New South Wales
Looks like 2x Bridget FLOOD.

That does not fit. A daughter born at Parramatta in 1796. ???
Sarah 'was assigned to Owen Martin as a convict servant and was listed as appointed to him in “Governor Hunter's Women Convict Assignment Report 1798” a return of convict women in the services of Officers or other households.'
2x Owen:
Owen Martin aged 18 was tried in 1790 at Fermanagh and convicted to 7 years transportation. He was transported aboard the ship 'Queen', a ship of the Third Fleet.
Owen is not listed and the 'Queen' is not listed as one of the Third Fleet:

I'm up to 16 now unless you can prove Owen MARTIN and Sarah WALDEN are not.
Can't find their marriage 1794-1796 or birth reg for daughter Rosetta (Rose) MARTIN in 1796.
V18111224 3A/1811 MEURANT FERDINAND - MARTIN ROSE CB= CofE St John's Parramatta
Death 5903/1879 MEURANT ROSETTA - OWEN - SARAH - HARTLEY
Note: Headstone transcript: 'Rosetta Meurant, Relict of the late F. Murant (sic) of Seven Hills, who died January 12th 1879 aged 84 years'. (Transcript no 82, Lithgow Historical Society.)
Meurant Rosetta 12 Jan 1879 84y w/Ferdinand; mother Hartley Vale
So for Rosetta we have age at death but no birth reg and name MARTIN when she married and parents as Owen & Sarah on death reg.
So someone has worked out it has to be Sarah WALDEN who married the first of the two Irish convict Owen MARTINs to arrive.
Can we prove it? There must be others named Sarah in Sydney in 1790s.
The marriage is no help:
St John's Parramatta No 355
Ferdinand Meurant otp Hawkesbury
Rose Martin otp Hawkesbury
Married in Church by Banns
27 May 1811 By me Samuel Marsden
Witnesses: John ? (his x mark) , Catherine (her x mark) Martin
I can see several possible problems:
A tree has his name as John Owen MARTIN with a death in 1854 not 1821 - HERE
It seems Sarah died and John/Owen remarried Catherine who is one of the witnesses. But the tree also shows Sarah's death in 1855 which is after his. ???
I'll have to look at the film again to see if I can work out the surname of John ... the other witness.

We know there are 3x Owen MARTIN - 2 Irish convicts and one born in NSW in 1801 but only two death reg in NSW:
V1846490 146/1846 MARTIN OWEN AGE 47
V18542254 119/1854 MARTIN OWEN AGE 80
And the one who died in 1854 fits the age 18 at trial in Dublin yet the tree says he died in 1821 and is buried at St John's Parramatta.
V1846490 146/1846 MARTIN OWEN AGE 47
V18542254 119/1854 MARTIN OWEN AGE 80
