I'm trying to find out more about my Great Great grandparents ROBERT JOHNSON and JESSIE(JANET) STEWART.

They were both transportered to Tasmania as Convicts and married there and had 5 children including my Grandmother AMELIA JOHNSON in 1851.

This is what I have established thus far:

ROBERT JOHNSON(Caledonia 2) T.L married JESSIE STEWART convict (Hydery) on the 22nd February 1936.

They applied for or were granted permission to marry on 20 Jan 1836

ROBERT JOHNSON: convicted 23 march 1822 at Lancaster and departered from Portsmouth 19 June 1822 arrived VDL on 6 November 1822

There are no Jessie Stewarts recorded on the Hydery however there is a JANET STEWART and this is also the name given on the intension to marry record but not the marriage record. I believe that the names Janet and Jessie were often substututed for each other at the time.

JANET STEWART: The HYDERY set sail from Plymouth on eiter the 2nd or 11th April 1832 and arrived VDL on 10th August 1832.

Here is my main problem:

There are TWO JANET STEWARTS listed on the manifesto.

One was convicted in Perth the other in Glasgow and I have no idea which one she was as her marriage certificate gave no clue to her origin.

It appears that the other Janet Stewart also arrived safely in Tasmania and also married in 1836 but to a Richard Groves.

I would really like to know which Janet is mine so I know which one I should be clamming as my own, although I must say the coincedences with the Janets makes me interested in both of them and wonder if they may have developed a freindship of any type.

I would appreciate any help which could solve this puzzle as well as any information on any of the above mentioned people

Thankyou

Mabel
