The 1841census

The woman is Sarah Skeldon and she is in a different household?

There is a Josiah Cocken born 1933 in Halesowen, to mother Mary - right sort of area, so a possibility? No father named though.

I am trying to find info about my gtgtgt grandfather Thomas Cockin b. 1806 at Curdworth, Warwickshire. In 1841 census he lived in Rowley Regis, Tipton, Stafford with 2 children and a Mrs Skeldon age 75. In 1849 he was found guilty at Stafford Assizes for stealing a carcass of lamb and deported for 7 years. He told the court he was widowed and had [he said] 3 children, can only find 2. Where he was from 1849 to 1853 awaiting deportation I do not know, as here again I cannot find him. I understand he obtained his Certificate of Freedom in 1863 and after that I can find nothing. Understand convicts were not allowed to return to their home country but have a feeling he did get back as I found a Thomas Cockin that fitted his age etc, in a workhouse in Burton on Trent, but cannot be sure it is my Thomas.

Consequently I would like to confirm what happened to Thomas that was deported, and also I cannot find his marriage but have since found out his children's mother's name was Mary.

Is anyone else researching this family and can anyone suggest how I can find out more about Thomas Cockin b. 1806 who was deported to Australia in 1853.
