Hi Graham -

Was he also the 'Thomas D Young' shown on records?

I suggest you try the 'WA State Library' (on-line) -it has an 'Ask a Librarian' service -they will check their many records -including those of the (close-by) 'State Records Office'.

Cherilyn Report 21 Apr 2015 09:44

See http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/con-wa7.html

He was a 26 year old clerk, single, 5 foot 4 and 3/4, brown hair and hazel eyes, oval face, fresh complexion and stout build. No scars or tattoos.

Perhaps he didn't stay in WA? No marriage or death that is a good match for him.

Thomas came up no problem, but there is no sign of William Muzzall, he's a real mystery? Maybe he died before leaving?

Hm that makes the 1896 death in NSW with the correct parents names look promising!

Might be worth taking a punt and getting a transcription?

NSW has excellent transcription services. A full transcript from Joy Murrin is A$20.

Graham, if Thomas' parents were Thomas and Mary then why did you state earlier:-

"...............there is a Thomas George young d.1896 Parramatta with the right parents names Thomas and Sarah reg.no.3587,but who knows?"

So this isn't his baptism?

Also bear in mind that death certs are not a reliable source of info...only as good as the informant's knowledge.
