Have you ever come across a Thomas Pymble born about 1807 in Herefordshire? I have the records for a Thomas who was court-martialled in Gilbraltar in 1831 and transported to NSW in the 'Asia' in 1832, aged 25, for fourteen years. He was granted a ticket-of-leave to work in the district of Goulburn NSW in 1843 and then seems to vanish.

Still a mystery is what happened to the convict Thomas born Hereford about 1807, served in the military in Gibraltar and court-martialled 1830/1831, transported to NSW 1832, mentioned in Govt Gazette as a runaway 1836, Ticket-of-Leave 1843 - vanished!
