Bowes James, Belfast B: C1814

AntrimBelfast (Antrim)

Hello

I am researching my ancestor James Bowes. James was born approx. 1814 in Belfast. James was tried in Dublin 12.7.1834 for picking pockets. He was sentenced to 7 years gaol and was transported to Australia on the ship Forth 3, where he arrived in Australia 1835. His occupation was a Bricklayer. James became a successful Stonemason/Masonrycontractor in Queanbeyan NSW.

I would appreciate any information available.

Thank you

Hello Elwyn

Thank you for your reply.  James was noted as being Roman Catholic on his marriage certificate.
