| Misc | I think that John Thomas Snelson was convicted at the Cheshire Quarter Sessions on 30 November 1840 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to Van Diemans Land. I am wondering whether he changed his name from Thomas John Snelson to John Thomas Snelson, because he was transported on the "Layton" and descibed as : Trade – Joiner and House Carpenter, Height – 5’ 9â€, Age – 29. Complexion – Fresh, Head – Large, Hair – Dk Bro, Whiskers – None, Visage – Long, Forehd -Moderate high, Eyebrows – Blk, Eyes - Hazel, Nose – Large, Mouth – Large, Chin – Large , Native Place - Eccleston. on 30 November 1840.3 |
| Occupation | He was a joiner, according to the transportation records in 1841. |
| Transporta | He; 1 September 1841; the ship "Layton" for 14 years, Hobart; The Captain was D.W. Stephens; the ship was of 490 tons, and she left London on the 9th of April with 250 prisoners. The journey took them via Tenerife, Cape of Good Hope and on to Hobart Town, arriving on the 1st of September 1841, landing with 244 other convicts. The surgeon's journals for this voyage exist and can be found on AJCP Reel 3200. It looks like he was 29 years old, and a joiner/house carpenter when he arrived. After a rough period in which he was severely beaten and received a whipping, he was eventually granted a Ticket of Leave and then a Certificate of Freedom on 15th February 1856.
