Recording the name of the ship (Sir Godfrey Webster) on which aconvict was transported was normal practice. It served to keepofficial record of their Thomas was still a convict for another twoyears although he would have been on `ticket of leave' for severalyears already. He was living in Launceston, probably in Bathurst St.,and working as a shoemaker, or `cordwainer', as he was called in amortgage document the previous year. Besides his place in town he hada property on the South Esk, within the Morven district. The nameYates(2) which appears on the South Esk land deeds is probably relatedto the one who witnessed their marriage. Those 50 acres together withThomas Brennan's having land on the South Esk, and his convictassignment at Morven suggests an association with the area whichprovided plenty of opportunity for him to have known Mary for someyears before they married.
