On 26th October 1838 he was
sentenced to ten years transportation for stealing a watch and was transported
to Van Diemans Land, Tasmania on the Coromandel III. The ship sailed from
Sheerness, London on 27th June 1838 and arrived at Port Arthur, Van Diemans
Land, Tasmania on 26th October 1838. A total of 121 Days travel. It was
captained by William Loader. Gaol report character.
lc. very bad in prison before. Hulk report very bad. ??? stated this offence stealing a watch with keys and purse. Once for a watch ??? single.

RWP Approved L.G.Decis 8.11.42. ?/44 3 class 7/1/45 Cert 1 1/7/48 Note: Launceston Prison was one of the most severe and much hated. So he definitely lived in Tasmania long enough to get his Certificate of Freedom. Jeremiah probably left the colony after he got his certificate of freedom on 11th July 1848 - the fact that he even bothered to apply for it probably
meant that he had leaving the colony in mind. He cannot be found on the 1851 census for GLS, which is where you would have thought he would have gone if
he had returned to the UK. He was still only a young man; it is possible he took up one of the offers of cheap transport and free land that existed in
other colonies like Canada or New Zealand, or he may have been attracted to the USA by the gold rushes. Or he may have been attracted to the gold fields
of nearby Victoria, and been one of the thousands of miners who died there without a trace. Register of Prisoners 1833-1838, Gloucester Record Office. June 15th 1837, No. 128, Jeremiah Scrivens aged 20, of Lassington, Charged on the oath of Harriet (sister), the wife of George Neale with feloniously
stealing on the ninth day of June at Lassington a silver watch the property of the said George Neale. Description - Dark Brown hair, grey eyes, roman nose, ruddy complexion, small mouth, long visage, large scar on right wrist, right ? toe dislocated.
Spotted on the body from a child. 5'9 3/4" tall.

Excerpts from the Surgeons Log of the Coromandel 12th June - 1st November 1838 kept by Mr. J.Tweedale during the Voyage from Woolwich to Hobart Town,
Van Dieman's Land. June 15th 120 convicts from the Justitia, Woolwich (these tended to be adolescents). June 16th 100 convicts from the Ganymede, Woolwich.

Total - 350 convicts, Guards(?) 33 (21st Regiment of Fusiliers), Crew 51, Women and Children 18. July 6th 1838 Francis Jones aged 18 Private , 21st Fusiliers died. September 26th 1838 Thomas Hughes aged 22 Convict died . (These were the only two fatalities, although there were numerous instances of ulcers, fevers, diahorrea and constipation recorded. This was largely due
to the fact that, unusually, the 121 day voyage was made without the normal stops at Rio and Cape Town for fresh supplies of vegetables, meat and water. N.B. Jeremiah Scrivens did not appear at the surgeons door once during the voyage) |
