noggin - Thank you for your information. On Sarah GRIFFITHS marriage certificate in VDL on 14th November 1842 it states that she was a convict on the "Navarino" aged 27 years. She married Solomon HILL. Sarah GRIFFITHS (Navarino) applied for permisssion to marry Solomon HILL (Free)on 19th Oct. 1842. Ref: Con. 52/2 P82.
On her Convict records they have got the comments on behavior mixed on the two Sarah Griffiths on the "Navarino". My Sarah Griffiths was Con. no. 239 the other was 242. The last comment on 239 was made on 19th Oct.1843 but mine was dead by then. My Sarah's native place was Llangollen, Wales. She was tried for Larceny and sentenced to 7 years in VDL. She was tried at Chester Azzize Court 1 April 1840 aged 26 years.
