I'm Looking for relatives of Harry/Henry Ewart a native of Annan, Dumfries, Scotland, born to Thomas and Isabella Ewart. He was tried at the Cork Barracks on 8 Dec 1841 for desertion from his unit, the 25th Regiment. He was then convicted and sentenced to 7 years transportation to Van Diemens Land, arriving on the "Isabella Watson" on 5 Aug 1842.
There is some difficulty with establishing the family of Henry as it appears he married two women, one in October 1852 and another in November 1852! One of his sons Robert Ewart was a noted prospecter in Western Tasmania.
I believe Harry died on 15th Jan 1887 in Longford, Tas.
