"Lesley Parker of Chichester has been very kind and thorough in her search for this family and we are thankful to her. In 1993 Lesley wrote regarding a John Redman who became a convict - transported to N.S.W. for 14yrs. Could he belong to this family. John was sentenced East Grinstead 27.3.1787. He possibly spent time before sailing, in an old wooden prison hulks that lay rotting in River Thames and around the harbours of Britain and Ireland. John Redman sailed on 'Surprise' the first voyage with Master Nicholas. They boarded vessel 29.11.1789 sailing from Portsmouth in December 1789 arriving Sydney 28.6.1790. A.O.4/3998. 4/4003. MFR.392. This is yet to be confirmed as family.

John Redman d.26.11.1837 leaving will in Supreme Court N.S.W. P.No.855. Series 1. There is another entry for John Redman who d.26.11.1837 Pittwater,Sydney, who also left will P.No.16756. Series 3. I am afraid I don't understand how this could be - maybe two wills, one obsolete. The researcher must be aware that some names are Redman, while some may well be Redmond, as name was written just as it sounded across counter to registrar, of another coutry, at the time.
