On 9 December 1789 William was tried and convicted, at the Old Bailey, London's Central Criminal Court, of stealing 6 pairs of shoes. He was sentenced to 7 years transportation to NSW, Australia.
He departed London on the "Active" - one of the 11 ships that made up the Third Fleet, on 24th January, 1791 - aged 18. The "Active" arrived at Port Jackson in September, 1791.
