It would appear that Abraham was Transported not once but twice! The second time was in 1816 at the Devon Azzizes when he was found guilty to ' uttering' a forged Note and having in his possession 84 forged notes; sentence 14 years Transportation.

I do not know anything about Harriet Elias other than she gave birth to a daughter who was baptised in 1814 at St Peter Carmarthen. (1803 was a mistake) Elias is probably her maiden name but the child Jane was given the fathers name of Allen. Jane's father was Anthony .Allen a victualler in the same town.

Looking at the image of the Bap for 13 Sep 1814 Harriet's surname looks to be Alaris or similar but definitely starting with an 'A'

There does not seem to be any felony information before 1844 so I do not know if Harriet was transported to Australia. Her daughter Jane was baptised in 1814 at St Peter Carmarthen. Really that is all I know of Harriet.

I do know quite a lot about Anthony Allen. He was a victualler but I would like to know where he was born.

It was deciphered by a genealogist that I instructed to look into my family history as I live to far away from Wales to research my welsh roots He said that the name of Elias is a very old Carmarthen name.

(just wondered as does look to begin with A, same as Allen, so perhaps a form of Elias, if original viewed then perhaps was clearer!)
