As I mention below I've been looking for the fate of my 3x great grandfather for many years until I found your website. I thought you may be interested in some more information for the site. I'm sure I've given you too much here for the site but the extra information may be useful at some time.

Leonard James Dark/Darke was born on 4 Sept 1795 in Sydney.[1] His parents were Leonard Darke/Dark and Elizabeth Jackson, both convicts. Leonard snr was from a family who had for generations been salmon fishermen on the River Severn. Elizabeth was from Limerick.

In 1810 Leonard was apprenticed as a carpenter at the Naval Dockyards in Sydney.

On 21 Aug 1822 he married Elizabeth Thomas in Hobart. [2] The couple had 3 children; his son William Dart, my ancestor, and William's son William George Dart both became master mariners.
Leonard had early marriage issues and was also sentenced to imprisoned for 3 months in 1828, for failing to complete a boat build. I wonder if he may have left because he next appeared returning from New Zealand aboard the Harmony in 1829. In 1830 he was again wanted for not completing a boat build in New South Wales. After that I lost track of him and thought I may never know what happened to him until I found your website. I?ve now also found the reference to his contract with CA Vallance and R D Wallace at the National Library of New Zealand and his death reference via Papers Past.
His wife Elizabeth Thomas also has a link to another person on your site. She is the sister of William Thomas who married Mary Tukuwaha. Her parents William Thomas and Mary Mason are listed. They had 2 sons William and Charles mentioned on your site. They also had 2 daughters, Elizabeth born 8 Jan 1806[3] in Syndey and Jane born 1816 in Sydney[4].
Elizabeth Thomas/Dart started a relationship with Richard Morgan the son of Richard Morgan the subject of Colleen McCullough?s book Morgan?s Run. They eventually married on 23 May 1838. Elizabeth was listed as a widow.[5] LYHO

Patrick Norton was 20 years old when he appeared before the judge at County Galway on a charge of theft. Convicted and sentenced, he was transported to New South Wales in 1810 and never returned to his native Ireland. This detailed and meticulously-researched narrative describes the seven-month voyage of the convict ship Providence from Cove of Cork to Sydney Harbour, the serving out of Norton?s seven-year sentence and his career as a sailor and whaler. He crewed on coastal trading vessels, faced the dangers of the southern ocean on sealing ships and then became a pioneer settler and shore whaler at Te Awaiti in the Marlborough Sounds. A decade before the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, legendary whalers such as Patrick Norton, James Heberley, Jacky Guard, Joseph Thoms, William Keenan, John Love and Jimmy Jackson lived and worked with Maori under the fierce control of Ngati Toa chief Te Rauparaha.
