this book by Michelle Vale traces the history of John Warby who arrived in Sydney on the “Pitt”. Unfortunately this book is now out of print. Does anyone have a copy they no longer need? If so, please let me know.  I understand the author’s sources were “The Convict Ships 1787-1868” by Charles Bateson (which my brother has ordered) and “The History of New South Wales from the Records Vol 2” by Alexander Britton.

My kinsman James Pillinger, a Bristolian, born about 1770 and sentenced to transportation aged 16, was also a “passenger” on the “Pitt” and I would like to fill in the background detail of the voyage.
