The State Library of Queensland's database compiled from the British Home Office HO 11 transportation registers (Australian Joint Copying Project microfilm), published free at convictrecords.com.au. The register columns — crime, court, sentence, ship, sailing and arrival dates — come from HO 11; the birth and death dates and the occupation shown on a convict's page are contributor-supplied and are secondary at best.

For “Immigrated” 11 MAR 1833 of Benjamin Saville

Name: Benjamin Saville | Gender: Male | Born: 17th Nov 1814 | Death: 30th Jan 1896 | Age at death: 81 | Occupation: Gardener/Nurseryman | Crime: Burglary (house breaking) | Convicted at: Essex Assizes | Sentence term: Life | Departed: 13th Nov 1832 | Ship: Andromeda | Arrival: 11th Mar 1833 | Place of Arrival: New South Wales

The page's Personal Information / Crime / Voyage panels, quoted label-and-value in page order. Only the crime, court, sentence, ship and voyage dates come from the HO 11 register cited at the foot of the page; the born/death/occupation lines are contributor-supplied. The site's Transportation paragraph quotes a Sydney Monitor report of a DIFFERENT Andromeda voyage (female convicts from Cork, 1834) and was disregarded. Nine Saville convicts are listed; this is the only Benjamin, and the only one whose ship, sentence and dates match the man at Lansdowne.
