Biographies
Still searching for a baptismal record but all documents relating to his conviction say he was born in Bristol. He may be the son of William Burnett Giblett (1772-1829) and Ann Burnett (1778-1850) who lived in Bristol and Wells. If that is the case, he had a brother, James, who migrated to Victoria. He was convicted at Taunton "John Giblett and Harry Penny were indicted for having in their possession a bill of exchange for 200l, directed to Messrs. Masterman & Co., and having the indorsement-'Jones & Co.' and George Burnett Giblett for having counselled and incited the said John Giblett and Harry Penny to forge the same. They were all found guilty and sentenced to transportation for life." (Cabinet Annual Register 1834). He was pardoned conditionally (not to leave Tasmania) in 1844 and pardoned further in 1848 but required to remain outside the UK. It is assumed George then changed his name as there are no further records relating to him thus far discovered.
