  4. R U the Robert John on My Heritage? We seem to have a link via COE/ELRICK. Eldest COE in tasmania was a convict from Essex, Daniel. Daniel had 2 families (at the same time) in New Zealand and in Hobart. The Tasmanian one was based in Battery Point. The NZ one is quite interesting, as one of the 2 Daniel COE juniors lived with the Maori around the Bay of Plenty prior to the Maori wars.
