The 1828 Census was the first to be taken in the colony of New South Wales, and the only detailed one to survive in full to the present day.
When I first looked at that for Joseph Moorbee, I only found his partner in crime, Thomas Beasley.
Then I found him listed as Joseph 'Morley'.
The details given about him were: age 31, GS, came to colony on the Eliza in 1822, sentenced to 7 years, Protestant, dairyman, assigned to Jno McArthur, Camden.
