He did not sail for Moreton Bay, Queensland, australia until Jan 1850. I have his records but no where does it say he was held on a Hulk. In trying to ascertain where he was held for those couple years I have contacted the National Archives, who were extremely helpful - but of course - I would have to go there to do research. I notice his name is not among the boys at Parkhurst. Appreciate any suggestions. John Beattie aged 18 was sentenced to ‘transportation’ July 1847 at Kirkdale, Liverpool.
