In 1789, age 18, he enlisted in the 3rd Dragoon Guards. He was discharged in August 1797. In 1800 he was indicted at Bury St Edmunds Assizes that "In company with five others, he did at midnight on 22nd September 1800, steal two silver cases valued at twenty shillings, a silver cream pot at six shillings, a pair of silver tongs at two shillings, seven silver teaspoons at six pence, and four pounds in money". Thomas Ainsworth Anlezark was found guilty, and sentenced to death by hanging. However his sentence was reduced to life imprisonment.

After being confined for two years on the prison hulk Coromandel at Portsmouth, he was put aboard the convict ship Perseus at Spithead on 12 February 1802 for transportation for the rest of his life to Australia. He arrived at Port Jackson (Sydney) on 14 August 1802.

There he must have been an exemplary prisoner because he received a Conditional Pardon on 16th June 1803. He was appointed a Mounted Trooper, and served in putting down the "Castle Hill" rebellion of Irish convicts at Toongabbie in March 1804. This rebellion was also named "The Battle of Vinegar Hill", as some of the Irishmen had been sentenced to transportation to Australia for life following their defeat at Vinegar Hill in County Wexford in the 1798 uprising in Ireland .

Australian Royalty
Britain used transportation to distant lands as a way of getting rid of prisoners. After Britain lost its American colonies in 1783 the jails of England were full. So, Australia, which had recently been claimed for the British Crown by Lieutenant James Cook, was chosen as the new destination.

Only a generation or so ago, descendants of convicts were ashamed of their heritage. However, since the 1988 bicentenary, it has become increasingly fashionable to discover a convict ancestor. Early arrivals, especially on the first fleet, were particularly welcome finds with convict ancestry one of the most sought-after prizes of genealogical inquiry.

Then, in January 2008, the first episode of the first season of the Australian version of the television series, "Who do you think you are"?, featured Australian award-winning actor, Jack Thompson, who quipped that, "these day, unlike times gone by, having a convict ancestor gives you the status of Australian royalty".

The new penal colony and British settlement in Australia was planned for Botany Bay, today the location of Sydney airport. However, Botany Bay was not as hospitable as first thought. The bay was shallow, there was not a large supply of freshwater, and the land was not fertile.

A beautiful harbour in Port Jackson to the north was discovered and had all those qualities. They named it after the British Home Secretary, Lord Sydney. They made this the site, Sydney Cove, for the new colony. The first ships (First Fleet) landed there, at present day Circular Quay, on 26 January 1788. This date today is being celebrated as Australia’s national holiday, Australia Day.

When transportation ended in 1868, over 150,000 convicts had been transported to New South Wales and other Australian colonies. Most convicts stayed in Australia after serving their sentences, and some became well-known, important people within the Australian colonies.
