True or False

Yesterday we went to Sydney Central Library to look for Gilders ancestors that had travelled to Australia in the early years. We went to the family history department and one of the librarians looked up the name in the approximate time of my grand fathers life. Regrettably she could not find any Gilders entering the country. 
She suggested that we look through a section of books, catalogues and micro films that covered emigration in the early years. These books included lists of criminals who had been deported from the UK. Books with lists of pioneers that had been major influences in the shaping of the country. There were no Gilders but we did find a Williams.

And then we found a catalogue that  showed the Name -

  George Gilders who was from the order of St Basil the Great. He was found guilty of theft and deported to Australia in 1787   Ship Log below--

13/05/1787

The 11 ships of the FIRST FLEET left Portsmouth under the command of Capt Arthur Phillip. Different accounts give varying numbers of passengers but the fleet consisted of at least 1,350 souls of whom 780 were convicts and 570 were freemen, women and children and the number included four companies of marines. About 20% of the convicts were women and the oldest convict was 82. About 50% of the convicts had been tried in Middlesex and most of the rest were tried in the county assizes of Essex, Kent and Sussex. Maria said that she thought the picture had a Gilders look about it and felt he looked a bit like my father.  Picture below--
