Convict to Australia from West Dean (General)

Hi,

I am researching a William Hale born in West Dean c1805 parents Thomas Hale and Sarah Hadley. He was convicted of stealing and sent to Australia in 1832. His shipping papers indicate he was married to a Sarah, maiden name unknown, and left behind 4 children, 3 sons and one daughter. I believe the daughter may have been called Mary Ann born 1832.

Is anyone able to advise me if parish records are available for West Dean in Gloucestershire to enable me to trace his wife and children.

Thanking you,
