HI tony,

Hoping you can help, we have a family member George (Fred) Howard who we believe was transported in 1850/1860 for stealing corn. He originated from Wickhampton Norfolk, UK and was pardoned 2 years after his transportation, his wife and 6 children were allowed to join him and went out to W.A.
under public assistance. His father was either Robert or Samuel again from the same area in Norfolk. Sorry thats all the info we have... hoping !

HI Tony and thanks.

The info we have was handed down from my father in law (now deceased) he was born in 1911 and when he was 10 his father told him the story of the transportation. So unfortunately at present we have no more information, however, the family bloodhounds are out and we intend trying to find out more. It was a long shot to send you a message, we just assumed it was WA Will come back to you

Colleen

hi tony,
thank's for your kind offer.
i do not have a lot of detail's but i will let you have what detail's i have,samuel hurst born1790 in gainsborough lincolnshire england,i have him on the 1841 census but nothing after that,a contact rell's me he was transported to tasmania were he got a pardon,he died in tasmania in 1872.
i am not sure if you will be able to help,but anything will be appreciated,
thank's martyn

Hi Martyn.


Australian convict data show there were two Samuel HURST transported to Australia.

One in 1819 sent to N.S.W penal colony
One in 1844 sent to Tasmania penal colony.

Given from what information you have told me.

Samuel Hurst, one of 270 convicts transported on the "William Jardine", 10 August 1844.
Sentence details: Convicted at Nottingham, East Retford Quarter Sessions for a term of 7 years.
Vessel: William Jardine.
Date of Departure: 10 August 1844.
Place of Arrival: Van Diemen's Land.

Transported for stealing Mahogany plank and 3 Pine wood slabs from Mr. Rawlett at Gainsborough
Gaol Report: 2nd Conviction
Status: Married ( Wife and 5 children )

Arrival Tasmania:
35314 Hurst Samuel Date of Arr: 20 Nov 1844...Ship: "William Jardine (1)...." Date dept: 11 Aug 1844... Port of Dept: London, Eng.


Convict Report ( Tasmania Archives )

Ship Report: Good
Trade: Joiner cabinet maker.
Rel: Protestant
Can read and write
Age: 56
Height: 5ft 6in
Complexion: Ruddy
Head: Large

Whiskers: Dark Brown
Visage: Broad
Eyebrows: Brown

Period of Labor: 15 months
Station Gang: "Port Esperance" Tasmania 16th Dec 1844

12th Mar 1847 Sent to work for a John Fiddler of Glenorchy, Tasmania

TL ( Ticket of Leave ) 11th July 1848

Recommended for CP ( Conditional Pardon ) 30th Jan 1849
CP approved 5th Feb 1850


Given that Samuel Hurst was 56 years of age at the time of arrival in 1844 and Conditional pardoned in 1850, making him around 61 years of age, i cannot see any marriage ( 2nd marriage ) that may have taken place on Australian BDM's
Convicts also needed permission to marry or re-marry, but cant find any records regarding a second marriage.

Its also possible ( on occasions )his family ( wife and children ) may have followed him out to tasmania....but i would need to know ( names ) of children and spouse to check.


Colonial Tasmania Family links detail.

Death registered in 1872
HURST, SAMUEL
Gender: Male
Birth 1791 - ENGLAND
Marriage/Relationship:
Death: 22nd Feb1872 - HOBART,Tasmania




Tony

hi tony,
yes that is him,thank you for all the info,with regard's to his family i cannot find his wife catherine after 1841 but she may have met someone else or maybe she followed samuel out there,if she did the only child she may have taken would be william the youngest one,catherine was born 1791 &william 1831,
thank's martyn

Hi Tony and thanks very much for the offer. My family all came from Boldre, Hampshire, England. Stephen Gatrell b c1794 (parents Thomas Gatrell and Hannah Gregory) was sent to Australia sometime before 1817. I know this because he is mentioned in a book by Rev.Comyn about Boldre in 1817 - he just says for stealing and got 7 years. Any extra info you could give me would be very much appreciated.

The name Gatrell has a variation of Gaterille which I have seen on a couple of occasions.

Thanks again

Anne

Hi Martyn.

Nothing showing up for a Catherine on any records.
Perhaps she re-married in the U.K as you say?
