Note
|
Samuel was tried at Knutsford, England and sentenced to 7 years deportation for stealing 5 lbs of beef. He arrived in Tasmania on the convict ship "Lady Montagu" and was granted his Ticket of Leave in 1853. The "Hobart Gazette" of December 1852 stated that Samuel was made a Constable of Van Diemen's Land. This is interesting as he was made a Constable of Van Diemen's Land whilst still a convict. Samuel married Mary Dwyer in 1853 and the marriage certificate shows that Samuel was a Constable. However, on the birth certificate of his son William in 1854 his occupation was stated as "Butcher". There is no record of Samuel after 1858 and it is presumed that he changed his name and died under that name. It was common practice for convicts to change their name to obliterate any trace of convict origins. |
