William Barclay SNOW

[PETERI1]

I am trying to find the trial record and charges or information on my GGG Grandfather William Barclay Snow. He was convicted on April 2, 1840 at Somerset, Bridgewater and sentenced to Life.   He was transported to Tasmania, Australia on the " Lord Lyndoch "  embarked on 5th September 1840, arriving 5th February 1841.   I have searched the net but found nothing, can anyone help please?
Regards Peter

hi, william snow came on the lord lyndock i would check on the name (Barclay ) no record of that name ,on his convict records, regards ellenmay

Hi Ellenmay,
thankyou for your reply, the maiden name of William's mother was Barclay, his marriage & death certificates show that name.   I have his history from settlement in Hobart, Tasmania, including the list of properties he acquired from the time of his " Conditional Pardon " until his death.   He married Sarah Frazer, another convict, transported on the Emma Eugenia to Hobart, she was sentenced to 7 years for theft, and would be happy to share this with you, please let me know.   I have been searching for the trial records of both but have had no luck to date.   Again thankyou for your reply
Kind regards
Peter.

Kind regards
Peter

Hi Elenmay,
I will check my files & see where I came up with the " Barclay ", I think his mother's maiden name was Barclay Whaley, I have the same certificates as you including his convict record in Hobart and the offences he was charged with there, also Sophia's will, not sure if you have those, also the properties he owned in Hobart, the TAFE College at Salamander Bay is now on the site of those houses.   He was given a "conditional pardon" in the early 1850's.  (*)   No doubt you are aware that one of his granddaughters, Alice,  married Herbert Isaac, they were my grandparents, I have the Isaac tree back as far as 1520 if it is of interest to you.

Will get back when I find the info on the Barclay connections.
kind regards
Peter Isaac.

Well, I stumbled upon this quite by chance!!
I have discovered that a William Snow, who arrived on the Lord Lyndoch on 5/2/1841 in Hobart, married Sophia Frazier, who arrived in Hobart on the Emma Eugenia.

They married and had children, including Alfred William Snow who married Elizabeth Gallaghan... they had children, including my grandmother Irene Elsie Snow.

Here in Australia it is not easy to get into records, particularly Tasmanian, via the internet so your information was fabulous to find tonight.

PS Irene Elsie Snow married James William Bradley who were the parents of my father, James Alfred Bradley, born 1914 in Hobart.. his father's family has been impossible to trace....
