Australian Convict Susan Leake Alias Leats
« on: Monday 10 July 17 05:32 BST (UK) »
Hi i  have been trying to uncover some family UK  background of

Susan Leake Alias Leats

Born Abt 1805 St Pancras ??????   
Aged 17 - Old Bailey for Larceny  and sent to Tasmania aboard the " Lord Sidmouth "
Middlesex records state " been in Newgate before "  but cant find  records .
Sent out to Tas  abt 1822  i think it was or 23-

Married 3 convicts
Philip James Plummer - Maybe the  " Guidford "
William Flashman
Lived  unmarried with  convict Joel Absolem
Edward Jones - Ship Kathryn Stewart Forbes

 Was in Cascades  Womens   in Hobart
Died in Hobart address Veterans row
Have tried for years to get through this brick wall .

The book  about female convicts called "Notorious  Strumpets and dangerous girls "  have her restricted  info in there  - St Pancras

Any ideas of where to go next

Her conduct record is here:

Seems she kept reoffending and returning to prison, so probably a few other Tasmanian records available.

That's true, Rosie, but there may be someone who looks at the Australian board more than the London& Middlesex board, who has the answer.
Su also says she has a brick wall about Susan's death in Australia.

I realise you are after her UK origins, but I can see value in revisiting her Tasmania records with fresh eyes … as I think there’s something amiss… 

I can see that a Susan LEAKE, widow, married in 1834 in Tasmania, but not to William FLASHMAN.   Please check and confirm she married Charles FLASHMAN and as a widow, so LEAKE may be from her earlier husband’s surname, rather than her birth surname...

From the link M provided, it is noted there with date of June 20, 1828, that that she was “Ux Plummer”, so I would expect her surname as a widow on that 1834 marriage to be PLUMMER...

“Was again tried at the QS Hobart Town on the 27 Februarry 1850 for Sheep Stealing and sentenced to Transportation for Life which was afterwards commuted to Imprisonment with hard labour for 2 years Aprd 1/3/50 Factory Hobt.”


Here’s an image of a 1834 marriage in Tasmania of a Susan LEAKE https://stors.tas.gov.au/RGD36-1-2p132j2k

Marriages solemnized in the Parish of Trinity,  County of Buckingham …

Charles FLASHMAN, otp, Bachelor, AND Susan LEAKE otp, Widow, married in this Church by Banns with the consent of both, this seventh day of April, 1834, by me, P PALMER, Rural Dean and Chaplain.    Witnesses were Richard ELLARD of Hobart Town and W F WOLDING of Hobart Town. 
Groom signed,  Bride made her mark.   

Please notice that the bride’s surname initially recorded as LEAKES and then corrected by crossing out the ‘s’ to read LEAKE.

This could be Susan:

Middlesex Criminal Register - 1821

Susannah Leatt age 16

Larceny   -   6 months



There's a fine line between St.Pancras and Marylebone, so this could be a possible baptism.  Maybe?

St. Marylebone
Born 1805      Baptised 25/10/1807

Susanna Leatt  dau. of John and Susanna
