Samuel Duffield b1795

[Tineke]

Can anyone help find the death of Samuel Duffield b1795 South Normanton Derbyshire England  He was transported to Tasmania in 1821 to the penal,colony.   He served his time and married a female convict in 1840 at Avoca.  His wife was Mary Cullingford.  but after they were free I think she changed her name to Martha as I have seen records for Martha Duffield
 I have just found a death record for a Martha Duffield b c1803.   She died 27 / 5 / 1881 at Campbell Town  Tasmania.  I cannot find Samuel.  I doubt they had any children but it would be nice if they did.   After their freedom the trail seems to have gone cold.    I would be very grateful for any information.   Kid regards.

There's a Samuel Duffel, died Campbell Town 1870, but the recorded age of 88 isn't a good fit

Mention here of a Martha Duffell, Campbell Town, in 1878

No other results on Trove for those names in Tasmania

Just to note that Mary CULLENFORD was a widow before her marriage to Samuel. She was 32 (he was 49 in 1840).

Thanks for your reply.  I knew Mary was a widow. ,I,have copies of permission to marry and the marriage at Avoca in 1840.     It is just the information after they served their time which is lacking.  However I have contacted the library in Tasmania for information on their  deaths.   Many thanks Tineke

July 5 1870 CoE burial record for Samuel Duffield, age 91. Soldier Waterloo

Even though the age is out, that sounds like a reasonable possibility - especially as Samuel was convicted at the Guard Room St James Palace and was a "soldier".

I meant to note also (although you probably know) that on "Martha"'s death reg it notes she was a "labourer's widow", so Samuel died before 1881.

Yes, Waterloo mentioned in previous thread here

Ah, thanks Matthew - didn't realise there was another thread on this couple. Always a good idea Tineke to link other threads to avoid doubling up research.
