Henry was born to parents John Hoggard and Mary Gabbitas in 1820 Walesby
in 1841 he immigrated to New South Wales, Assisted Passenger List 1828-1896. He arrived in Sydney 7 September 1841 single, Protestant and occupation BLACKSMITH
my problem I cannot find a death for him - with help from a member in Rootschat and Trove - I have found some info from the General Post Office for uncollected mail - 1850 and 1868 - but whether this is my Henry I do not know
I have tried searching for marriages and deaths in au, and new Zealand - I also tried passenger lists back to uk but drawing a blank there.
Under family notices in Trove - there are heaps of Hoggard's mentioned but nothing matching what I have already -
Anyway thanx in advance - hoping someone might have better luck than me

NSW Electoral Roll 1878, THE BOGAN
In police district of Cannonbar
Henry HOGGARD, of Haddourigg, residence, Marthaguy Creek
I confirm that these electoral rolls, and many others are NOT available via Ancestry. Coonabarabran - a post town in that district.

Wow!! I am blown away - that will take some time to digest
I have gone through the passenger list - and learnt that he is one 5 blacksmiths, 1 of 8 from Nottinghamshire and from this site - https://www.jenwilletts.com it appears that they were heading to the Hunter Valley region.
I have also gone one step further and I have sent an enquiry to the Australian national archives as to travel to Australia he required a certificate - I can' make heads or tails regarding the bounty of 19, and that he could read and write.

So Henry's bounty was £19 and he arrived per the vessel United Kingdom, he was recorded on that passenger list as aged 21, a Blacksmith, Protestant, both read & write, and from Nottinghamshire.
