Hello,
This is another post about this gentleman.
He arrived in Melbourne aboard the Startled Fawn in November 1856. Can anyone confirm or otherwise if he left to return to the UK? I have searched the Passenger Listings without success...........about par for my course :'(
Thank you

H was quite young to travel abroad, unless anyone else knows better
I am trying to work backwards on this but I have on 1851 the following
John Ingram 60 clock and watch maker born Scotland
Mary Ann 50 Monmouth
Edward 13 (?)
Alexander 9
Wallace 5
All siblings born Cardiff

His travel may not have been voluntary. He and his brother Edward were in trouble with the law more than once.
4 years penal servitude in 1854

There is a family tree on Ancestry
Edward and Alexander Ingram seem to have both been naughty boys , 1853 both sent to the house of correction for 1 month
1854 both sentenced to 4 years ( details shown)
I think you ought to look for departures nearer to 1866

The "deserter aspect" begs the question of his leaving Australia. He was originally sent there with the help of the Philanthropic Society but to my knowledge they had no control over his movements once there........so he could have returned to the UK before 1862 and joined the military.

He must have returned, he is on 1861
