Henry Sudell

[Mojo47]

Hi,

Although not an ancestor, I’m trying to trace a convict to find out what happened to him as a side story to my tree(he robbed my ancestors shop!!)
The person I’m looking for is Henry Sudell.He was born in the mid 1820s to early 1830s.And was transported on the ship Bangalore, arriving at Morton Bay in 1850.
I also found a reference to a Sudell’s frog, named after a Henry Sudell’s daughter.I wondered if this is the same person??
Any help would be much appreciated.

To narrow down location, his crimes appear to have been committed in Lancashire.

He was first convicted of larceny at Preston, 15 Oct 1845, aged 20.  Sentence: 6 months and whipped.

Next convicted of larceny at Preston, 21 May 1847, aged 22.  Sentence: 7 years' transportation.

Birthdate therefore c1825.

There is one that 'fits' living in Preston in 1841
HO107/498 bk 10 f16 p24
Alice Sudell 50
Margaret 20
Mary 20
Harriet 15
Henry 15

It looks as though he may have been born in 1822 
23 Oct 1822 St John, Preston, Lancashire, England
Henry Sudell
Parents Henry Sudell & Alice
Abode Park Preston
Fathers Occupation Warper

I think we can ignore that one

Hi all,

Thank you for your input.The Henry who stole the cloth and who was earlier whipped and sentenced to 6 months is the correct one.
I am trying to discover what happened to him when he was transported down under.And what happened to him after he completed his sentence.

I have just looked at the trove.nla site and the only definite reference to Henry Sudell is a Ticket of Leave of obtained - reported in NSW Government Gazette of 13/9/1850.

Thanks

Hello John
I think that the Queensland death is for the right Henry Sudell for the following reasons:
28/9/1850 Moreton Bay Courier (Queensland) Ticket of leave granted to above, with others, for Moreton Bay district. Listed as one of Queensland's early pioneers by State Library because of this;
1863 took up 40 acres of Crown Land with Mr Emmerson? in parish of Yeerongpilly in county of Stanley;
1879 married Emma Jane Lamb on 20/11/1879 ref 001142;
occupation seems mainly to have been farming;
7/8/1904 died in Warwick, Queensland (influenza turned into pneumonia) leaving widow and 5 grown-up stepsons and daughters.( Haven't been able to verify that). Warwick Examiner 10/8/1904.
Administration of real estate to Jane Anne Ryan (wife of Maurice Wallace Ryan) lawful daughter and next of kin of said deceased.
He is listed on various electoral rolls and in several directories.
Does that answer your query?
