Edmund PEARCE/PEARSE convicted and sent to Van Diemen's Land 1822 - help please

[matthewj64]

The British Newspaper Archive shows that the Union, Webster, arrived from Van Diemen's Land around the 25th July 1839 - does this timing fit with his next marriage?

Some transporters returned by working their passage. He would not have needed any documentation to return to England.

Thank you for the clarification. I did not know this.

Does anyone know what this means please? Looks like Edmund Pearse was the landlord of the Kings Arms Inn. This was March 1839. His first wife died Jan 1839 and he transferred the license two weeks later to someone else. Does this clipping mean he was bankrupt? Or that he was leaving the country? (which he was doing)

It is Edmund Pearse authorising James Gurney to act on his behalf, in Pearse's absence, in relation to any debts owed by Pearse or any money owed to him. This was common for people leaving the colony.

Thank you so much, I've just seen he departed alongside his soon-to-be wife number 2: Mary Ann Beaumish. So now I know her MMN and that they met in Tasmania. Much appreciated.
