Enoch Chandler was a
carpenter, and also had some criminal convictions for theft and had spent time in prison in the 1820s - 1830s.

Posting this in case it is of use ….
There is a Mr and Mrs Chandler (English) with a 1 yr old son and a baby girl departing Hobart and arriving in Geelong in April 1854 on board the ship “Cape Horn” in steerage. They were listed as ‘gold seekers’. (Ages a little off)
