Convict Notes
Old Bailey: WILLIAM ABELL was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the 8th of July , 30 guineas, a half-guinea, 49 dollars, three Bank-notes, each of the value of 10l. three other Bank-notes, each of the value of 5l. two other Bank-notes, each of the value of 20l. eight other Bank-notes, each of the value of 2l. and a promissory note for the payment of 51l. 18s. the property of James Trimbey ; two pocket-books, value 2s. 15 guineas, and four Bank-notes, each of the value of 1l. the property of Thomas Pearson ; and another Bank-note of the value of 100l. the property of George-Henry Trimbey. William was 24 years old when convicted. Found no records of him anywhere except the Old Sydney Burial Ground list - a death in 1806 for a convict William Abel. All the other William Abel's are accounted for, so this, I am assuming is him.
