Convict Notes
I believe that Johns children were left with his brother James Adcock, as the records state that Sarah Ann & Maria Elizabeth were left with his brother. The dates & place in Norfolk tie up with my family tree. Both Sarah Ann & Maria Elizabeth appear in my family tree. Sarah Ann married a George Smith & died at 81 in 1906. James & John must have been brothers & James Adcock is my gt gt gt Grandfather, which makes John my gt gt gt Uncle. Interested to find out more about John & James Adcock All the best Alfie Adcock
John Adcock was part of the Costessey poachers gang, however, he was only transported for poaching 3 pheasants from the property of Lord Stafford of Costessey and not the further charge of shooting with intent to kill as the others were. John was 28 years old, married with 2 children who were left behind with his brother, 5'5" tall, freckled face and breast, light blue eyes, brown hair. John's wife was Sarah Gurney, they were married on 4/10/1825 and children Maria Eliza, baptised 17/4/1825, and Sarah Ann baptised in 1827. Sarah Adcock was on parish relief all through 1827. John was assigned to Mr Anthony Geiss. 1832: TOL
