Convict Notes
Convicted with Thomas Turner. Turner was sent to the prison hulk Hardy at Turner, Portsmouth and was twice recommended for a free pardon. The pardoning of a tiny number of convicts from the hulks was a way of incentivising good conduct on board. Turner was given a free pardon in November 1833. Source HO 17/51/141 and HO 17/78/115
