Convict Notes
Sheffield Independent Yorkshire, England 11 Jan 1845: CHRISTMAS QUARTER SESSIONS GEO. BEAUMONT, alias ALLOTT. OBADIAH alias DYER BEAUMONT, and JAS. BEAUMONT, (father and two sons) were charged with stealing a quantity of linen yarn, at Barnsley, the property of John Becks Pigott and another. Mr. OVEREND for the prosecution. It appeared that the father had been employed by the prosecutor, and was frequently employed all night on the premises, in making gas. Suspicion arising, he was watched, and on the 22d November, was taken, with his two sons, carrying a quantity of yarn, some of which Mr. Pigott identified. Other yarn, similar in kind, but not identified, was found in the father's house. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. A previous conviction was proved against Obadiah Beaumont, and two others were recorded against him. Mr. Overend, on behalf of the prosecutor, recommended that youngest prisoner (a mere boy) to mercy. The father had been several times imprisoned, but never before actually convicted of felony. George and Obadiah Beaumont were each sentenced to transportation for 15 years, and James Beaumont was ordered to be whipped and discharged. George Beaumont arrived VDL per 'Theresa' 1845. Son of George Beaumont and Isabel (Atkinson) Beaumont. Obadiah was 27 years old on arrival. Native place: Bower Hill, Yorkshire. Crime: Burglary - stealing yarn.

Two separate notations that I have have found. One states theft of yam. The other states theft of corn. How can we find where Obadiah served sentence or where he went once he finished serving the sentence please. Date of death etc?
