Convict Notes
David Henry Brogden (sometimes Brogdon) grew up in Bolton, Lancaster, England. Born to Irish parents John and Ann Brogden in Lancaster, he had three siblings: a twin sister Mary, also younger sisters Ann and Sarah. He worked as a piecer in the cotton mill. His first conviction was at age 14 in April 1840 for theft of a silver watch. It was his third conviction for theft of a 'piece of check' at age 19 that led to transportation. After receiving his ticket-of-leave and then conditional pardon in 1848, he found his way to the Victorian goldfields, marrying Ann Green in 1858 in Gipps Land, Vic (yet to be confirmed). By 1860 he had arrived in Lake Bathurst near Goulburn, NSW. A labourer, then pound keeper at Boro, he finally settled in Araluen in the goldfields district near Braidwood. With Ann he had at least two daughters (? and Sarah). He married Mary Guy in Goulburn in 1860. Son David Henry was baptised in 1866 in Braidwood. His death was registered at Braidwood in 1897.
