Not to be confused with Frederick Butler/alias William Brown – also on the same ship. William Clark was 22 years old when arrested for larceny and was tried at the Old Bailey on 27/11/1843. He then changed his name to Brown to save his family the shame of name being recorded for transportation. William spent 2 years in Pentonville Prison. William was the son of William Clark b C:1798 in Sibson, Leicestershire, England. and Martha Pratt born C1801 . He received his CP on arrival and was sent on to Port Phillip. Tasmanian Gov. records ‘Linc’ actually do not have indent or description details of him. 16/2/1847: Married Margaret Sefton at St James Cathedral, Melbourne. Margaret was born 18/7/1823 Ireland and died 17/9/1915 at Coleraine, Victoria. They had 16 children. 28/10/1908: W.C. Brown aged 88 died at Coleraine 29 Oct 1908 of paralysis and senile decay and was buried at the Coleraine Cemetery, Coleraine, Victoria.
