Convict Notes
In England Matthew had been married to ELIZA SNELL. Registered in Spilsby District: 14 781 for the 3rd Quarter (Jul-Sep) 1841. Matthew is recorded as 'Bouridge'. They probably lived at Stickford, a few miles SW of Spilsby town. In 1842 their son George was born but died about the time of his father's conviction (4th Quarter - Oct-Dec - 1843. Possibly this was why the son born in Australia to Matthew and Sarah was known as 'George'. No divorce record found for Matthew and Eliza but convicts who stayed in Australia permanently were allowed to remarry regardless.
