Convict Notes
Dianne Jones on 7th June, 2020 wrote re Thomas Mack: 1829: Registration of births at Windsor of Mary Anne Mack (NSW BDM Reg #585/1829 V1829585 13) and James Mack (NSW BDM Reg #2041/1829 V18292041 125), parents Thomas and Ellen Mack. 1846, 14 November: Thomas Mack died. His death was registered at East Maitland (NSW BDM Reg # V18461052 115). 1846, 16 November: Inquest into death of Thomas Mack at Maitland gave the cause of death as “visitation of God” (see NSW Registers of Coroners’ Inquests, 1821-1937, Registers of Coroners´ Inquests and Magisterial Inquiries, 1834-1942 1834-1859). 1846, 18 November: The following article was published in the Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser, p2: “SUDDEN DEATHS. – It is our melancholy duty to record the fearful fact of two sudden deaths having occurred on Saturday last; one being that of Thomas Mack, a labouring man, in the employment of Mr. Reynolds, of Louth Park, and the other that of William Walters, in the employment of Mr. Nowlan of Hunter’s Hill. “The cases were nearly similar, both occurring after dinner, of which meal both men partook heartily, and in seeming health. Both men were likewise employed haymaking, and were seized suddenly while at work in the field; the only difference in the cases being that Walters died instantaneously, whilst Mack lingered for six hours in a state of insensibility. “In both cases death was the result of apoplexy. An inquest was held on the body of Walters on Sunday, and a verdict of ‘died by the visitation of God’ returned. In the case of Mack, an inquiry was commenced before the acting police magistrate on Monday, and terminated yesterday, when a verdict to a similar effect was returned. We are sorry to hear that the latter has left a widow and several young children in very destitute circumstances.”
