Convict Notes
Daniel spent a short time at Hyde Park Barracks before being assigned to Broughton at Burrowa (now spelt Boorowa). He worked as a farm hand having been experienced with farming back home in Potterspury UK. He married & had four children. He was the Poundkeeper at Burrowa before taking up a station managers position at East Bland Station which was the outback at the time in the early 1850’s. It was there that he died from consumption after the flood of 1852. He is buried there. There is no record of his death.
Daniel Carr was my paternal great great grandfather. The second christian name of Gunning was added (recorded on birth of his fourth child in 1850) probably to distinguish from another Daniel Carr.
