Convict Notes
He was an agitator in the political reform movement which led to the Reform Act of 1832. A newspaper record of his arrest described him scathingly as "a reformer of the first class" and gleefully predicted his conviction and transportation to Australia.
He was born at Newport Pagnell, Bucks on 13 April 1810. His crime was assault and robbery. He married Frances Crowther, a free native of the Colony, at Black Creek (now Branxton) NSW on 20 March 1837. The couple had two surviving daughters..Harriet COLE, born 1836 Black Creek and Elizabeth COLE, born 1840 Black Creek. William died at Branxton, NSW on 5 June 1859. Many descendants now remaining in the Tamworth district of NSW.
