Convict Notes
Joseph Dalby, charged with stealing a bushel of wheat, from the mill of W. Pick, of Newent Bath Chronicle, 25 Feb 1830.
Joseph Dalby was probably born in Rodburough, Gloucester circa 1799, but from the town of Pershore then Worcestershire (Now Gloucestershire) at the time he was convicted for stealing a bushel of wheat (comprised of a sack and a bunch). He was tried and sentenced at Gloucester Assizes and transported to Tasmania on the 'Southworth' on 6 Jun 1830. He seems to have committed an offence previous to this one, possibly again for stealing wheat. At the time of his conviction he was noted as married and already with 4 children. This was probably Ann Carter (whom he married in Rodburough) and the couple's 4 children Hannah Dalby (1821), Joseph Dalby Jr (1823), Mary Dalby (1825), James Dalby (1828). Following that Joseph Dalby effectively disappears from English records. He was punished for being drunk and having in his possession illicit liquor in Launceston in 1834 and given hard labour for the offence. He was granted pardon and ticket of leave in 1836. Again he was charged and tried for (unknown) felony committed at Glenorchy, Hobart in 1842, convicted in Launceston, and sentenced to another 7 years; however he only served 2 and was then granted probation in 1844, and subsequently pardoned in 1848. He married Elizabeth MIller in 1855, at Westbury, Tasmania and died 1861 age 72, in Tasmania, occupation noted as farmer, by that time he was a widower possibly for a second time. It is almost impossible he divorced his first wife before his later remarriage, unlikely to be an unusual situation given the time and circumstances. Researched by Darian Zam, Social historian, 2024.
