The information that Daniels father made the petition is incorrect. Granted it looks like William, but in fact it is Mrs Fowler.. and after years of costly research we have never been able to uncover her Christian name.

Daniel Fowler was my G. G. grandfather he was married in England with 4 children when sentanced in sommerset he was living in Lanes End Staffordshire at he time of his arrest. I have no knowledge of that family only the one he started in Australia. Daniel was educated and came from a well to do family that is all we know other than he claimed to be born in Bristol. Any assitance would be so appreciated to find his family mother or father.
