Convict Notes
Although attributed to another "john Gale" (The John, 1832 sailmaker, convicted in Gloucestshire) elsewhere on this website, i believe THIS John Gale married Margaret hamilton in wellington nsw in 1850. Their son, george hamilton gale (Envoy Gale of Salvation Army fame), indicates his father's occupation as butcher in Sofala. The newspapers (on trove) include numerous references to a butcher named John Gale in Sofala. John gale's death certificate indicates he was born in Devizes, Wiltshire, was a sheep farmer, and had been in the colony 47years in 1886. This correlates well with John Gale, 21, a butcher, who arrived on the Mangles in 1840, having been convicted of sheep stealing in Wiltshire in 1838 at the age of 19.
