Convict Notes
NSW Convict Index. Thomas Grace, per Blenheim, 1834, Ticket of Leave, No 42/3230. District, Dungog; Tried, Tipperary. MAN FOUND DROWNED.- Last Sunday evening Mr. George Lane having gone down to bathe in the William, observed the body of a man floating, and gave information to the chief constable, who went and got out the body. Decomposition had proceeded so far that it was impossible to recognise the features, but in the pocket was found a ticket of leave for Thomas Grace in the district of Dungog, who had not been seen for about three weeks, but whose absence had not excited surprise, having been of a roving disposition. An investigation was held before T. Cook, Esq., and the body examined by Dr. M'Kinlay, who found a fracture in the skull, but nothing was elicited to show how the deceased met with his death. It was supposed he must have thrown himself from a bank near where the body was found. The ticket of leave holders in the neighbourhood have raised a subscription, and intend to inter the body very decently. Maitland Mercury, 20 April 1844. Convict Death register. Thomas Grace, per Blenheim, Date on Register: 23/5/1845. Remarks: District, Dungog. Found drowned.
