Convict Notes
Charles Hurford was 26 years old on arrival. Native Place: Bridgewater. Charles was literate, protestant, married, no children listed, 5'5½" tall, dark sallow and pockpitted complexion, brown hair, chestnut eyes, small dark hairy mole on right jaw, scar on back of neck, scar on knuckle of forefinger of left hand, little finger of same contracted. 1846: TOL, Wellington 15/3/1852: CP Possible death: 30/5/1867 Maitland Mercury, NSW: Sudden Death.-An inquest was held on Thursday last before Dr Busby, coroner for the district, at Mr Ingram's, in Maidering Swamp, upon the body of a man named Charles Hurford, then and there lying dead. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had for the last fortnight, been staying with Mr. Lygo, of the Mountain Run, and had for some time past been very unwell, but feeling considerably better on Wednesday, he had gone out for a walk, and when in the paddock Mr Lygo saw him fall down. On going to his assistance Mr Lygo discovered that the man was quite dead. Dr. Machattie made a post mortem examination, and ascertained that the heart and lungs of deceased was diseased, and that the disease was of such a nature as to fully account for his death. A singular discovery was made at the doctor's examination, viz, that a number of large hydatids were in existence on the right lung containing from two to three ounces of fluid each. The jury returned a verdict of "Died from natural causes" Bathurst Free Press, May 25
