Convict Notes
Isaac Dole and his brother, George Dole, were cordwainers in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire; they made new shoes from new leather, as opposed to a 'cobbler' who repairs shoes often from used materials. As master cordwainers they were able to employ journeymen cordwainers and apprentices. On March 6, 1792 the Dole brothers paid 'Duties for Apprentice's Indenture' for their apprentice: James Rudman. Isaac was 25 years old at this time. In April 1817, Isaac (aged 50) was charged with receiving stolen goods - he was acquitted. Two years later, in January 1819, he was charged with the same offence, this time found guilty and sentenced to 14 years with transportation. He was now 52 years old! His two youngest sons were only 7 and 3 years old - both sons finally met up with their father in Sydney when they were in their mid/late 20's, both qualified 'druggists' (chemists). Isaac never saw his wife again. On receiving his 'Ticket of Leave' Isaac became a locksmith in George Street, Sydney. He was now an honest member of the community and a staunch adherent of the Bathurst Street Baptist Church, Sydney, mentoring other convicts to live law-abiding temperate (sober) lives. He died in Camperdown (Sydney) aged 81 years. His youngest son, James Dole, was the first chemist in the Colony. His other son, David Dole. also a chemist set up his business in Collins Street, Melbourne about 1840.
