Convict Notes
Joseph's widow Jane remarried the same year as his death. Joseph Henry COPPOCK and Jane RANDALL were married on 5 Sep 1838 in Trinity Church Bathurst (Kelso), New South Wales, Australia.8,72 Jane RANDALL (daughter of Living and Living) was born before 29 Apr 1816.75,76 Keyser Family Tree (Ancestry.com) gives Jane Jones, b 1813 Shropshire. I00064. She was baptized on 29 Apr 1816 in St Alkmund, Shrewsbury, Shropshire.72,76 She died on 17 Oct 1879 in Long Swamp, Orange, New South Wales, Australia.72,76 On 12 January 1835 Jane, known as Jones because see had married a William Jones in St Peter's Liverpool Lancashire England, was tried at Lancashire (Liverpool) Quarter Sessions for man robbery and sentenced to 14 years' transportation. It was her first conviction. Jane arrived in Australia on 6 September 1835 on the ship "Mary III" which sailed from London on 16 April 1835, a sea voyage of about four and a half months. (About the ship: Fifth trip, barque 365 tons. Built at Ipswich 1811 AEl Class. Master: Wm Ascough. Surgeon: John Inches. Embarked 180 females, relanded 2, 1 died, landed 177 females.) Upon arrival in Australia, Jane Jones was sent to Bathurst, as the assigned servant of Mr Parker at Dunn's Plains. Age on arrival in Australia: 20 Native place: Shropshire Education: Nil Religion: Protestant Trade: Kitchen maid Physical aspects: 4ft 10-1/2 ins in height; fair to ruddy and freckled complexion; brown hair; hazel eyes Identifying marks: 11, two stars, heart, ERW, M'c, anchor on upper arm; small lump and scar on right wrist; scar back of little finger on left hand. (from the Indent to Convicts, 1835, NSW State Archives) In the 1837 Muster, Jane Jones is recorded as working for master John Brown at Bathurst. Banns for the marriage of Jane Jones ("Mary", 1835, 14 years, bond, present service Mr Parker, Bathurst), and Isaac Peach, 28 widower, free, were posted previous to July 1838. Disallowed. Authorities were not apparently satisfied that Mr Peach was in fact a widower, because he had stated on arrival that he was married with one child. Jane presumably declared her status as a spinster despite her previous marriage and whether or not William was still living! Jane lost no time in finding a replacement prospect as a husband. Women were scarce in those days, and there were always plenty of men wanting to marry the eligible females.
