Convict Notes
John Lindley, along with John Peacock (Lady Ridley 1821) was involved in The Yorkshire West Riding Revolt of April 1820 which was an uprising planned by working class radicals. It is thought to have been associated with Scottish uprisings. On 1 April, about 2,000 armed men approached the town of Huddersfield from four directions, with the intention of taking the town from the garrison stationed there. For some reason the plan was aborted, the insurgents withdrew and returned to their homes and only four men were arrested, after the event. Four men were prosecuted as a result of the events on 1 April. John Peacock and John Lindley were transported to Van Diemen's Land, and Nathaniel Buckely and Thomas Blackburn served two years imprisonment before being pardoned. John had a wife and children at Mirfield. 6/9/1826: Had a TOL 17/5/1828: Free Pardon.
