Convict Notes
HANTS. Assizes, held at Winchester, before Sir Robert Graham and James Allan Parke, Esq.— … John Parry Green, for uttering a forged Bank of England note; … received sentence of Death. … was also left for execution; the remainder were reprieved. Windsor and Eton Express, 10 Mar 1816.
John Parrey Green was a convict who came to Australia on the convict ship Fame in March 1817. We know from his convict records that he was born about 1781 in Staffordshire, England. On 4 March 1816 he had been sentenced to transportation for 14 years, at Southampton (Portsmouth) Assizes. He and another man William Galliott, were tried for "having in possession forged bank notes". John Parry Green was convicted for uttering a false promissory one pound note, purporting to be of the Bank of England, at Portsea, according to a newspaper report. The Convict Indent for the "Fame" recorded the following for John Parrey Green: he was born in Staffordshire, he was a Hacke [hack saw?] maker, age 35, height 5ft 4¼in, with ruddy complexion, brown hair and hazel eyes. John Parry Green's wife Sarah Green, a free woman, also came to Sydney on the Fame. We know this from the 1825 muster which lists "John Perry Green", at Sydney, convict servant to his wife Sarah Green (CF "Fame") "wife of John Perry Green". Sarah Green had been assigned a convict, Elizabeth Dogherty ("John Bull") in September 1824. Sarah's address was Castlereagh Street. The Sydney Gazette reported on 2 June 1825 that Thomas Plumb received a sentence of 7 years transportation for stealing goods from the house of John Perry Green, in Castlereagh-street. However, it appears that John Parry Green committed a misdemeanor himself, because in the 1828 census he is probably the "John Green" in the No.3 iron gang. His wife Sarah, age 45 (CF Fame 1816, Protestant) was lodging at Chas. Alan's[?], Liverpool Street, according to the 1828 census. Finally his term of 14 years ended and he obtained his Certificate of Freedom in March 1830, reported in the Sydney Gazette and other newspapers. "Perry Green", blacksmith, age 55, died in 1836 in Sydney. His burial was on 14 August 1836, recorded in the register of St Philips, Sydney.
