Convict Notes
William Frederick Jones (1827–16 February 1871) was a convict transported to Western Australia, and later became one of the colony's ex-convict school teachers. Born in 1827, Jones was the mate on a trading ship in his youth. He eventually qualified as a ship's master, but in March 1856 he arrived in Western Australia on board the William Hammond, having been transported for fifteen years for uttering a forged bank note. After receiving his ticket of leave, he was appointed a school teacher at Picton. He taught there from 1859 to 1870. In April 1861 he married an Irish immigrant girl named Rose Ann Breen. He resigned in 1870, and died in Bunbury a year later. Note: convict Central has the William Hammond leaving Plymouth on the 5 Jan 1856 and arriving Swan River, West Australia 29 Mar 1856.
