Convict Notes
WARWICK ASSIZES, CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST PAPER. … Catharine Lattimore and Elizabeth Jennings, for privately stealing in the shop of - W. Avery; … severally received sentence Death, but were afterwards reprieved. Aris’s Birmingham Gazette, 12 April 1813. Elizabeth was also transported on the same ship.
By March 1822 the Riley’s had moved up the social scale in the colony when John was appointed to the position of District Constable in Prospect, NSW.  Whilst there were some advantage to this ‘government’ role, constable’s were not as a rule well liked by convicts, ex-convicts or settlers in the colony.  John and Catherine  were recorded in the 1828 census as still living in Prospect. By this time, John and Catherine  had three children.  John aged 6, Diana aged 4 and Susannah aged 2. They gave their religion as Protestant, he was a Constable in Prospect and had 52 horses. In 1837 he was still a constable and appears in print at different quarter-sessions in a witness/prosecuting role for different cases. John eventually left the police force and relocated his family to the Upper Colo where he bought 60 acres of land on the Comleroy Road near Slopes Road in the Kurrajong. The Kurrajong being not far from the township of Richmond in the Hawkesbury district of New South Wales. John died on the 23rd January, 1854 aged 61 and is buried at St. Peter’s Cemetery in Richmond. After his John’s death in 1854, John (Jnr) Riley who was listed as his next of kin applied for letters of administration to the estate. John Riley Jnr, sold thirty acres of the existing farm to his brother-in-law Albert London for fifteen pounds. This land was on the lower half of the property and suited Albert in his farming endeavours.  Immediately following his fathers demise John Riley Jnr had published a warning in the papers warning against purchasing any sheep, horses, property or personal items etc. from his parent’s property. I suspect he was insuring against anything going missing from the farm prior to him completing his sales and closure of his father’s affairs. Catherine also put an advertisement in the papers; 25 May 1854, Sydney Morning Herald, CAUTION.-In the Estate of John Riley, late of Kurrajong, in the Colony of New South Wales, farmer, deceased. All persons arc cautioned not to purchase from my sons John Riley and Edward Riley, or either of them, or any person whomsoever, without my written consent and authority, any of the cattle belonging to this estate, branded OR on the hip, running at Big River or at Yango, as I claim the same as my property. Dated this 22nd day of May, A.D. 1854. her CATHERINE X RILEY, mark. The result was the remaining property which fronted the Comleroy Road stayed with John Riley Jnr. This land would later be used for a brick-works by another family member, Albert London’s grandson, Henry Bottle. The brick-works with bricks stamped HB were reputed to be frequently used in the area for building works.  A ‘convict brick’ to Catherine Latimore (spelt Lattimore) exists in Campbell Town in Tasmania, it is located at the ‘bottleshop’. 118 High Street and is brick number, AJ65. Northern Midlands Shire Convict Brick Trail.

Her death certificate lists her father as William Hines and Diana Latimer. This suggests that her birth might have been before her parents were married and her surname of Latimore came from her mother. The informant for her death certificate was her youngest son, Edward Riley. Some people claim that she was baptized on 21 March 1797 in Birmingham, but that Catherine Lattimore was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Lattimore, which does not agree with the information on her death certificate, and is likely a different person. Her death certificate lists her age at death on 11 June 1868, as 78. This suggests that she was born in 1789-1790.
Catherine's sister Mariah (Maria) Haywood was a witness at her marriage to John Riley (my maiden name is/was Riley, from Richmond NSW).
Correction to my earlier posting typo. Mariah Hines was transported 1807 on the Sydney Cove (not 1811).
Catherine nee Hines had a brother William and 4 sisters: Mariah; Phoebe; Martha and Nancy. Mariah was convicted and transported1811 and Phoebe convicted and transported 1817 to Sydney Cove.
Christened 21 March 1792 at St. Phillips, Birmingham. England & Wales Criminal Registers 1791 – 1892, Warwickshire, record for Catherine Hines. It seems Catharine had several convictions. 1806 for larceny from a shop = acquitted. 1807 larceny, discharged by Proclomation. Her sisters Phoebe Hines (prosecuted x 2 and was jailed on the last attempt) plus Martha were transported. Martha was a witness to Catherine's marriage to John Riley. Catherine was convicted at the Warwick Lent Assizes 29 March 1813 for larceny, privately. Stealing printed cotton -property of William Avery; sentenced to death - commuted to 14 years transportation. (1) married Thomas Lattimore 21 Dec 1807 at St. Martin`s, Birmingham. If the dates are correct, Catherine was ?15yrs old. (2) married John Riley in 1814 in NSW. I am a direct descendant.
Age at death (given on her death certificate) was 78, giving a birth year of about 1790. She married John Riley on 13 June 1814. Her age on the marriage record of St Johns Parramatta was given as 22. She had six children to John Riley: John, Diana, Susannah, Elizabeth, Edward and Martha.
