Convict Notes
Born: Matlock, Derby. John Marsden absconded sometime in 1823 and returned to England. By 1825 he was captured and was returned to VDL on the Woodman, arriving in 1826. Having been tried at Derby, thought he might safely set up as horse dealer in London, where he was detected. He was sent straight to Sydney, arriving there in later 1826 on the Chapman. He next appears in NSW Colonial Secretary papers for Moreton Bay, 1838-1839, Reel A.10, so he probably was sent there from Sydney. He received a TL in 1838 and appears in the NSW Goal Description and Entrance Book (Sydney Goal), for that year. TL 1838 5/3/1877: John Marsden died at Tottington, Shire of St. Arnaud, Victoria - died of old age and exhaustion, aged 78, occupation: a trapper. Born Lancaster, England, over 20 years in Victoria.
