Convict Notes
William had a brother called Thomas. They were convicted together in Lincoln although they originally came from Norwich. It was their third conviction. After serving their time in Tasmania, they traveled to Victoria around 1850. They both worked as carpenters, although they tried their luck in mining during the Gold Rush. They changed their surname to 'Miles Marshall', probably to hide their convict past. William married Ann Perrins Lewis in Melbourne, 1853. They traveled to Castlemaine shortly thereafter and later lived in Creswick. They eventually settled in Avoca and together had 12 children.
