Convict Notes
Hall Parcell, for stealing 5 sheepskins, was sentenced to 7 years' transportation. Bury and Norwich Post, 24 Jan 1821.
Hall Parcell was transported in 1821 and arrived in Hobart on the Phoenix in 1822. He left behind his wife (Ann, born 1801) and two young children (Joel, born in 1818; Lydia, born in 1820). As noted, he was awarded a ticket of leave on 10 Feb 1843. I have found no trace of him since then. His son, Joel married Eliza Newman in 1839. Joel and Eliza then emigrated to Australia and arrived on board the 'Genghis Khan' with their four children, Ann, Jane, Henry and Elizabeth on Aug 18 1854. They arrived in Moreton Bay, Brisbane, Queensland. I have no evidence that that Joel ever saw his father in Australia.
