Convict Notes
From the Greenough Museum web site at https://greenoughmuseum.org.au/convict-notes/ "When he was transported to Fremantle in 1848 after being sentenced to 14 years for a fairly substantial burglary, John Patience left a wife and two children behind in England. That didn’t stop him telling colony authorities he was a widower and marrying someone else. Born at Peasmarsh, Sussex in 1819, Patience was convicted at Dorset on 11 March 1848 along with another man, of breaking into the house of John Stone and stealing six five pound notes, gold, silver and copper coins to the value of £30, a silver watch, a powder flask and a shot charger. He was sentenced to 14 years. Patience came on the Scindian, (the first boat to bring convicts to the colony) arriving at Fremantle on 1 June 1850. He left a wife and two children in England. Patience received his Ticket of Leave on 5 May 1851. The following year he was part of A.C. Gregory’s discovery party to the Gascoyne River. He then worked at the Geraldine Mine, where, by convincing authorities that he was a widower, he married Ellen. The marriage only lasted a year; following Ellen’s death during childbirth. Mother and child are buried at Port Gregory. Three years later Patience married sixteen year old Ann Criddle at Port Gregory. The couple then moved to Greenough, taking up a property now known as “Rock of Ages” (across the road from the museum). Here Patience also found work as a boot-maker. The couple had the following children:- Joseph John (b.1859); Male (b.1860); Isaac (b.1861); Anne (b.1863): Elizabeth (b.1866); Susannah (b.1868) and Hannah (b.1870). Fifty-one year old Patience died on 24 September 1870 at Greenough. His burial place is not known."
