Convict Notes
I am unsure if the John Seeley associated with William and Ann is the same as this convict. The baptism records of 1794 state that this John Seeley died in March the same year. Also, on his convict records, it states his place of birth as Worcestershire. I am still trying to confirm his parents. The cemetery records do state that his father was William Ceely. He is listed as 20yrs at the time of trial in 1818, putting his birth at around 1798.
