James Seelie aged 15 was transported along with James Raeburn, also 15 (per Georgiana 1831) for stealing silk stockings from a shop.

James was in the Bathurst area when he “married”, although they were not officially married, in 1856, Elizabeth Laws, who had married convict Thomas Toy on 15/3/1842 and they had 6 children.
Thomas Toy died in 1889 and so was still alive when Elizabeth had 5 children with James from 1859-1869. The children were registered under the name of Laws or Toy, but on their respective marriage certificates, stated that their name was Seelie.
Elizabeth died at Dubbo on 2/12/1901.
No death date for James.
