Convict Notes
Died 2nd August, 1857. Drowned after falling off the ship "Wave of Life", as provided by Charles Stuart, Commander of ship, Lat 45 38N, Long. 80 30W, Bay of Biscay.
His wife Susannah followed him, arriving on the Minstrek in 1812. She subsequently returned to England and came back to Australia with their son John on the Surry (or Surrey) in 1820
A John (William) Tindale appeared on the Nov 1828 census at Bathurst as a farmer with 2575 acres - 160 cleared, 37 cultivated, 11 horses, 737 cattle and 1750 sheep. He was described as 38 years of age, free by servitude, a Protestant, and living with him was Elizabeth Clark, free by servitude (Speke 1807), housekeeper, and children John Tindale 18 (came free Surrey 1820), son; Mary 14, William 9, Esther 7, Jane 6, Ann 4 Eliza 2, all born in the colony.
John had been married in England, sometime before 1810, to Susanna Emma Luttrel. They had one child, John Richard, born 1809. When John was transported, it appears that Susanna and John (jnr) may have remained in England. Susanna died in 1828 and then we find John (jnr) being present in the colony at the 1828 census and married in 1830. Young John appears to have arrived on the Surrey, 1820.
