Brothers? Thomas, William and John Garbett were all convicted in 1819 and transported to Australia in 1820. Thomas and William were both tried at the Salop Assizes in Shropshire, but for different offences and on different dates, Thomas on 17 March and William on 4 October. John was sentenced at the Warwick Assizes on 7 August 1819. Thomas arrived in Van Diemen’s Land 17 November 1820 on Caledonia. He remained here until his death in 1873. His son James, however, made his way to the Gilgandra area in the Central West of NSW, where he married and raised his family. William arrived in VDL 26 July 1820 on Maria. He was transferred to NSW in 1823. He later settled in Cobbora, also in the Central West of NSW. John arrived in NSW 22 April on Agamemnon. Records show that his sons, John and James ranged over a wide area of country NSW, while engaged in bushranging activities with Fred Ward (AKA Captain Thunderbolt). Did the Garbutts congregate in this region because of existing close family ties? On the Stuart Family Message Board site http://stuartfamilyhistory.proboards.com/thread/6 administrator Sarah Stuart writes: Post by Sarah Stuart on Jan 22, 2011 at 6:42pm Thomas and William Garbutt came to Van Diemen’s Land as convicts. Their brother John followed soon after. Little is know about William Garbutt except that he moved with his brothers to the Gilgandra area. John Garbutt married Sarah Ann Ward the sister of the famous bushranger Captain Thunderbolt (Frederick Wordsworth Ward) and had three children. Two of which helped Thunderbolt steal fifteen horses before being sent to Cockatoo Island Gaol. Thomas married a fellow convict by the name of Ann Wood and had seven children: William (b. 1835 Tasmania), John E D (b. 1843 Tasmania), Caroline (b. 26 June 1846 Tasmania), Mary Ann (b. 1847 Tasmania), Eliza (b. 8 December 1849 Tasmania), Thomas (b. 1837 Tasmania) and my great, great grandfather James. James Garbutt was born in 1845 in Tasmania. He came with his family to Gilgandra, NSW and worked as a Bullock driver. On the 18th of March 1880 he married Rachel Catherine Elizabeth Mills and had eight children: Ethel May (b. 17 April 1887 Coonamble), Eliza Ann (b. 1882 Dubbo), Edith Jane (b. 1885 Dubbo), Isabella Caroline (b. 1891 Coonamble), Herbert William (b. 1892 Coonamble), Leslie Joseph (b. 1889 NSW), Edgar Vivian (b. 1897 Coonamble) and my great grandmother: Agnes Elizabeth Garbutt. He passed away on 26th of January 1918 at Gilgandra. Agnes Elizabeth was born in 1881 in Dubbo. She married George Henry Stuart in 1899 at Warren, NSW and had eight children. (See Stuart section for her children.) Agnes passed away in 1973 at Sydney. Leslie and Isabella never married and looked after their mother until her death. Their house in Armatree, Gilgandra was turned into a museum. Edgar Vivian worked as a cobbler, which was an occupation many of the Garbutt brothers tried. Garbutt is a household name in Gilgandra where there are many Garbutts still living. I have been unable so far to find any solid evidence that the 3 convict Garbutts were brothers, but it seems possible, even likely that some family ties existed. I did locate a source that shows Thomas Garbett and a William Garbett being tried together for larceny at the Salop Assizes (Shropshire) in 1818. They received a sentence of 3 months imprisonment.
