Biographies
James arrived in Sydney on the “Canada” (3rd voyage) as a convict in 1815 and was forwarded to Windsor. James had been tried in Cavan in March 1814 and convicted for 14 years. In 1819 he petitioned for a mitigation of his sentence and by 1820 he had joined the local militia and had become a town Constable in Windsor. However by 1823 he had been dismissed due to gross misconduct.
He had a daughter Ann to convict Rose Murtagh in 1821, married Rose early 1823 and had another daughter Elizabeth in Dec 1823. Rose had arrived in Sydney on the “Elizabeth” in 1818 and was from County Meath. When his wife died in childbirth in 1825 (along with their baby son), the two young girls became orphan indents.
In July 1826 he marries again – to another convict Frances Osbourne who had arrived on the “Mariner” on 10 July 1825. Frances dies in 1828 in Sydney. During this time period, James was again working as a Constable, this time for the Australian Agricultural Company (AAC) at Port Stephens. He had been assigned on 21 Sep 1826 and his time expired in March 1828.
James died in 1835 in Windsor Hospital, age 50.
