About James Parker, Convict "SS Aurora" 1833

Putting the family tree together with James' first wife Susanna Drew back in England paints a dismal picture of possibly a starving family and five out of six children not surviving infancy. Perhaps knowing of the harsh transportation penalties to the colonies James Parker did what he could to provide for his family.

Notations from the Prison Register: James Parker came to Australia in 1833 as a Convict. He was tried on 6 March 1833 at Norfolk Quarter Sessions for stealing wheat, aged 33 years, and sentenced to seven years and transportation to the Colony of New South Wales. He was transported 4 Jul 1833, arriving in Sydney on 3 November 1833 via the SS Aurora. He was discharged about 1846 after serving 13 years as a convict.
