  • Story For Samuel Hockley
  • Samuel Hockley was assigned a convict George Rowley who came out for 14 years on the George Stewart/Stuart (source Colonial Papers Ancestery.com.au) On searcing for more information on George it appears he escaped on an open boat with one other convict to Van Diemans land. He was sent back to Port Jackson on board the Mermaid and then sent to the penal colony at Port Macquarie aboard the Lady Nelson in 1825.(source Colonial Papers Ancestery.com.au) I have noticed that a George Rowley was buried in 1868 at St Thomas Enfield the same cemetery that Samuel Hockley was buried in 1859.Did he come back to Samuel?
