Hi Patrick,
Info I have so far is that Joseph came out on the ship mentioned below. Also his future brother in law Charles Bird. Joseph married Fanny Charlotte Corregan and Charles married her sister Elizabeth. The sisters came out on the ship "Mary Harrison" 24th June 1862.
William Hammond - arrived in WA in 1856 SOURCES
This 683 ton ship was built in Sunderland in 1853. It was employed as a convict transport for Western Australia and left Plymouth, England on January 5, 1856 bound for the Swan River Colony. She carried the sixteenth of 37 shipments of male convicts destined for Western Australia. The voyage took 84 days and the William Hammond arrived in Fremantle on March 29, 1856 with 89 passengers and 250 convicts [Erickson]. Horatio Edwards and George D. MacLaren were the captain and surgeon respectively.
There were no deaths recorded on the convict shipping and description lists and 250 convict numbers were assigned for the voyage ranging from (3722 to 3971). The [Bateson] claim that 250 convicts embarked and only 249 arrived does not agree with either [Erickson] or the convict lists mentioned above.
Of the 89 passengers mentioned above, all 89 were pensioner guards and their families, the number being made up of 29 pensioner guards, 20 wives, 25 sons and 15 daughters.
George D. MacLaren's surgeon's journal for the voyage is preserved in the Public Record Office (PRO) in London. Researchers can view a copy on the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP) microfilm reel 3212 which is held in most major libraries and archives offices throughout Australia.
Hay Joseph 3757 10y 29 ... ... ... ... .. .. .... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... aka [HOY]
Joseph pinched some rabbit traps and was sentenced at Norwich on the 7th January 1852. He was shown as a widower with one child. So whether he was in Norwich Gaol in March 1851 on the same charge, it is not clear. He received his ticket of leave on the day he arrived in WA and his Conditional Pardon on the 12th November 1859.
His future brother-in-law, Charles Bird, aged 17, was sentenced at Warwick on the 5th January 1852 for stealing silver forks and got 10 years, 4 months and 2 weeks. He was a shoemaker. He arrived with Joseph on "William Hammond" on the 29th March 1856. He got his ticket of leave on the same day of arrival and his Conditional pArdon on the 21st April 1860.
Would it be possible to get an email copy of that newspaper clipping?
Regards
Connie
