Edward MARKHAM - Rathkaele, Co Limerick IRE, to New South Wales (Mangles II) 1822
Edward/Edmond/Edmund MARKHAM (son of James & Ellen Markham of Rathkeale, Co Limerick IRE) was sent from Ireland to NSW as a convict in 1822. He was charged with having a case of pistols in his possession after a search of the neighbourhood of
Mt. Brown, adjacent to the Parish of Croagh near Rathkaele. For this crime, he was sentenced to seven years transportation under the Act of Insurrection at the Special Sessions in Co. Limerick on 4th April 1822. Edward’s name headed a petition of 30 local young men who unsuccessfully petitioned that they were ‘not guilty’. He was placed on board the Mangles(2) which left Cork on 21 June and arrived in Sydney on 8 November 1822.
