Sentenced to Death and Transportation
1787-1868: The information for this Database has been
taken from a number of records both in this country and Australia and includes
name, age, offence, date & place of trial, sentence, date of execution (if
sentenced to death), name of ship, date of sailing, and destination (if
sentenced to transportation). In many cases additional information will be
included, such as occupation, prison hulk or prison, native place (may just be
county, but in some instance actual place), whether married or single, and any
previous convictions. The first part of this database, covering Yorkshire 1830-1839, is now available on CD.
The next area to be covered will be Lancashire 1830-1839, which I hope to have
ready later this year.
Parkhurst Prison Registers Index: This index is being compiled from registers HO24/15 and PCOM2, held at The National Archives (formerly Public Record Office), covering dates 1838 1863, and relating to boys sentenced to transportation, and at the end of this period, to imprisonment. So far I have the names of all the boys who were sent to Parkhurst Prison between 1838 and 1850, 2194 names in all.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was in the autumn of 1830 that the
agricultural labourers, mainly those in
the southern half of England, rose up against their masters in an effort to
better the lives of themselves and their families. By the beginning of 1831,
instead of the improved working and living conditions they had hoped for, many
families found themselves worse off with the breadwinner confined to prison or
worse still on board the hulks awaiting transportation to either New South
Wales or Van Diemens Land, as Tasmania
was then called, and many of those left behind described as 'on the parish.'
The
riots seem to have been caused by a number of factors the main ones being, poor
living conditions, low wages, at least three years of poor harvests, that of
1829 being followed by a very severe winter which caused further distress to
the farm labourer and his family, the last straw in some areas appears to have
been the introduction of the threshing machine, these machines were seen by the
labourer as taking away his winter employment. It was the threshing machine
that was to become the main target for destruction during the disturbances.
The first threshing machine was destroyed at Lower
Hardres in Kent on 28th August 1830, but before this, there had been
several cases of arson reported and a threatening letter had been received at Mildenhall in Suffolk as early as February 1830. The
trouble spread north and west from Kent reaching a peak in mid November by
which time most counties south of a line from Norfolk in the east to Worcestershire
in the west had been involved in one way or another. Threatening or 'Swing'
letters (so called as many of them were signed by the mythical 'Captain Swing')
were however received as far west as Herefordshire a3nd incidence of arson
occurred as far north as Carlisle.
The main counties from which men were transported were
Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Essex,
Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Huntingdon, Kent,
Norfolk, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Sussex, and Wiltshire.
One or two were also sentenced to transportation in Bedfordshire,
Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Shropshire, Somerset,
and Staffordshire.
The disturbances
took a variety of forms. 'Swing' letters were sent to farmers and manufacturers
threatening the destruction of their property if they failed to remove the
machinery or raise the wages. Stacks and barns were fired, and there were
riotous assemblies with demands being made for higher wages and reductions in
the tithes. Attacks were made on workhouses and overseers. In some counties
machinery and wrought iron foundries were attacked. In Buckinghamshire attacks
were made on the recently installed machinery at several paper mills along a
three-mile stretch of river between Loudwater and Chepping Wycombe. Paper mills
were also attacked at Colthrop, in Berkshire, and Lyng and Taverham in Norfolk.
Also in Norfolk machinery was destroyed at Robert Calver's sawmill at Catton
and the mill itself was set alight. At Wilton in Wiltshire a large mob caused
around £300 worth of damage at John Brasher's woolen cloth factory. Machinery
valued at £2,000 was demolished at Tasker's Waterloo Foundry at Upper Clatford
near Andover in Hampshire, while at Fordingbridge in the same county it was
East Mill, Samuel Thompson's sacking factory and William Shepherd's threshing
machine factory at Stuckton that bore the brunt of the labourers anger. There
were riots involving some Kidderminster carpet weavers, where needle-stamps and
presses were destroyed by workers at Redditch in Worcestershire, but it is not
certain that these were directly related to the labourers movement. In many
instances of machine breaking, particularly in Berkshire, Hampshire and
Wiltshire, the mob made demands for money, beer or food in return for what they
termed 'their services'. Many of those involved in this were to be charged with
robbery when they came to trial.
The
disturbances spread rapidly from one county to the next, taking less than a
week to reach Wiltshire from Sussex. The organisation of the movement was
almost entirely on a local level with leaders or 'Captains' being chosen from
the community. There were however some leaders who worked outside their own
areas the most notorious being 'Captain' or 'Lord Hunt' (real name James Thomas
Cooper), who led a number of riots in Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset. He was
executed at Winchester on 15th January 1831. In most instances
however bands of men from one village
travelled around the farms and hamlets in their area gathering men, demanding
higher wages, destroying machinery and in some cases levying money, as they
went. News of what was happening passed quickly from one village to the next
and it was not long before another band of men with similar grievances were
making their way around their area. In many counties the trouble was short
lived, for example, the riots reached Hampshire around the 10th
November and were virtually all over by the 26th of the same month.
It was
the contagious aspect of the riots that alarmed the authorities, although they
were rather slow to react at first. Some troops were dispatched to troubled
areas but the Government left it to the rural magistrates to deal with the
problem as they saw fit. When the new Home Secretary, Lord Melbourne, took
office in November 1830, it was seen that this was not enough. The Yeomanry
were mobilized, special constables were sworn in and landowners organised their own forces made up of tenants and
servants. By the end of December 1830, the main wave of rioting was virtually
all over and almost, 2,000 men and women had been rounded up and were awaiting
trial. The Government considered that the magistrates in Kent, who had already
tried some of the rioters, were being too lenient and a Special Commission was
set up to deal with those in what were considered to be the counties where
damage had been most pronounced, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire,
Buckinghamshire and Dorset. The remainder were to be tried at the Assize Courts
or Quarter Sessions. The trials did not bring an immediate end to the
disturbances. Riots and demonstrations continued into 1831, with several
threshing machines being broken and, if anything, the number of cases of arson
reported continued to grow after this time.
Almost
before the trials were over petitions were organised by individuals and the
inhabitants of numerous towns and villages throughout the country in an attempt
to save those sentenced to death and to put in a plea for a reduction in the
sentence of the others. In some cases the petitions had the desired effect but
19 men were executed, over 600 were sentenced to varying terms of imprisonment
and around 500 were sentenced to transportation for either life, 14 or 7 years.
Their
exile began with the move from goal to the prison hulks, for the majority of
these men that meant a journey to Portsmouth and the hulk York. For many
the stay on the York was short, in the case of many of those who sailed
on the Eliza no more than a day or two was spent on the York, by
the 6th February, 1831, 244 men were on board the Eliza bound for Tasmania
and by April, 1831, most of the remaining prisoners were also on their way, either
on the Eleanor that sailed for New South Wales or the Proteus that carried 112
men to Tasmania, 98 of them having been convicted of machine breaking or
connected crimes. These particular ships took between 111 and 126 days to reach
their destination. Not all of those sentenced to transportation actually
sailed, some got no further than the prison hulks. Several more men and two
women were to follow the three main ships, arriving alone or in twos and threes
over the next few years making them one of the largest ever groups to be
transported as a result of what was possibly the worst ever disturbances in
rural England.
The
majority of the men were farm labourers; many of the Buckinghamshire men were
described as papermakers. More unusual occupations included James Pumphrey, a
road surveyor from Hampshire, Thomas Whatley a carpet weaver from Wiltshire;
another Wiltshire man was blacksmith Maurice Pope who was also a prizefighter.
In some cases more than one member of the same family was transported, fathers
and sons, brothers, brother in laws and cousins.
The two
women sentenced to transportation were Elizabeth Studham, from Kent, who
arrived at Hobart on the Mary in October, 1831 and Elizabeth Parker who
was sentenced to transportation for seven years for breaking a threshing
machine at Tetbury in Gloucestershire but received a free pardon and was
discharged in July, 1831. She came up for trial again at the Gloucester Assizes
held on 28th March 1832, charged with stealing money from the person
of Daniel Cole. She was found guilty and sentenced to transportation for life
and sailed on the Frances Charlotte arriving in Hobart in January 1833.
On
arrival in Australia the men were kept on board until all their details had
been taken. This having been done they were then brought ashore. In 1831 the
assignment system was still in operation and after being brought ashore the men
were assigned either to government service or to individual settlers.
More
than half the men transported were married with families at the time of the
riots and after they had been in Australia a year or two a few of them applied
to the Governor for permission to have their family brought out at government
expenses. Other men had their families brought out at their own expense after
they were free and some, not all of them bachelors, married in Australia and
made new lives for themselves.
Even
before the Eliza sailed efforts were underway in Parliament to try and
obtain freedom for the men, but it was to be three years before Governor Arthur
was directed to release the first 'machine breaker'. In August 1835, 264
'machine breakers' were pardoned and more were pardoned in the years that
followed. By the mid 1840's the majority of the men had received their freedom,
either by way of a Conditional or Absolute Pardon or a Certificate of Freedom.
The only ones excluded were those who had been convicted of colonial offences.
On the whole the 'Swing' prisoners were fairly well behaved. The conduct
records for the Eliza and Proteus men show only minor offences in
the main, most relating to drunkenness or the neglect of duty.
Those
men who had received a Certificate of Freedom on the expiry of their sentence
or an Absolute Pardon, were free to return to England if they wished or could
afford to do so, some did. I have so far found more than twenty instances of
men making their way back to England where they were reunited with their
families after an absence in some cases of nearly ten years. For the vast
majority of the men though there was to be no return to England. Most stayed on
in Australia and made new lives for themselves, working as labourers,
tradesmen, farmers and innkeepers. Some made their way to Victoria during the
Gold Rush, others after much hard work, prospered, a prosperity they might not
have achieved had they remained in England.
Over
the last few years I have been contacted by a number of the descendants of
those involved and I am indebted to them for all the details they have passed
on to me on their particular ancestor and for putting me in touch with other
descendants. It would seem that a number of those transported maintained
contact with their former shipmates.

The convict ship Eliza
sailed from Portsmouth on the 6th February 1831. On board were 224
male convicts, all of them had been convicted of machine breaking or associated
crimes. All the convicts survived the voyage. The Master of the Eliza
was John S Groves and the Surgeon Superintendent was William Anderson. The Eliza
arrived at Hobart Town on the 29th May 1831.
The following list gives the
name, age, place & date of trial, and sentence of those on board. Further
