By the way I see Richard HALCROFT had a will  (contested here in part http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article14797669) so I will check for a probate packet for Richard and for Mary (their deaths are in the "gap years" for the online indexes but I can check on microfiche when I am there).

According to my records Richard Halcroft got a Conditional Pardon on 1 January 1842.

CP 35/400 43/45 Recommended by John Street JP, John Piper JP, WH Sutton, JP and
Thomas J Hawkins JP, Bathurst. 4/4478 Reel 797 Page 184 State Records NSW.

My husband is related to Richard Halcroft through his daughter Maria Halcroft.  She married Edmund Shreeves in 1884 in Molong NSW.  Edmund's sister Mary Ann Shreeves (Barber) was my husband's great-grandmother.  Phew!

Yes he was granted a conditional pardon in 1842 but didn't collect it ("apply" for it) by 1850 and if he didn't do so within 3 months then ....

Hi All
this is very exciting
thank you to all for sharing info
I have found the death certificate to Richard Halcroft jrn's wife Maryann Costello
I know Richard Jrn was up for desertion and she dies as a Gannon she dies in Redfern Sydney
I found her death certificate in the Forbes family hostory rooms (where I am a member of)

Sorry I miss understood about his parents date
I have been online in the in the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Clitheroe
in the county of Lancashire Baptisms at st Michael in the Parish of Aughton
I am hoping this like works for you

I have found a Richard Houlcroft with Parents George Houlcroft and Sarah BUT as I have said before I can not Prove it

See what People think please

I have Richard's father in laws death certificate and it says he was buried at the Kelso Church (Bathurst) but there is no evidence  of a grave there for him(I am guessing an Unmarked grave)

thanks Glenn

HI
I am related to Richard through Mary Halcroft married Charles Arthur Hull
My mother was a Hull

I have  a copy of a hand written will for Richard srn but I do not think it was his hand writing because he has put a cross for his name and I have a copy of Mary's Will

I know Richard was very generous to the Salvation Army in Molong
