Hatfield bushrangers, members

[little meg]

Hi all,
I am researching the Hatfield bushrangers for a little project of mine. 
Not a well know group of bushrangers and their life as bushrangers was only short lived. (4 days  )
I have a lot of details from Trove newspaper site, lots.

Hatfield, NSW, between Balranald and Ivanhoe.
Year - 1879

What I need is a bit more background on the men.

- Thomas Gorman b.c. 1858 stockman (likely ring leader) -21 years hard labour
- charles Jones, b.c. 1858, stockman from Qld. - 14 years hard labour
- William Kaye, b.c. 1860 , stockman local to Hatfield, NSW - 10 years hard labour
- William Hobbs, b.c. 1846, ex- sailor, deformed arm and leg. cook at Hatfield, - 14 years hard labour.

I know what sentences they got but do not know which gaol they ended up in.  The trial was at Deniliquin.
If I can find out where they were born, when they died, if they ever married it will help ad to my files and background details.

thanks in advance

Have a look at the NSW Archives' gaol photographs, possibly some of your persons of interest there.

It is very inexpensive to buy copies of the records and they are very nice, high quality copies.  They also digitise the record online after you have purchased a hard copy.  They can be very informative with details of criminal and personal history.

With a trial at Deniliquin, would the nearest gaol be Bathurst?

SRNSW has photos of Bathurst gaol inmates in the period you are looking at, and also records.
I'd try there first, if it were me.

Ancestry has a partnership with NSW SRO at the moment with many of the gaol photos and crim sheets detailed 



Cheers,  JM  PS, little meg, please check for PM from me.

Would Albury GAOL be likely 

Cheers,  JM

Didn't know Albury had a gaol (thought they were all law abiding citizens there )     

But I see it was there in 1876, so look at that too.
