William GOODE (1808-1865)

Not sure if related to the Goode from Pt Pirie.

Search digitised newspapers for news items and  a very long winded memorial service in 1910 .

Search for any convict records...only two Wm GOODE's.  I don't have time today read the digitised files.

I also wondered if his marriage to Jane in 1850 was a second one in the light he was born c1815 according to the death reg.  Not everyone from Tasmania was a convict .  Many free settlers moved to the mainland when land was made available in Vic and SA.  It is also possible that this Wm GOODE boarded the ship in Melbourne.  The "From Launceston" is simply the origin of the voyage.  It is possible that the ship called in at the Ports of Melbourne or Geelong, Belfast, [Port Fairy]/Portland/Robe etc.  Many coastal vessels carried cargo.

Did Jane remarry?

Would explain why he's not on passenger
              lists!)

Survival rate for passenger lists in South Australia is poor.  Not all coastal traders were required to lodge passenger manifests especially prior to ?1852.  Wm may have arrived in South Australia as an unassisted passenger and there is possibly no record other than X number of males in steerage.  I'm sure someone else can add to this.

A couple of online trees suggest William GOODE was born in Northumberland and his wife [photo] was born Scotland.  Possibly you are aware of this however may help if you are searching convict records.

Obviously late to the party.
I've been investigating same guy and his arrival to Australia.
I found records of Castle Eden too. The W Goode there was a part of the 11th Regiment that arrived in Tasmania then some went to Sydney. It seems like he was an Ensign then got promoted to Leiutenant. I've found a few mentioned of Lt Goode in various shipping notices around the place. and potentially mention of the 11th being in Adelaide (although not specifically W Goode) ....I'm working on the timeline of all these mentions but so far its quite close to late 1840s so running out of time to get to SA and meet J N Anderson....

Edit. This is all from trove articles btw.

I see that too, but no idea where it comes from. Seems very speculative when there doesn't even seem to be any proof of how he got to Aus or much of a biographical detail apart from a birthday range 1808-1815

Some snippets, given that the date of birth is unsure:

New South Wales And Tasmania: Settlers And Convicts 1787-1859
William Goode, 20, per ship Surry,
Year of arrival: 1834
Tried at: Middlesex
Name and place of master to whom assigned: W T Jamieson. Liverpool

Same person:
New South Wales, Australia, Convict Indents, 1788-1842 for William Goode, Annotated Printed Indentures, 1834
William GOODE, 18, can read and write, protestant, single,
Native place: London
Occupation: arnotto manufacturer
Tried Middlesex for 'stealing arnotto', 2 January 1834 - transportation 7 years
Dark pale complexion, brown eyes, brown hair, scars: right thumb, forefinger left hand, right shin

I'd never heard of Arnotto/annotto.  It's apparently  A red or yellowish-red dyeing material, prepared from the pulp surrounding the seeds of a tree (Bixa orellana) belonging to the tropical regions of America. It is used for coloring cheese, butter, etc. from https://www.wordnik.com/words/annotto  Very exotic!  Another reference suggests it may be used in incense.

There is an account of his trial here: https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/record/t18340102-116

There's this reference from the Tasmanian Names Index:
https://librariestas.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/en_AU/names/search/results?qu=goode&rw=12&isd=true
Goode, William
Record Type: Convicts
Ship: Louisa
Remarks:
To NSW per Surrey 1834. Reconvicted as Henry Hill
Index number: 80343
Record ID: NAME_INDEXES:1395823

I am not familiar with Tasmanian records so can't figure this one out at all!!

There's also this man in Tasmania - and there are other records for him
Tasmania, Australia, Convict Court and Selected Records, Register
Comprehensive register of convicts (CORE SERIES) A - L, 1841-1845
William GOODE, tried Warwick Assizes (Coventry), 5 August, 1837, sentenced transportation life, crime: robbery

Thanks Judith, the possiblity of him coming to Australia as a convict is a strong one imo. The good part of that is that there extensive records kept! I saw a while ago some dual name listing for William Goode/Henry Hill... strange. I hadnt looked into it more due to the term being life making it less likely he was out and in Adelaide in time to get married.
