I am trying to find out about many holes in my research about James and Samuel MARKWELL (variations can include e.g. MARKALL, MACKWELL, MAXWELL), convicts to New South Wales, Australia, James 1832 on the Lady Harewood and Samuel arriving 1836 on the Strathfieldsaye.
James was b 1792 but bp 1794 in Stuston Suffolk England, with parents John MARKWELL and Elizabeth WEAVERS. He seems to have m Mary BRONWIN 1814, then been transported. He received a Ticket of Leave in 1840 and a Certificate of Freedom in 1846. From wonderful Trove, he was a fishmonger (or carpenter) assigned to Thomas MALONEY of Wilberforce in 1832. Could it be him buried in Wilberforce Cemetery in 1870, with his son John (possibly John Reeve Markwell?) and John's wife Harriet (possibly ShREEVE)?
Samuel is harder to get any facts about, besides being b possibly 1808 (or 1803?), probably in the same place, and being a carpenter who received a Certificate of Freedom in 1842 or 3. Could it be him who died in Port Stephens in 1873, 70y?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
