Intermediate Mr Stein. 24 in the Steerage Mr and Mrs Shadgate, Messrs Kemp and George Fowler and 21 adult males, emigrants. Surgeon Superintendent Mr Britten. From: "Ada Ackerly" I'm going to be a bit more systematic: Exiles known to have been sentenced in Oxfordshire. William SMITH sentenced in Salford Dec 1842, came on the ROYAL GEORGE arriving 11 Nov 1844, one of only 21 who were sent as a trial shipment to see if they would be accepted. They were quickly whisked off to squatters who had agreed with their patron, William Yaldwyn, who was returning after a trip to England, that they would take the men. I think we can safely say that these were handpicked model prisoners, expected to take advantage of their opportunity. |
