William Wooldridge1,2,3,4,5
#2340, b. circa 1825, d. 27 Sep 1898
Name Variation | | William Woolridge6,7 |
Birth* | circa 1825 | 8 |
Description* | 1844 | 5 ft 7 inches, blue eyes, fair complexion, oval face, pockpitted.9 |
Marriage* | circa 1854 | Helen Rebecca Campbell; Hobart, Tasmania, Australia; (date/place not yet confirmed)2 |
Death* | 27 Sep 1898 | Flat Top, Rhyndaston, Tasmania, Australia; aged 738 |
Burial* | 29 Sep 1898 | Colebrook, Tasmania, Australia8 |
Occupations-* | | labourer3,10,5,11,2 |
Notes-* | | He is probably the convict William WOOLRIDGE who arrived on the London in 1844 aged 18. His Ticket of Leave was revoked in July/Aug 1852, and his Certificate of Freedom wasn't issued until 15 Feb 1854 (some time after Helen Deborah was born). That would explain why (according to oral history) Helen CAMPBELL "came to Tasmania to ask her daughter Helen Rebecca to return to mainland Australia and leave William behind".12,13,14 |
