Hi List, I am still trying to prove which William Alcock/Allcock is my 2GGF A few years back we thought he was the William that came on the Morley, in fact he may well be. The facts that I know from docs I have sighted are: Place of Birth: Staffordshire, England Date: abt 18011 Arrived in Aust: abt 1827 1 Married: Catherine McNamara. St Mary's, Roman Catholic Church in Sydney 9th Nov 1837 There is no reference on his marriage or death cert to indicate he was a convict. He was a labourer and illiterate (His mark was made on some docs), Would an illiterate person be able to afford passage if not at His Majesty's pleasure? #1 These dates are derived from his Death Cert. The William from Morley(4) has similar details re age and place of birth, with the exception he married Agnes Patterson (Buffalo) 2 In 1834 and he was protestant. I can find no reference to the above William or Agnes. Did Agnes die and he remarried Catherine? #2 from the register of convicts application to marry. Hoping someone can help me to finally knock down this brickwall Cheers Hec
