Ah, but there must be more to learn...in a quick search purely out of curiosity, I couldn't find Elijah Teague in subsequent censuses, or a death for him. In a time-wasting frenzy, I found all players in the 1851 census, confirming their evidence! And there are a few deaths that could be Mary Kendall, his mother, but no Elijah. Did he change his name, did he emigrate? Did he come to South Australia, like my ancestors? Did he make good...you can't convince me he was innocent! I wish I had time to find out! I suppose I could justify it by calling it background research, as my direct Sandoe line farmed at Three Burrows, where the Kendalls had their farm.

Poor lad, of course he didn't do it. But he knew who did.
