Hello   I wonder if anyone could help please?  I have been helping an elderly friend compile his family history and in doing so have established that his relative Richard Haycocks was sent for transportation to Port Jackson, Sydney in 1798.  He was on board The Barwell which was chartered by the East India Company.   We have decided at the present time to try and discover more about The Barwell.  We have discovered that after the convict run she returned to the cargo runs that she had done before.  She was sold in 1804 to Fletcher & Co.  In 1811 she was to sail to Lisbon, Portugal and after unloading it is reported that she was run away with by her Captain - John Poole.   We have two questions that we are trying to find the answer to but keep hitting a brick wall, the questions are as follows:-   1       What happend to The Barwell, where did she end up. Was she resold, scrapped or shipwrecked?    2       Any information on Captain John Poole what happend to him?   In the course of our research we have made contact with another researcher in Australia who like us was looking for an image of The Barwell as he too had found that a relative had sailed on her.   We have exchanged information and at present is trying to track down an image of The Barwell as we speak.  We have tried every resource possible in trying to establish information on The Barwell, including LLoyds Register where she is registered until 1807 then she disappears.   We would appreciate any suggestions or information that anybody could give us - Thank You.   Thanks Christine Hughes

Hi Christine Lloyds Registers say Fletcher bought Barwell in 1899. She had her last survey in 1800, her master was J. Toole, the details remain unchanged up to 1807 and she is not listed after that. This suggests to me that she was off the register soon after 1800, at this time she was 19 years old and in poor condition, could she have lasted another 11 years ?. What is your source for the 1811 incident ? . ----- Original Message ----- From: "John & Christine Hughes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2013 5:32 PM Subject: [MAR] The Barwell Hello I wonder if anyone could help please?
