Death

Aged 67.

Note

On 12 April 1834 the 'Hampshire Advertiser and Salisbury Guardian' reported from the Wiltshire Quarter Sessions: 'James Lovelock, for stealing a pig, the joint property of John Gould, and Thomas Platt; and Robert Lovelock, for having received the same, knowing it to have been stolen, were sentenced to seven years' transportation'.

It seems likely that the Guardian's reporter had not been paying attention. On 14 April 1834 the 'Salisbury and Winchester Journal' reported from the Wiltshire Quarter Sessions: 'Nathan James, for stealing a pig, the joint property of John Gould, and Thomas Platt, at Froxfield, and James Lovelock, for having received the same, knowing it to have been stolen, were sentenced to seven years' transportation'. A Robert Chivers was admitted evidence for the Crown.

Note

According to the 'Certificate of Freedom' granted to James on 9 June 1842 at Port Macquarie his trial had taken place on 8 April 1834, he was born in 1794, he was 5 feet 7 1/2 inches tall, had a ruddy complexion with freckles, light hair, grey eyes, his left eye was partly closed, he had sandy whiskers, his breast and arms were freckled, and he was disabled in both feet. His 'trade or calling' was recorded as Labourer.

Note

The documentation surrounding James' conviction and death is not consistent with respect to his age. It is therefore possible that the James concerned is not in fact this man, the son of John and Elizabeth.
