About Frederick Augustus Morgan

Mount Morgan, Historic Township: "The Morgan Brothers"; part article.

Frederick Morgan (snr);

...On the 28th February 1825, he was arrested for stealing a length of cloth from a tailor's shop owned by George Samuel Blunt of Popham Terrace, Islington. On the 7th April 1825, he appeared before Justice Park in London's Old Bailey on the stealing charge. The 17 year old was found guilty and sentenced to death with a recommendation for mercy, because his parents were industrious. The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment with transportation to Australia. He was transported to Australia on the "Marquis of Hastings", leaving Portsmouth on the 24th August 1825, arriving in Sydney Town, Australia on the 3rd January, 1826.

On arrival at Sydney Town, he was assigned as a tailor to David Smith, tailor of O'Connell Street, Sydney N.S.W. It appears he remained in Smith's employment for 12 years until he was removed by the authorities in 1838.

Apparently, he left Sydney in 1838 and went to live at Bathurst, N.S.W. He received a Ticket of Leave, issued at Bathurst on the 1st May 1839 which bore the endorsement "allowed to remain in the District of Bathurst...December, 1836". His "Conditional Pardon" was approved by the Queen on the 12th August 1846. It contained the condition that he should never return to England.

In 1836, he met Emma Martha Woodward and a relationship developed, their first child (Frederick Augustus Morgan) being born in Sydney on the 2nd June 1837. Emma, her mother and Emma's two brothers arrived in Sydney on the 7th April 1827 as "free immigrants" on the "Elizabeth". The couple were married on the 24th April 1851 at Bathurst, four months before their eighth child was born. They eventually had sixteen (16) children altogether (snip).
