Wolverhampton; Lock maker; born Horslefield Wolverhampton
deserted at Sydney on 21.11.1866. Remarks - pockpitted.
- He seemed to have disappeared, and I don't think
he ever came back to the UK. On your site you have
listed Frederick Kimpton, (of the right age and enlisting
in the 1st/50th Regt in Wolverhampton), as a deserter in
1866.
One of his sisters, Charlotte, was transported for theft
in 1845 and later settled in Victoria, so perhaps her
brother Frederick wanted to try to find her.
Interestingly, the physical description of Charlotte,
recorded when she arrived in Tasmania, is almost
identical to that of the Frederick Kimpton you have
listed.
One of Charlotte's descendants still lives in Victoria
