William Hulin

 

William Hulin was born in 1810 in St Briavels where he worked as a labourer. At the age of 22, on 13 Oct 1832, he was convicted of the theft of a gander valued at 3 shillings, the property of John Burton, and sentenced to be transported of 7 years. He had been discharged from court on two occasions before having been found not guilty or no evidence presented.  After a spell on a hulk, he was transferred to the Asia I which set sail for New South Wales on 4 February 1833 and arrived in Australia on 27 June 1833.

Hulin married Mary Donohoe, also a convict, on 21 April 1840 in Maitland, and went on to have five children. Donohoe was born in County Donegal Ireland somewhere between 1814/7 and was transported on the Margaret (2) arriving in New South Wales on 5 January 1839.

William Hulin died on 19 February 1877 in Singleton.

Hi Ian the information about Mary is incorrect. She was a convict born in County Donegal Ireland somewhere between 1814/7 and was transported on the Margaret (2) arriving in Port Jackson on 5 January 1839. She never went to Van Dieman’s Land.
