JOHN FREDERICK PYE

John Pye, a bootmaker, transported for fourteen years for stealing 20 pounds from his father. His accomplice, Robert Gayton, came on the same ship. He was sentenced at the Norfolk Quarter Sessions on 25 March 1836, and embarked on the Sarah on 22 December 1836, and arrived in Hobart on 29 March 1837.  

 He left behind a wife, Harriett, in Kempton Street , London . His record shows that he behaved himself very well on board, and in the colony, and was given his Freedom Certificate on 25 September 1851.  

John was a shoemaker, aged 24, from Norwich . He stood 5 feet 2 inches tall, and had a fair complexion, light brown hair, blue eyes, and no whiskers. After gaining his freedom, John took up his trade, and married Eliza Blackhall the next year.
