| Further Information | Discharge due to length of service Edward Anderson died from chocking on a piece of bone while eating his dinner at Hyde’s public house in Murray Street Perth As he died so soon after his arrival we have had difficulties identifying this man or adding anything to his profile. When the Hashemy was chartered as a convict transport in 1850 its destination was Van Diemen’s Land but due to the strong anti-transportation movement in the Eastern states it was decided to send it to Western Australia where transportation was still acceptable. As a result the WO 23s still have the pensioners located in VDL in 1851 instead of Western Australia. |
