Runnymede - arrived in WA in 1856 SOURCES

This 720 ton ship was built in Sunderland in 1854. It was employed as a convict transport for Western Australia and left Plymouth, England on June 15, 1856 bound for the Swan River Colony. She carried the seventeenth of 37 shipments of male convicts destined for Western Australia. The voyage took 84 days and the Runnymede arrived in Fremantle on September 7, 1856 with 89 passengers and 248 convicts [Erickson]. William Burrows and Henry Edmonds were the captain and surgeon respectively.

There were no deaths recorded on the convict shipping and description lists and 248 convict numbers were assigned for the voyage ranging from (3983 to 4230).

Of the 89 passengers mentioned above, all 89 were pensioner guards and their families, the number being made up of 30 pensioner guards, 19 wives, 18 sons and 22 daughters.

The following list is an alphabetically sorted list of the names associated with each of the 248 convict numbers assigned to this voyage. The comments field gives alternative names attributed to the various convicts, many of which are not only spelling variations, but alternative names used in later life or in subsequent re-convictions. The age quoted seems to refer to the age of the convict when he was taken to trial.

NOTE:
Another list detailing the physical appearance of the convicts has been transcribed for this voyage of the Runnymede. It can be viewed here or by following the links to Physical Description on the list below. Similar lists for the other 42 voyages to Western Australia are being added as time permits.
