Thomas Darlison (son of Robert Darlison and Sarah Warrant) was born 1804 in Bedworth, Warwickshire, and died 1866 in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia. He married (1) Mary Hadden on 25 Sep 1825 in Bedworth, Warwickshire, England. He married (2) Bridget Hayes on 07 Aug 1846 in St Peter & St Paul's RC Church, Goulburn, NSW, Australia.
Notes for Thomas Darlison: "From the BEDWORTH ECHO', Thursday, December 19th, 1991 - 9
Lawrence Fretwell tells the tragic tale that befell the local community 163 years ago.
Four Collycroft Poachers transported to Australia - for shooting Christmas pheasants in Dugdale's woods at Merevale
ONE hundred and sixty three years ago today (Thursday), a gang of poachers, four from Collycroft and the rest from Nuneaton, went in search of game on the Dugdale Estate at Atherstone . Perhaps their motives were personal gain - or could they have been looking for pheasants to supplement their Christmas fare.
Whatever the case, they were caught and charged with poaching and shooting with intent to murder. They escaped the gallows, but were transported to Botany Bay, Australia, for seven years and never came back. In the early part of the 1800's, the traditional method of preserving the King's peace, by the use of unpaid constables acting under a Justice of the Peace, was proving inadequate even though in towns the system was supplemented by salaried watchmen and in London by the Bow Street Runners. In 1829, the Member of Parliament for Tamworth, Robert Peel, introduced the Metropolitan Police Act, which established a single police force in the London area. However, here in North Warwickshire in that year, the King's peace was still maintained by unpaid constables. This task was far from easy, at a time when almost every man in England had his own gun. One case which highlights this was reported in the Warwick Recorder on April the 13th,1829. On April 11th that year,11 men - four of whom were from Collycroft and the rest from Nuneaton - were charged at Warwick Crown Court with poaching and shooting with intent to murder. These 11 men were Joseph Warren, John Mogford, William Ireland, Thomas Darlistone, Henry White, John White, David White, James White, John Squelch, John Mellor and William Goldby. All 11 had been part of a gang of 12 men who had committed the offence. One of the gang, Joseph Cross, who came from Chilvers Coton, had turned King's evidence and was granted immunity from prosecution. All of the 11 accused pleaded 'Not Guilty'. Joseph Cross, who had turned King's Evidence, told the court that he knew all of the prisoners. It was noted by the court that while Joseph Cross was a man of 53 years old, all of the accused were young men in their teens, 20's or 30's. Cross told the court: "We met at Thomas White's house between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock on the evening of December 19th. "It was there that we decided to go to Mr Dugdale's woods to shoot pheasants." Warren, Mogford, Squelch and the White brothers all had guns, Ireland had a pistol . "We left White's house some time after and separated but we agreed to meet up again at Gent's Barn". It is worth noting that in those days the area between Bedworth, Nuneaton and Merevale, near Atherstone, was all open countryside. There was a large manor house at Whittleford, another at Camp Hill and, of course, there was Ansley Hall, but all of these stood in miles of open countryside. Merevale Hall at that time had not been built. Cross continued: "After meeting up again we went into the Outwoods. By this time, it was well after 12 and we entered Merevale Woods by one o'clock." "There we came face to face with three keepers . Those in front called 'form a line' and we got together and blocked the keepers' path. " "After swearing at the keepers, we told them to 'Cut! Be gone!' "The keepers made off with us after them." "When we got to the Stone Pits, a gun was fired at the keepers to make them run away faster." "Soon after another gun was struck down, but only the cap fired. The powder in the barrel did not go off." "We pursued them up the field with Mellor, Warren and Ireland in front." "There were another two shots fired. Warren fired the last shot.". "We saw no more of the keepers. We killed seven pheasants." "We made our way back to Gent' s Barn where we finally separated." The next witness was William Yardley who together with his brother James Yardley and Thomas Smith were employed by Robert Hood, the Head Gamekeeper for Mr D.S. Dugdale, of Blyth Hall. Yardley stated that they had no guns on them and only carried sticks. He continued: " We passed through the Park into the Outwoods where we met several poachers armed with guns." "The poachers came up to us and said 'You bloody swines . What brings you here? You bloody well be off, or we'll give you something. Cut! Be off! " "They pointed their guns at us. One of the poachers stepped sideways and pointed his gun at my breast when only two yards from me. He was a short man, that could have been Warren, but I am not sure." "My brother Jim said: 'Don't hurt us, lads, and we'll go back.' "We went back and then we heard one of the poachers say, 'Damn their eyes, don't let them go off that way, put something into them." "We quickened our pace and the poachers followed. When we got to the Stone Pits, I heard a copper-capped gun struck down but the gun did not go off." "As we entered the open field I heard another go off and then two more. We were about 40 to 50 yards away from them poachers." "Robert Hood, the Head Keeper, came up a nd the poachers fired at him." "Warren was like the man who shot at Mr Hood, but I cannot be sure." In the witness box, Robert Hood stated: "I heard some firing and saw my men running away." "I then found myself facing a poacher. I saw him put his gun to his shoulder . It seemed to point straight at me." "I heard the shot, saw the flash and at the time I was ducking under the branch of a tree." "The bullet hit the branch only inches from my face." Under cross-examination by the defence lawyer, Joseph Cross, who had turned King' s Evidence, stated that he was a tailor by trade. He continued: " We were two or three yards off the keepers when someone called 'Form a line." When asked by Mr Hill, the defence lawyer; "Have you received the reward yet?" Cross replied; "No. I don't know when the reward will be paid. The keepers are to talk to me on that business." Mr Hill then asked: "Have you been to prison three or four times?" Cross: "The two first times were for assault, the third was for some ducks that me and one of the White's had fetched." "What do you mean fetched?" "I mean stealing ." replied Cross to loud laughter from the court. "The fourth time was for throwing a net away and the keepers found it. I had three months for that, but that was three or four years ago. They said they put me away for safety." There was loud laughter in the court at this remark. "Did you get into trouble over a matter of perjury?" "Perjury! What's that?" Further laughter. "False swearing." "No. "Cross answered. "Don't you know that by giving this evidence you are saving your own neck?" "That would be a good thing," replied Cross. The next in the witness-box was William Vero who was the constable for the Atherstone district. He stated that he had been threatened by most of the poachers when he apprehended them and some had resisted arrest. He continued: "Darlistone said he would advise Mr Dugdale to be as easy with them as he could, or he must watch out. "David White had run away undressed but was found afterwards up the chimney." The Judge, in his summing-up, stated that all were young, hard-working men, who were well able to maintain themselves and their families and this fact alone prevented him giving them the ultimate capital sentence. All were transported for seven years.
The Warwick Recorder for April 13th, 1829, is housed in Warwick Records Office."
The magistrates were concerned there may be an attempted gaol break while the prisoners were awaiting transportation to Australia.
The magistrates of the County, apprehensive that mischief might arise by the place being left entirely without troops applied to the proper authorities for a military force. The request was complied with and on Saturday an express warrant after the troops of the 14th Dragoons which had left that morning. In consequence, Captain Smith’s troop returned to the city at 7 in the evening. When the soldiers arrived a considerable mob had collected and were entering the tradesman’s shops who sold provisions, and were selling them at their own prices. Some of the ring leaders being taken into custody, the rioting ceased. A detachment of the 93rd Highlanders marched into that place from Weedon on Sunday morning.
In the same newspaper:
Convicts
The following convicts have been removed from our County gaol this week and put on board ‘Justica’ Hulk at Woolwich; - For Life: - Joseph Warren, William Ireland, John Mogford, Thomas Darlistone and John Squelch for shooting at Mr Dugdale’s gamekeeper. Fourteen Years: - William Goldby, John Mellor, John White, Henry White, David White also for shooting at Mr Dugdale’s gamekeeper.
Mr Adkins, with that circumspection which enabled him for so many months to frustrate the various plots and contrivances to escape of nearly 100 of as desperate ruffians as ever congregated at one time within the walls of a prison, took the ten poachers on Tuesday through Southam. He knew the state of excitement that existed amongst the populace at Coventry, and that almost any pretext might have prompted them to mischief. A great number of the prisoners acquaintances who knew the day they were to be sent off, were expected to meet them at that place; and although he was not afraid of a rescue, we are convinced that he acted very wisely in avoiding that city; which, upon other occasions is the usual route.

The Layton sailed from London.
23 June 1829
The Layton sailed from Sheerness.
5 October 1829
Thomas Darlison arrived at Sydney Cove on the ship, Layton, Master Hurst. He was one of 188 male English convicts who were mustered on board the ship. Two convicts died during the voyage. In the Convict Indents, Red Tom was described as:
Age: 28 Education: Read and write Religion: Protestant Married: Family 1 Native Place: Warwick Trade or Calling: Ribbon weaver and wool comber Offence: Shooting to murder Tried: Warwick (Date 4 April 1829) Sentence: Transportation for Life, no former convictions Height: 5ft 9¾ins Complexion: Ruddy, freckled Colour of Hair: Sandy Eyes: Hazel Disposed of: N M Gore, at Artomon (North Shore) Distinguishing Marks: Horizontal scar over left eye Anchor tattoed on right arm
‘PD’ on upper on left arm
Small scar on right shin
Red Tom was assigned as an indentured labourer, convict, to N M Gore at Artomon (modern Atarmon) on Sydney’s North Shore. This area of Sydney is still known as the North Shore and was joined to Sydney Town by the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the 1930s.
10 May 1830
Thomas Darlison received 50 lashes for insubordination. N M Gore is described in the history of Sydney Cove as a particularly harsh master of convicts – being one himself. Gore Hill in Sydney today, on which stands several of the TV transmitting antennas for the City of Sydney, is named after him.
June 1830
Red Tom joined the employ of Captain Francis Nicholas Rossi. Rossi had been the Chief of Police of Sydney Town but appears to have been too honest and was removed by the influence of the remnants of Sydney’s notorious Rum Corps who were by then the establishment of Sydney Town. He was born in Corsica (Napoleon’s birthplace) which had been taken over by Britain at this stage. While he was a British citizen, he was still regarded as a foreigner (and French at that). He decided to become a farmer and take up residence at Goulburn, NSW.
Early 1837
Thomas Darlison applied for a mitigation of his sentence to the British Home Authorities through the interposition of a Member of the British Parliament, Lord John Russell.
11 February 1837
Lord John Russell wrote a reply and refused the petition of Thomas Darlison. He stated that "there is no ground to justify the Secretary of State in interfering with the exercise of the discretion reposed in the Governor of New South Wales, as to the recommendation of Convicts for a Remission of Sentence".
October 1837
The 1837 Muster of Convicts in the Colony of New South Wales lists Thomas Darlison aged 31 years working at Rossi’s property at Goulburn NSW.
11 February 1838
Thomas Darlison petitioned the NSW Colonial Secretary for mitigation of sentence. There is an attached letter from Captain Rossi saying that Darliston had been his servant since June 1830 and "during that period, his conduct has been very good and satisfactory".
19 February 1838
Thomas Darlison was granted a Ticket of Leave which stated he was "allowed to remain in the district of Goulburn on recommendation of Goulburn Branch, dated September 1837". A Ticket of Leave meant that he was no longer an indentured labourer to Captain Rossi. Red Tom had first been assigned to N M Gore in 1829 and then to Captain Rossi in 1830. He could now sell his labour to whomever he wished (although most convicts remained in the employ of their former master for some time). He was no longer required to live on the master’s property. However, he had to live in the magistrate’s district (ie Goulburn). When he marries in 1846, Red Tom gives his address as Rossiville, Captain Rossi’s property.
13 July 1838
The Governor and Commander in Chief of the Colony of New South Wales, Colonel Snodgrass, refused a petition which was a recommendation given by the Acting Governor of New South Wales to Home Government (Britain) "commending petitioner for the Indulgence prayed for; namely a mitigation of Rigid Sentence". Colonel Snodgrass said "I really do not see anything in this case to call for a special recommendation for mercy. He shall not be recommended for a conditional pardon until he has held a ticket of leave for six years".
4 October 1838
Thomas Darlison was granted a Ticket of Leave Passport allowing him to remain in the Lachlan District (West of Goulburn) in the employ of Captain Rossi for twelve months. A Ticket of Leave Passport was a document that allowed the convict holder to travel (usually for employment purposes) outside the jurisdiction of the local Magistrate where he was situated. In Thomas Darlison’s case, he was under the jurisdiction of the Goulburn Branch of the Magistrates. Oral family history has Red Tom as a bullock driver or bullocky driving a cart (dray) pulled by many cattle.
8 November 1840
The Ticket of Leave Passport was renewed and this allowed Thomas Darlison to remain in the Monaro District (South of Goulburn) in the service of Captain Rossi for twelve months.
9 April 1842
A Ticket of Leave Passport was again issued allowing Thomas Darlison to travel between Goulburn and Sydney as a carrier for twelve months for Captain Rossi. He moved Captain Rossi’s furniture from Sydney to Goulburn (to Rossiville) during this time.
20 April 1843
The Ticket of Leave Passport was renewed allowing Thomas Darlison to travel between Goulburn and Sydney as a carrier for twelve months.
27 February 1845
A petition was received for Thomas Darlison’s conditional pardon. This was a standard procedure after a certain time had elapsed from the granting of the Ticket of Leave and the convict had shown good behaviour.
13 August 1845
Thomas Darlison was conditionally pardoned. The Conditional Pardon is not a "Pardon" but a remission of remaining sentence. The condition was that the convict remained in the Colony of New South Wales until the expiration of the original sentence. As Red Tom’s sentence was Transportation for Life, he could never return to Britain. In most respects, he was now a free man. He could sell his labour, buy a farm, conduct a business, live where he liked. In Australian history, this was a contentious issue which split the Colony. The Emancipationists wanted the pardoned convicts to be ordinary members of society and have all citizen’s rights – having served their time. The free settlers, on the other hand, looked down on the ex-convicts and their families. They resented the loss of the cheap labour that the indentured labourer system had provided for the first half of the 19th Century. Britain debated the cessation of Transportation to the Colonies as a sentence around this time and the wealthy landowners saw a threat to their profitability. However, another more dramatic event was about to overshadow the Colony and produce the egalitarianism that characterizes Australia. This was the alluvial Gold Rushes of the 1850s where ex-convict, freeman and scoundrel all toiled alongside each other to dig the gold without regard for position or wealth. The structure of the Australian society was turned on its head during the ten years from 1851.
21 March 1844
Mary Darlison died in Bedworth aged 39.
24 March 1844
Mary Darlison was buried in Bedworth.
7 August 1846
Red Tom (Church of England) married Bridget Hayes (Roman Catholic) (widow of William Hickey) at Ss Peter and Paul’s Roman Catholic Cathedral in Goulburn NSW. As Red Tom was a convict, a special licence had to be obtained from the Principal Superintendent of Convicts in Sydney NSW and approval granted for the marriage. The witnesses were William & Catherine Hayes. All four people came from Rossiville – a large property a few kilometers west of Goulburn. The civil marriage registration and the church records show Thomas Darlison (not Darliston).
1 December 1846
Red Tom’s wife’s son, William Hickey, drowned at Cardross aged four. Cardross is a property on the Pomeroy Road between Goulburn and Kippilaw/Rosemount. William Hickey is buried at the old Goulburn Roman Catholic Cemetery Lagoon Street North Goulburn (near Mulwaree Ponds alongside the main road in from Sydney) in the same set of graves as his mother, Bridget Hayes/Hickey/Darliston (died 30 October 1893 aged 84 years), and other Darlistons.
17 June 1847
A daughter, Sarah Darliston, was born at Bacord near Maxton Park. Maxton Park is a property on the Pomeroy Road between Cardross and Goulburn.
18 July 1847
Sarah Darliston was baptized at Ss Peter & Paul’s Cathedral in Goulburn. William and Ellen Hayes were godparents.
25 October 1848
A son, John Darliston, was born at Bacord near Maxton Park.
23 January 1849
John Darliston was baptized at Ss Peter & Paul’s Cathedral in Goulburn. Patrick and Margaret Ryan were godparents.
19 July 1851
A son, Thomas Darliston, was born at Mummel.
4 August 1851
Thomas Darliston was baptized at Ss Peter & Paul’s Cathedral in Goulburn. Patrick Meanes and Johanna Cahill (nee Hayes) were godparents.
Early 1850s
Red Tom and his wife, Bridget, worked hard. Alluvial gold had been discovered in Australia in 1851 after miners returned from the California Gold Rush of 1849. This set off the Gold Rushes in the Colonies of NSW and Victoria. Gold was being found everywhere but the greatest fields were in central Victoria, Ballarat and Bendigo. Some way South from Goulburn lay the Ovens Gold Field. This was around the town of Beechworth in Northern Victoria just across the border from the Colony of New South Wales. This was a distance of approximately 400Km from Goulburn. Oral family history has Red Tom and Bridget capitalizing on their skills to grow fruit and vegetables, make jams and cheeses and to drive a bullock wagon. In Goulburn, Red Tom loaded up his bullock wagon with goods for sale including home produce and mining supplies (picks, ropes, etc). He walked beside his bullock wagon to the Ovens Gold Field over about a month, camping out as he went or staying in inns. He had previously carried out similar tasks for Captain Rossi round the Monaro and Lachlan Districts and to and from Sydney Town. Once at the Ovens Gold Field, we understand he sold the goods on the wagon, slaughtered half the bullocks to be sold as fresh meat and returned with an empty dray pulled by the better lead bullocks. He was paid in gold dust. There are many stories of encounters with bushrangers on the return trips. He hid the gold in several ways including false bottoms brazed into the grease cans that swung on the backboard of the dray and in oilskins inserted inside the grease of the axle joints. He shared meals with bushrangers but managed to convince them that he was a poor ex-convict. The trade that Red Tom and Bridget carried out was lucrative enough for them to build some solid houses in Goulburn township. We understand that these were sold to purchase the farms at Mummel.
1854
Thomas Darlison bought 600 acres at Mummel (part of Evansdale).
16 May 1855
Son, Thomas, died aged three years and ten months. Oral history is that he was burnt to death in a kitchen.
January 1860
Thomas Darlison bought another 300 acres at Mummel (now part of Rose Mount). Remainder of Rose Mount (to 500 acres) was later purchased by his son, John Darlison. Red Tom commenced building the family home on Rose Mount. This was built by ex-convicts in the style of the day. Local stone was quarried and made into thick walls with mortar between the stone. The outer and inner faces were rendered and then painted. The floors were dirt. Red Tom had grand ideas. There were three original buildings:
A low single storey bungalow for sitting rooms and bedrooms; A separate kitchen building; and A farm shed. These buildings were arranged around a square. The bungalow and kitchen were to be the servants’ quarters later when a grander two storey building was to be constructed at one side of the square. This building was never started.
9 September 1862
Red Tom’s surviving son in Bedworth, James Darlison, married Mary Marson. James was 34 (bachelor) and a weaver. Mary was 26 (spinster) and a throwster of Bedworth.
15 March 1866
Red Tom died of pneumonia after a month’s illness. He died on Rose Mount, one of his two properties, at Mummel about 15Km west of Goulburn. Oral family history is that he went swimming in the Wollondilly River which forms one boundary of the property and caught a chill while swimming one afternoon after undertaking strenuous farm work.
18 March 1866
Red Tom was buried in the Churchyard at Kippilaw Chapel. Kippilaw is the next farm to Rose Mount where he died. The Kinghornes and then the Chisholms (through marriage into Kinghorne family) owned Kippilaw. The Chapel is Church of England. There is a disparity in the size of the properties with Rose Mount being 500 acres and Kippilaw being much larger at approximately 2,000 acres. Kippilaw is a heritage property with many buildings including its own Chapel and churchyard. He has a headstone over his grave which reads "Thomas Darliston died 15.3.1866 aged 60".
14 July 1868
Sarah Darliston (daughter of Red Tom Darliston) married William Kennedy at Ss Peter & Paul’s Cathedral, Goulburn. Witnesses were Thomas McCormack and Bridget Hayes. They had 13 children:

On 19 December 1828, Tom Darlison was out poaching with 11 of his friends who were all from Coventry and Bedworth, on the estate of Sir William Dugdale at Merevale near Atherstone, and were caught. The other 11 were: Joseph Warren(alias Goldby) John Mogford(Mockford?) William Ireland(alias Catchall) John Squelch John Mellor William Goldby James White Henry White David White John White Joseph Cross
Joseph Cross, a tailor, was older than the others, and was approached by the head gamekeeper to give evidence. He did so, and was not tried although he had several previous convictions. Tom(known as Red Tom) had a ruddy complexion.. All 11 were in employment and all could read and write.
The trial took place at Warwick County Sessions and all 11 were found guilty of shooting with intent to murder. Sentences were passed on 2 April 1829. . Warren, Mogford, Darlistone, Ireland, and Squelch were sentenced to transportation for life, the remaining 6 for 14 years. There were riots after the trial of the 11 young men. Two regiments of soldiers had to be returned to Warwick to quell the rioters and a subterfuge undertaken in order that the citizens of Coventry did not ambush the party taking the 12 convicts to London. The prisoners were put on board the 'Justica' hulk at Woolwich. They sailed on the 'Layton' from London on 17 June 1829, arriving at Sydney Cove on 5 Oct 1829.
Red Tom usually used the name Darliston from this time. He was assigned as an indentured labourer convict to N M Gore at Artomon on Sydney's North Shore. Gore, an ex-convict himself, was known as a particularly harsh master of convicts, and Red Tom received 50 lashes for insubordination on 10 May 1830. The following month, Red Tom joined the employ of Captain Rossi, former Chief of Police of Sydney Town.
He married Bridgette Hayes, an Irish widow, in 1846 and started a family in Australia settling in Goulburn, NSW where he did well in the gold rushes of 1851-1860. He ended up with 2 farms.
