Bright ideas about Richard Hogg please

[Merry]

In The Standard in Dec 1836 it mentions he also had an illegitimate child, so that might be the third one.

Oh, there are more links to click on to find other information about him (on the Tasmanian Archives website):

Looking at FamilySearch, there are a few Richard Hoggs baptised in Yorkshire around the right time.

The son convicted with Richard was John Thomas Hogg. Thomas (Purvis) was his father-in-law and there were no Johns in that family, so maybe John was his father's name?

Some records suggest JT Hogg had a wife Ann and three children left behind in London.

[Merry]

Two of them....


Sophia Hogg
27 Jan 1836 John Thomas Hogg,
Anna Hogg Southwark Christ Church Southwark - father letter carrier

Emily Charlotte Hogg
27 Jun 1838 John Thomas Hogg,
Anna Hogg Walworth St John the Evangelist Southwark - ditto

These children are on the 1841 census with a 20 year old Ann Hogg listed in the next household.

Sorry, I didn't realise that Richard's son John Thomas Hogg was convicted with him. John Thomas was transported to Tasmania on the "Hindostan" in 1840-1 and was granted a ticket of leave in 1849. Then he married a Lydia Farmer in 1853 in Hobart, Tasmania. Looks like Lydia was also a convict as there is a Lydia Farmer transported in 1845.

Here is the 1855 Richard Hogg's death registration on FamilySearch:

Thanks for that, Kate.

I can see Richard Hogg and his family are going to keep me busy for ages. I think it may turn out to be very tricky to discover how he fits into the Hogg tree, though I do know they moved about all over the place, so his being born in Yorkshire is not going to stop him being part of the wider Hogg family.

What's such a shame for these people is that it's likely either Richard or perhaps his surviving children would probably have come into a £1,000 inheritance from the children's great-uncle, Reynold Hogg, if he had either died earlier (he died 1843 aged 93) or if they had been well behaved until his death.

I've just found the marriage of JT Hogg to Anna Norman at St Ann's Soho in 1834 on fmp. The marriage was witnessed by Richard Hogg (not great handwriting for an ex-schoolmaster) and Richard's sister-in-law, Sophia Purvis.

At the 1840 trial JTH's sister in law, Miss Maria Norman, was a prosecution witness - JTH had got her to unknowingly do some money laundering for him.
