Charles Parker

Description

Life Story

In June 1859, electors requested that Benjamin Cribb Esquire agree to being nominated for the Reform Parliament. A man named Charles Parker was on the list of electors.

In 1863, a Charles Parker stole a saddle from William Berry and was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment with hard labour. Chief Constable Edward Quinn had known the prisoner for approximately four years and said that Charles Parker, first came to Ipswich as a ticket-of-leave holder, and had since been twice convicted of larceny.

A man by the name of Charles Parker died on 8th July 1888 at Bundanba (Bundamba) after an accident on the 6th July. At the time he was working for Nathaniel Watson. Residents of Upper Bundanba knew him well, as he had lived in that area for over twenty years. Is this Charles Parker, the same man that Chief Constable Quinn referred to as being a ticket-of-leave man?
