                                GEORGE FULLICK

 

                        

Unfortunately there are no photographs of the convicts but thanks to the detailed physical  descriptions contained in the convict documents of the time, we are able to build up a picture of what they looked like.
The younger George was the son of Henry Fullick and Sarah Groves and ,according to prison and convict records, he was married though who to is still to be confirmed.  George was sent out to the emerging colony of Western Australia aboard the ship William Hammond, arriving in Perth on the 29th March 1856.  He had received a sentence of 20years for the manslaughter of John Barron and had previously been convicted of poaching. Prior to his departure on the William Hammond, George was held on the prison hulk Defence.   The Defence character book shows his behaviour as being Good and confirms that he  had a previous conviction for poaching for which he received a 3months prison sentence.
