William HUBBARD¹ was born c. 1768 in Kingston, Hertfordshire, England. He was a Convict. Plasterer, Constable.^{2 2} He married Mary ATKINSON Goulding on 19 Dec 1790 in St. John's Church of England, Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia.¹ He died on 18 May 1843 in Benevolent Asylum, Sydney, NSW.¹

"Convict Details Name: Hubbard, First Name: William, Age leaving England aged 19. Sex: Male, Date of Death: 18th May 1843. Trial Place: Kingston upon Thames, Surrey. Date of Crime: 3rd February 1784. Crime: Stealing a bed sheet. Sentence:

Transportation to Australia - 7 yrs. Occupation: Plasterer. Ship of transportation " Scarborough". Notes on Crime: Partner in the original crime was William Boggis. There are obvious problems of confusion with the other convict William Hubbard in

the NSW Colony records - these men are differentiated by their literacy.

William Hubbard was a convict on board the "Scarborough", he had been convicted of theft in London and was originally set for transportation to America, as had all convict up to this time, the intervention of the American War of Independence

changed this and a new penal settlement was needed, the new destination was Australia. He became part of the First Fleet, headed by Captain Arthur Phillip, to Sidney Town, Port Jackson, New South Wales. William was a plasterer by trade and must

have shown some reliability or contrition as he was soon selected by Governor Phillip to be part of the Night Watch. This body was set up to assist the military in keeping order in the new settlement and was in effect, Australia's first police

force. A paper signed by Governor Arthur Phillip in 1789, naming William Hubbard, the ex-con, as a founding member of the Night Watch. One of the problems facing the new settlement was the lack of females and Governor Phillip and others considered

it essential that more women be brought to the colony to encourage the male convicts to marry and settle down from their riotous ways. On the 6th June 1790 the Lady Juliana dropped anchor in Sydney Cove, the first vessel of the Second Fleet to

reach Sydney Cove. On board were 222 female convicts and their children and among them was Mary

2

Atkinson, also known as Mary Goulding, who had been transported for 7 years for theft stealing four yards of printed cotton.

Within six months William Hubbard and Mary Goulding were married on the 19th December 1790 at Rose Hill in Sydney, they were married by Reverend Richard Johnson, the Colony's first Chaplain. They were soon considered model citizens of the new and

growing colony.

From a First Fleet Convict who married a female convict of the Second Fleet, In Australian Genealogy, that is like royalty!

As you may be aware the Lady Juliana has been described in recent studies as a floating brothel owing to the large number of London prostitutes on board and also because of the behaviour of the woman on the long voyage. They entertained men at

each port they visited as well as becoming "wives" to the seamen manning the vessel. Even if William had known Mary Goulding from the day of her landing in June to their marriage in December 1790, he most certainly was not the father of her first

child, who was born the same December of 1790, most certainly Mary would have conceived on the voyage from London."
