Biographies
Henry Alcock was baptised on the 25th September 1803 at Redditch, Worcestershire of parents Thomas and Martha Alcock. He married Sarah Sealey on the 19 September 1831 at Feckenham, Worcestershire. He was arrested for sheep stealing along with a John Ball a labourer. Henry was a needle maker with a wife and 4 children. They stole some ewe sheep the property of Susannah Vincent. At the Michaelmass quarter sessions in Worcester on 14 Oct 1839 he was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years. He was received from Worcester gaol on 30 October 1839 and sent to the hulk ‘Ganymede’ at Woolwich to await transportation. He departed on the ‘Maitland’ on 9 March 1840 bound for New South Wales, Australia.(I thought the Ganymede was broken up in 1838? so he may have been on one of the other hulks such as the Justitia.)
