Biographies
Alexander Richard Taylor's father's name was Alexander Taylor and his mother was Mary Hannan, unsure where they born, but would have been circa 1785. They could have been from Scotland and emigrated to Suriname where their son was born, but I have been unable to find out anything more about his parents at this stage.
Alexander was deported from England, he was a seaman, so maybe he was in Devon when he was convicted of a crime and sent to Australia. He travelled to New South Wales on the Bengal Merchant departing on the 27th September 1834 arriving in Sydney on 30th January 1835. I have been unable to find out what crime he oommitted. He received his Certificate of Freedom on 26 July 1841.
