Biographies


Phoebe Hines. Born in 1786. Bapt. 17 November 1786, All Saints, West Bromich, Birmingham, Warwickshire.
Phoebe married James Richards. The marriage record is dated 5h May 1911. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGD2-N219 James was aged 21yeas and Phoebe 19years.

Their son named James was born 1813, baptised 2nd November 1813, St Phillips, Birmingham. If I have the correct record, James Richards (Snr) born abt. 1789, died 1816. Burial at Deretend, Birmingham, 17 September 1816. See https://www.familysearch.org/ England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991.

Phoebe made her debut in court alongside her sister Catherine in 1807. Both were accused of larceny, and both discharged by proclamation. In 1813 Phoebe was sent to prison for one year, for larceny. Her pilfering ways finally caught up with her and in 1815 she was again convicted of larceny. This time to the value of the 40s in a dwelling house. Phoebe gained the death sentence, converted to transportation, fourteen years.

The Sheriff’s Cravings and Goaders’ Bills, 1813 and 1815 list Phoebe at Warwick Gaol. On 22 July 1817 Phoebe’s was transferred to the ship ‘Lord Melville’ Her son James Hines (Richards) travelled with her on the ‘Lord Melville’.

Phoebe is the only one of the four Hines sisters to re-offend after arriving in Australia. The 1822 NSW Musters On 1822 musters Phoebe is listed as the wife of William Price, also listed is her son James 7yrs, and daughters Eliza 5yrs and Ann 2yrs. Do not know if Price is their father.

Between 1825 and 1834 Phoebe gained two Tickets of Leave and a Certificate of Freedom. She lost all three due to her drunk and disorderly ways and sent to the Parramatta Women’s Factory for one year. She later became involved in an argument with neighbours and stabbed one them. This action resulted in her transportation to the secondary penal station at Moreton Bay Gaol, Queensland, on 19th July 1834, for three years. According to the Queensland prison register, archives.qld.gov.au Phoebe then returns ‘To Sydney 26 Aug 1837’. From this date, Phoebe, and her two daughters Eliza (b.1817) and Ann (b.1819) Hines/Price have also blended into obscurity.

We have such a confusing family of ancestors. NOW, with help from another researcher, I find that Eliza and Ann are listed on the NSW BMD as daughters of Phoebe’s sister Maria Haywood and her husband James. Haywood Eliza Reg No. 6496/1822 V 18226494 1B Haywood Ann Reg No. 6493/1820 V 18206493 1B Not surprising that the Haywoods took them in as they took in Phoebe’s son James. It's strange that the girls are ‘registered’ as Haywoods?? I see this as an informal adoption.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Son of Phoebe Hines and James Richards, born 1813 in Warwickshire, England, married three times and had four sons and six daughters. One wife was Lucy. A. Hadley, 1839, in Sydney He died on November 10, 1885, in New South Wales, Australia, at the age of 70, and was buried in St Peters, New South Wales, Australia.

I am a direct descendant of John Riley and Catherine Hines Lattimore, down though their son John, to Edward(1), Edward (2), Amos Bede Riley, and Don Wm Riley.

The HINES Story: Four sisters from Warwickshire came to Australia as convicts. Martha Hines born 1785, Phoebe Hines born 1786, Mariah Hines born 1789, and Catherine Hines (aka Lattimore) born 1792 were three of seven children born to William and Dinah Hines in Birmingham, Warwickshire. The other two children were William (b.1795) and Nancy (born & did 26 December 1799). It is rumoured that William Hines (Snr) spent a few months in gaol for theft and that his son William Hines (Jnr) came out as convict too, but I have not yet found the proof that the William listed is ours.
