    Notes 
    • John Showler John Showler, one of 185 convicts transported on the Countess of Harcourt, 29 April 1828 Bucks. Quarter Sessions 29th April, 1828 NSW

      His death certificate stated that he was 42 (making him born around 1816), that he was from Ayelsbury and that he had been in the colony for 26 years, making his arrival to be about 1832 and aged just 16. The surname Shoulders does not appear in Buckinghamshire, but the variant surnames of Shouldar, Showler, Shouler, Shouldar to name just a few do. From checking the convict indents at the library this morning, both John & Thomas were from Aylesbury and on Thomas' indent, it stated that he had a 'cousin John' already in NSW for 3 years.

      SHOWLER John Countess of Harcourt 1828 40/0846 15 May 1840 Certificate of Freedom [4/4358; Reel 1006] TL 33/758

      SHOWLER John Countess of Harcourt 1828 33/758 Ticket of Leave [4/4090; Reel 920] District: Inverary; Tried: Bucks QS

      ¨SHOWLER Thomas Georgiana 1831 38/1157 Ticket of Leave [4/4121; Reel 930] District: Goulburn; Born: Bucks; Trade: Ploughs; Tried: Bucks QS

      ¨SHOWLER Thomas Georgiana 1831 49/0225 11 May 1849 Certificate of Freedom [4/4412; Reel 1026] TL 39/1157

      Further research on Ancestry, (UK, Prison Hulk Registers and Letter Books, 1802-1849) for John Showler and find that he was tried at Ayblesbury Buckinghamshire on the 15th January 1828 for stealing bacon, pork. Another record shows that John was 21 and that he is listed as being in custody before and of 'bad character'. The prison hulk register says that he was aged 21 in 1828, but the NSW convict indent lists him as only 20. This would make John Showler to be born around 1807. I'm not certain yet, whether the convict John Showler is the same person as John Shoulders, considering the difference in age between the two It would be easy if we knew the names of John's parents. A quick look at the NSW indexes, finds no deaths or marriages to a John Showler (or Shouler) after his arrival.
