*Came to Australia
On arrival in Australia, while still on board the convict ship, Lord
Melville, Sam volunteered to join the Mounted Police. This was on 21st
October, 1830. On 13-12-1835, Samuel Caldwell (although R.C.) married
Isabella Spence at the C.of E. Church, Maitland. Isabella's parents
were William Spence, a soldier of the 71st Regiment and Ellen Down(e)s.
He was stationed at Limerick, Ireland for a period of time. Ellen was
baptised 1819 at Limerick. James was baptised 11-12-1821, Limerick.
John baptised 8-7-1823 at Limerick. It is not known if Ellen Downs was
Irish or not. When they came to Australia on board the ship "Mail" in
1832 they departed from Scotland and it is thought the Spences were
Scotch. Anyone who has any connection or knowledge of this family,
please contact me.
