Conditional PardonHis Conditional Pardon was granted on 8 August 1859 at Western Australia.1 
Cert. of FreedomHis Certificate of Freedom was granted on 12 August 1863 at Western Australia.1 
Research There is some uncertainy between this man and James Taylor #987 who arrived on the Marion.

CWA and some trees on Ancestry and convict notes in other places suggest that #987 married Elizabeth Weldon and died in Victoria Plains in 1897.

It appears more likely that this man (#2788) was the husband of Elizabeth Weldon and it was him who was murdered by his son in 1878.

- This man was CE and #987 was RC
- The death registration has him born approx 1828 which fits this man but is out by 20 years for #987
- Ths man received permission to marry in Dec 1854

We have removed the middle name "Samuel" from 987 as we can't find a reference for the middle name for either man.

If we learn more we will make adjustments.
