Research There are some differing views on this one. CWA and the Midwest Death Register have him dying in Geraldton in 1869. However the Midwest Convict Register does not record him as spending any time in the Mid West. This possibly reflects a more current view.

East Perth cemetery database does not record the John Hennessey who died in 1897 as a convict but Barbara Sewells analysis in "Ramilles" is compelling so we have gone with it.4,5
