Bio You can find some information about him here (treat with caution as it may not be correct) Australian Convict Records
Research The Bicentennial team appear to have mixed Judd Towler (convict 9897 who received a free pardon 4 days after arriving in WA) with Thomas Towler who married Emily Cousins in Toodyay in 1886. Based on current evidence we lean towards Judd returning to England and Thomas being a different person.
