TILLEY FAMILY
From Sussex England
This page is a work
in progress, if you find mistakes
or would like to add information
about any member of the Tilley
family please contact me.
Information on the
Tilley family is from my own
research & information shared with
me by Marg Andrews, Debbie Van Corlor
and David Cripps.
John Tilley 1755
& Charlotte Boxall
Born: JOHN
TILLEY baptised 10 Oct 1756 St
Peters Lodsworth in
Sussex, England, possibly the son
of John Tilley who died 1790 Lodsworth Sussex.
Marriage: John married CHARLOTTE
BOXALL on 24th July 1781 in
Lodsworth England, Witnesses John
Shepherd & John Goodner.
Wife Born: Charlotte was baptised
17 June 1764 St Peters in Sussex,
the daughter of Edward Boxall &
Ann Baker (m. 29 Nov 1742
Woolbeding)
Life of Crime: John
Tilley and several of his children
faced criminal charges and
sentences as thieves and thugs.
Was this a bad streak born and
bred into them? I'd like to think
their behaviour was the result of
the desperate need to survive in
the poor conditions of England
during these early times. .
Offence
3rd Dec. 1806:
John was
charge of being a *rogue &
vagabond he was committed of
this offence by I. Napper.
* A
vagabond is a (generally
impoverished)
itinerant
person. Such people may be called
tramps,
rogues,
or
hobos.
A vagabond is characterized by
almost continuous travelling,
lacking a fixed
home,
temporary
abode,
or
permanent
residence.
Vagabonds are not
bums,
as bums are not known for
traveling but preferring to stay
in one location
Death: Charlotte died
c.1846 Midhurst District Sussex
Death: John died c.1850 Midhurst Sussex England.

persuade you, before you mentioned
the prisoners names -

1831: Death of
Edward: 8th May 1831
D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Hobart, result of
drowning. Edwards death was noted in an artical in the
"Courier" newspaper
dated 14/5/1831, page 3, column 3.
D'Entrecasteaux's Channel called
Three Hut Point,
became
important for shipping between
Hobart and the coastal bases of
whalers, sealers and
timber-getters further south.
Below is an extract from the
article made by David Cripps:
Besides Mr Tilley, the owner,
there were in the boat Mr J.
Leyson, (who came to the colony
second officer of the Sarah, Capt
King), 3 of Tilley's labourers,
namely, Joseph James, John Perry
and John Dale, a female named Ann
Harwood, and a lad whose name we
have not been able to learn, who
arrived lately by the Southworth".
"Soon after the vessel had entered
the channel, when she was about
two miles from the shore, squall
overtook her, and from fatal
neglect in not letting go the
foresheet at the approach of the
squall, she was driven on her beam
ends, and every one on board
thrown on the mercy of the waves".
"All, however, except the female
who sunk with the schooner, and
Leyson, succeeded in getting into
a small boat which was towing at
the stern of the other, but
distressing to relate, owing to
the rope which made it fast not
being cut or disentangled in time,
the boat also was dragged to the
bottom when the other vessel
sunk". "All who were able to swim
then tried to make towards the
shore, but none, it appears,
succeeded in arriving at it,
except Leyson alone, who making
the land much exhausted near Mr
Kelly's farm, was kindly recruited
by that gentleman's servants and
also by Mr Pybus who sent him up
in his boat to town, where he made
the sad recital to the above
effect before the Chief Police
Magistrate".
1831
Owner-Master of a Trading Scooner:
Infomation from book

Tilley seems to have had a defacto
relationship with John Tilley
(Edward's brother) after her
husband's death in 1831, John &
Ann had a daughter Rosanna Mary.

Obituary:
Mercury
Newspaper 29 Oct 1855 Hobart,
Tasmania Local Intelligence:
Fatal Whaling
Accident - Mr George Chase, who
left this port about 5 weeks ago,
in the Highlander, for the Whale
Fishery arrived in town on
Thursday evening with the
melancholy intelligence of the
loss of three lives on Port Davey
on Sunday last, (yesterday week).
The boat, manned with six men had
made fast to a Black Fish, when by
some derangement of the line, the
boat went down, when Mr. Tilley,
young Mr Robert Jeffries, and a
seaman whose name is not at
present known, were unfortunately
drowned. The boat we understand
was no great distance from the
vessel, and we need not add that
Captain Chase and his crew
rendered every and most prompt
assistance, but succeeded in
rescuing only three of the men.
Mr. Tilley, who was son-in-law to
Mr. James Wiggins of this City has
left a Widow and 5 young children,
and young Jeffries was much
respected by many friends".
