John Agnew was probably born in MIddletown, County Armagh, the place where he is said to have come from and worked as a blacksmith prior to conviction.
On 3 March 1845 John was imprisoned in Enniskillen and found guilty of the crime of larceny. His sentence was seven years transportation[1].
No records have been found for John Agnew being transported to Australia - it is possible he was sent to the Caribbean instead.
Hi, I have had to give up ownership of this profile due to pressures on my watchlist, but I would be very interested to hear from anyone who knows about John Agnew and his fate post conviction. Thanks!
