Descendants of John OGLE and Rosanna HUGHES
Introduction:
although the Ogle family are not directly related to me, John Ogle's son, Joseph married a sister of my ancestors, Eliza GLARE (1834-1893), and for completeness, I have devoted a page to the Ogle family.
John OGLE (1802-1877) of Felton, Northumberland was transported to Tasmania on the convict ship Layton, arriving 01 Sept. 1841 and spent time on Slopen island and Brickendon. He had been convicted of two offences - one for stealing six pounds worth of bacon and a sheet, and another for stealing ladies clothes. He got 7 yrs on each account and was lucky he didn't get more for attempting to escape. In 1840 (?), he was accommodated on the convict hulk Warrior - interestingly, my ancestor (and Eliza Glare's ancestor), Lt.Peter Mills was a midshipman on this ship in 1804 well before it became a convict hulk.
John OGLE's parents were:
John OGLE
Jane DOXFORD (c1775-) of Tynemouth, Northumberland, daughter of John DOXFORD and Mary GRAY (source: Kathy Page (Glover) who is descended from Helen Allan.)
John married Rosanna HUGHES (appears to have been born in Scotland c1806/07) who arrived in Tasmania at aged 42yrs with her 5 children in 1849.
Rosanna was recorded as living at 49 Bondgate, Alnwick, England.
John died in Koroit, near Port Fairy, Victoria.
The family moved to Port Fairy, Victoria.
Their daughter Jane married Alexander ALLAN, a convict who had been transported to Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania).
both Alexander ALLAN and David TEMPLE used to scavenge timber from shipwrecks on the beach and may have seen the "Mahogany" ship. Perhaps they were responsible for its disappearance!

Their son Joseph married Eliza GLARE, a daughter of a convict who also was transported to Tasmania and who also moved to Port Fairy in late 1840's or early 1850's - perhaps the two convicts knew each other in Tasmania?
one of Joseph's daughters was named Doxford perhaps after Doxford Hall and farm which were close to Alnwick in England.
