Notes:

(Research): Richard Emblin, was a labourer and coal hauler, who could neither read nor write. He married Jane Chivers, at Stoke Lane Somerset when he was 19. They had one child; Elizabeth Anne Emblin.
That same year, Richard was first convicted for assault and felony. In 1843 he was again found guilty of stealing hay and sentenced to six months, "two separate weeks thereof in solitary confinement". These earlier convictions were taken into account when, at age 22, on 26 October 1846, at the City of Wells Court sessions, he was given a 10 year sentence and to be "transported beyond the Seas" for stealing two donkeys. Apparently after stealing the animals in Somerset, Richard and his accomplices sold them in Dorset, claiming that they needed the money to buy a horse and cart to transport coal. As Richard had been seen in the area shortly before the animals had been taken, the authorities put two and two together and he was arrested together with his brother-in-law, Joseph Chivers. We have excellent copies of the court records including the witnesses' statements.
Although they went to jail immediately after conviction it was not until 5 years later that Richard and Joseph (who had been sentenced to 15 years) were deported to Tasmania, respectively departing England 25 February and 19 September 1851; Richard on the convict ship "Cornwall", from Portsmouth, arriving in Van Diemen's Land, 11 June 1851, Joseph on the "Rodney" arriving Hobart on 20 December 1851.
We do not know much about what happened to them in Australia but Richard's conduct record there shows he committed a number of further offences resulting in his sentence being prolonged until 24 March 1857.when he was conditionally pardoned. Joseph received a conditional pardon on 28 May 1855 and on 4 May 1863 married Many Anne Stonnell in Oatlands (north of Hobart). Unfortunately, Richard was not a witness, as they seemed to be living in different parts of Tasmania.
It looks as if Richard also might have married in Australia, but that too is the subject of further research. However, the Tasmanian Federation Index does list a Richard Embling who died at a charitable institution on 29 January 1901. His birth year was shown as 1817 which would be an approximation.
Jane is due some sympathy as she had both her husband and a brother taken from her simultaneously. At the 1861 census, 16 years after Richard went to jail, she was listed, as a Lodger, with Stephen Blacker at Stratton-on-the Fosse, Somerset; her occupation shown as "Spinner of Worsted". The children living with her were Menda Emblin (6), Pincot Emblin (4) and Charles Emblin (2). At later censuses the children were enumerated under the family name Blacker.
