John Cadman's Application to marry
Convict marriages had to be approved by the Governor if one or both of the participants were still serving their convict sentence. John Cadman was a coxswain of a government boat and lived in a stone cottage, which still bears his name, in The Rocks. Although this application to marry Mary Furlong was successful in 1818 the marriage may not have taken place. Cadman married Elizabeth Mortimer in 1830.
