    Burial 11 Jan 1900  Ipswich Cemetery, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • David buried Ipswich Cemetery 11-1-1900. Rites by Rev S Wood. Burial No 006488

    Notes 
    • By the time he was 18, David Nunn had four convictions for poaching, according to the Bury Prison Register dated 23 Sep 1846.
      The fourth conviction earned him a fine of 20 shillings, costs 13 shillings. It's not clear if the 20 shillings included the costs but either way it was a substantial fine for "an offence against the Game Laws at Chevington".
      We can surmise that he may have been poaching to feed himself and other family members but whatever the truth, it was against the law and he was caught. The record describes David as 5ft 5ins, pale complexion, brown hair, grey eyes, long visage, of good health with clean clothes. He could not read or write.
      Four years later, it was reported in the Bury and Norwich Post on 16 April 1851, p2, in a list of convictions at Chevington that ... David Nunn and Wm. Death, offence against game laws at Chevington; 2 months.
      So, he spent time in jail for his misdeamours as well.

      1877 State Electoral roll (Ref no) 196 lists David Nunn land ownership in Ipswich Police District of Electoral District of Bundamba
