  1. 12.  David NUNN was born on 15 Mar 1827 in Chevington, Suffolk, England, UK (son of Abraham NUNN and Martha GILBY); died on 10 Jan 1900 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia; was buried on 11 Jan 1900 in Ipswich Cemetery, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.

    • Occupation: Farmer
    • _FGRAVE: 180452342
    • Census: 1841, New Cottage, Chevington, Suffolk, England, UK
    • Census: 1851, Chevington, Suffolk, England, UK
    • _FNRL: 11 Jan 1900, Ipswich Cemetery, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia

    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.
