Richard Ellem was sentenced to seven years transportation for stealing a plough beam worth threepence. He arrived in Sydney in 1818 aboard the Isabella. The ship's indent listed his occupation as labourer.
Richard and Charlotte Neale née Huxley lived together from about 1826 before marrying in 1842.
