Notes for John Roundhill (Spouse 1)
Assumption: There is no Duckering family, baptising children at Tealby during this period, other than Christopher and Sarah. Based on the fact that John's father is referred to as a 'labourer' and that his second name is Roundhill, which could be his mother's maiden name, which is Roundall. I am presuming that the spelling difference is due to an error in the records, as was the recoding of George born to a George and Hannah.

Lincolnshire 1826 (Certificate no.:) C13047 (awarded) Sunderland 1867 vol.4 1867-73; vol. 1874-77; vol 31 no voyages listed” Page 194 Index to the Captains Register of Lloyd’s of London: D (CLC/B/148/B/019/MS18567) London Metropolitan Archives, City of London.
1847. The Hull Packet and East Riding Times. January 28, 1848. Hull Police Court, Saturday before rhe mayor and Messrs Thompson and Hen wood. Caution to seamen. The next case was exactly similar to the last, being a claim for £5 extra, by Roundhill Duckering, the cook of the lian Rumney. In this case, mr Preston said he should be able to prove a distinct charge of desertion, which was the only reason that Mr Croft had refused to pay the £5. mr Hind contended that when a man came to this Court to seek that which was due to him, he ought not to be put on his trial for any offence. The bench decided that Mr Preston had a right to proceed. The plaintiff was then cautioned that whatever he might say would be taken down in writing, and might be used as evidence against him should be placed on his trial. He was then examined by Mr Preston, and stated that his name was Roundhill Duckering. The vessel he had sailed in before shipping on board the Lian Rumney, st St John’s, wa the Thoams and Elizabeth, of Biddeford. He declared, most distinctly, two or three times, that he had never sailed to St John’s, or anywhere elese, in a vessel called China. He said he was born at Tielby, in Lincolnshire, but did not know a place called Hemswell. Mr Preston then put in the articles of a ship called the China, in which was written the name of Roundhill Duckering, stated to have been born at Tielby. When these articles were shown to him he swore, positively, that the signature was not hie, althought at first he appeared to hesitate a little. several of the crew of the Lian Rumney were then called who stated, that after the plaintiff had shipped at St John’s on board the Lian Rumney, he had told them that he had come to St John’s from London in the China, which was then at St Joh’s. Mr Hind, in defence of the plaintiff stated that if the most flagrant case of desertion was proved to the satisfaction of the bench, it was no answwer to this man’s claim for wages. Moreover, to prove desertion, they must produce the logbook of the China where it was registered, and that eveidence would have to be supported either by the master or the mate. The magistrates said they were of opinion that in this case there was clear charge of desertion proved, and they would therefore dismiss the plaintiff’s claim. It would also be for the owners of the China to prosecute him for the desertion hereafter, if they thought fit to do so. Another charge wass then brought against the plaintiff by mr George Bentley, the clerk appointed to grant seamen’s certificates in this port, of obtaining a register ticket in a flse name. It appears that sincehe had left the Lian Rumney he had obtained a register ticket, and satted his name to be Roundhill Ducking, and not Duckering. Mr Hind contended that thi might have arisen from the seaman’s ignorance of letters, for he was no scholar. The bench remanded him until Wednesday, but allowed him to be set at liberty on finding bail. Just before leaving the dock the plaintiff inadvertently said his parents resided at Hemswell, although previously he had sworn that he did not know of such a place.
1869. Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, 2 July 1869. Bankrupt Owner. To the editor of the shipping and mercantile gazette. Sir, I joined the brig Egmont in January last, at Hull, by Telegram. I paid my passage and took command for Bordeaux, where I disbursed the ship and took in a cargo of pitwood for Newport. When I arrived there my articles had expired, and I paid my Crew off, to do which I had to draw on my Broker 81£ 11s 11d. I likewise put the ship inhis hands. I then cleared out for Southampton, where I took in ballast and came home. When I arrived in Sunderland I paid the steamer 2£ 13s 6d, and 11s 3d for Pilotage, and 13s for placing the ship under the ballast cranes, paying also the crew; and as the Owner alleged he was short of money, I advanced him 63 10s. When I apply for a settlement I find he is bankrupt, and is putting me off from time to time without any redress, which places me in a very perilous position. What is my best course to take? Yours, &.,c Sunderland, June 27, 1869 J Duckering.
