George Clarke (1806-1835) was the first son of comb-maker, William Clarke and Susanna, who lived in the town of Bewdley in Worcestershire. It is possible that as a youth Clarke had been a apprentice as a hairdresser, an occupation given in his earlier convict records; this could explain his nickname, 'George the Barber'. This traces George Clarke's history from his transportation in 1824 for robbery, through his escape from the Hunter valley and life with the Kamilaroi tribe, to his capture in 1831, subsequent imprisonment at Norfolk Island and death on the gallows in Van Diemen's Land.
