Isaac Sant 1852-
2010
To appreciate this man, Isaac Sant, one must read the summary about his father Abel Sant. Isaac was born in New South Wales in 1852 to Abel Sant and Ellen Smith. His father was brought to Australia on a convict ship from England. His crime was having a file in his lunchbox. At the time, England obtained its labor for the new colony by such deception. Abel sailed for Australia, leaving behind a wife and twelve children. His sentence called for him to work for three years but remain in the colony for an extra four years. He could not raise the money for his return passage. Abel didn’t see his wife in England or his children again in life.
Isaac was the child of Abel’s marriage to Ellen Smith, also a convict, if that is a fair word. Her crimes were also foolishness. We believe that Isaac was the only child of Abel and Ellen. Isaac married at an unknown time and became the father of a son named Herbert whose photograph is also on this site.
