Octavius Ryland (c. 24 June 1800 – 8 May 1886) was a convict transported to Western Australia, who later became one of the colony's ex-convict school teachers.
By 1850, he was widowed with two children, and working either as a corn or coin dealer; these are alternative transcriptions of the handwritten records.
He was then transported to Western Australia, arriving at Fremantle on board the William Jardine on 1 August 1852.
He gained his ticket of leave on 4 October 1854, and received a conditional pardon on 21 January 1860.
He spent the final years of his life at the Mount Eliza Depot, a home for "old or incapable paupers", dying there on 8 May 1886.
