Convict Notes
From the JERSEY ARCHIVE REGISTER (https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Transportation_Registers): "Details of many hundreds of those sent to UK prisons and their offences between 1844 and 1939 are contained in Royal Court Transportation Registers, now in storage at Jersey Archive. The title is perhaps a little confusing because transportation is generally understood to refer to those offenders sent to the Colonies - particularly Australia - to serve their sentences. It is clear that Jersey's registers do not just cover those who ended up on the other side of the world, because according to the Australian Convict Transportation Registers 1791 – 1868 held in the National Archives at Kew, only 69 prisoners were transported to Australia from Jersey. Of those 69 only three were women... Thomas Bowring 23 – burglary and theft – January 1844 – 14 years – married, no children – reads and writes well – painter – is well acquainted with the principles of religion and morality." --00--
TRIAL: 20 January, 1844: Convicted at St Helier's for burglary and theft (stealing 72 pounds from Mr Le Gally, Jersey) (http://foundersandsurvivors.org/pubsearch/convict/chain/ai06289). --0--
