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… Edward de Louche 39 – Burglary and theft – 22 May 1844 – term of his life – has been confined in this prison eight times previous to this offence, once for swindling, five times for theft and twice for burglary. Convicted six times – six years in a life of crime – drunkard and bad character – parents dead. Has a brother bearing a bad character, low in life – married, no children – reads well, writes imperfectly – plasterer – good health." --00--
TRIAL: 22 May, 1844: Convicted at St Heliers and sentenced to transportation for life for burglary, in company with Thomas Mclocklin (aka Locklin) who received a term of 14 years' transportation (http://foundersandsurvivors.org/pubsearch/convict/chain/c33a33800052). Thomas Mclocklin was transported per Hyderabad. --0--
