Convict Notes
IN VDL: 14 November, 1848: Received a Ticket of Leave. 27 September, 1852: Certificate of Freedom granted (https://stors.tas.gov.au/CON33-1-86$init=CON33-1-86p136). --00--
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… George Le Masurier 30 – Burglary and theft – 30 March 1844 - 7 years – has been confined in prison six times previous to this offence, twice for theft and four times for ill treating people and insulting the police. Convicted three times – lived a life of crime for four years – idle, drunkard and bad character - married with three children, wife and family of indifferent character – Carpenter, reads and writes well – is tolerably well acquainted with the principles of religion and morality but has been led astray by bad company." --00--
