Scotland / Convict Look up at the National Archives
« on: Tuesday 15 May 12 13:44 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am looking for a volunteer (or volunteers) who would be willing to look at about 10 convict files at the National Archives in Edinburgh. All I need really is a copy of the declaration made by the convict at the end of the file. I have all the references needed and can pass them on. I am writing a book on convicts who lived in a township in Tasmania and about ten came from Scotland. It would be a vast help if I could access these declarations as they provide valuable background on the trials and convictions.
Thank you for anyone who would like to help.
David Coad (Paris).

Catherine Spouse was the daughter of John Spouse and Catherine Smith.
I have more information on her background.

Does anyone know about Alexander jun. baptised in 1824? Did he join the 91st Regiment? He seems to be absent from the rest of the family in the 1851 census.
