Hi Dotty,
Document ref. no. DDCM 1/37 Lancashire Record office have looked up this document for me and sent me the information, which gives no more information only, that they were sentenced to the Term of Their Natural Lives.
Preston Chronicle, Saturday 2 July 1831, Issue 983. Capital Convicts- The commuted sentences of the prisoners capitally convicted at our last assizes (three months ago) were received only a few days ago by Mr. Higgin, the keeper of the gaol, and are as follows, viz-Robert Jaques, Robert Jaques, Robert Butler otherwise called Robert Brown, William Travis, James Anderton, Peter Kenyon, John Hallwell and John Greenhalgh, severally found guilty of burglary and sentenced to Transportation for life.
Dotty, I have the copy from the Preston Chronicle again, there is no mention of the town Robert Butler was from.
I must mention too, for those who don't know. If you are a resident of New South Wales, you can apply on line for a Readers Ticket for the New South Wales State Library. Your Readers Ticket will be posted to you, once it arrives you will have access to 18th and 19th Century British Newspapers this is how I obtained the copy.
Kind regards
Rhonda Newell.

Thank you Dotty, after 25 years of looking for this man, I don't mind waiting. I just hope the name of the town he was from, is mentioned.
Kind regards.

Hi Dotty,
I have just read the first post to this forum and now, realise that it started with your offer to do Look-Ups. I would be pleased if you could Look-Up.Bills of Prosecution or newspaper report of Robert BUTLER'S court hearing.
Robert BUTLER alias Robert BROWN sentenced Lancaster 5 March 1831. I think he may have been sentenced to death and reprieved as, a newspaper clipping:
Preston Chronicle, Saturday, 2nd July 1831 list him:
Capital Convicts-The commuted sentences of the prisoners convicted at our last assizes (three months ago) were received only a few days since by Mr Higgins the keeper of the gaol and are as follows,viz-- Robert JAQUES, Robert BUTLER, otherwise Robert BROWN, William TRAVERS, James ANDERTON, Peter KENYON, John HALLWELL, and John GREENHALGH, severely found guilty of burglary.
Thank you Dotty.

Hi all, I am new to this forum.
I have Robert BUTLER alias Robert BROWN sentenced 5 March 1831 for life and transported to Tasmania. His convict indents here, say he was aged 20 years sentenced Lancaster and had previous convictions. I have been unable to find his birth however, his marriage in NSW states he was from Liverpool, England. I would be delighted if somebody could look up Bills of Prosecution for him.
Regards Rhonda3
