Re: Mary Lee, the convict! From convict records here in Australia it is 'known' that she was aged 18 on conviction, worked as a market woman, convicted of larceny from a shop, was not able to write, sentenced to death but commuted to transportation for life, arrived in Tasmania on 14th November 1818 on the vessel "Elizabeth Henrietta".  Not much to go on to help pinpoint her in England (Wales?) but that is the joy of tracking down these illusive ancestors ;D Thanks again. Judy

Wow! what a great offer. I'm searching for more information on an ancestor by the name of Mary Lee (Lea, Leigh) who was convicted in the Chester Session of Pleas, 27th August, 1817. She was transported to Australia. Is it possible to get transcripts of the court proceedings? I have no specific information on her prior to her conviction (i.e. date of birth, place of birth, parents, etc). Maybe you could direct me to other web sites or contacts. I'm not sure if this falls within your kind offer. Here's hoping.
