Don't worry Karen - what Tricia means is that she is going to remove your messsage with your email address so that you don't get people you don't want to hear from contacting you!!  A pm is a private message, which you can send by clicking on someone's name - you don't need to worry about that all now, as I have sent the email to your email address directly - speak to you from there.
Kind regards
Claire

This family has been so well researched.  I remember sending all the prison records to a lady in Australia...One COPPERWAIT escaped from the prison hulk at Woolwich and returned to Clifton where he was rearrested - he had lost an inch in height and went from a fresh complexion to sallow whilst awaiting transportation.

The trial records are at the National Archives in Kew - Bedford only has gaol records  :'(

Thanks so much Cathy - jolly gripping stuff!!  Do you know if Kew are able to provide copies of these records, and if they have someone to do the leg work for you............ I have a 2 year old, and live in Devon, so I'm having to pay for researchers left right and center!!
Kind regards

Postscript:

There is some information about the Clifton COPPERWAITs in the 1810s in a book called

'Samuel Whitbread's notebooks - see  http://www.bedfordshirehrs.org.uk/

They were very poor people in those days and I think the ones who were sent to Australia were the lucky ones!

Wonderful Cathy - will look out for that one!!  It is so sad when you are looking through all this poverty and hardship - you can't help thinking of what they would think of you and your life!!  It is true that we don't know we are born.  I have just found my first relative who managed to pull themselves out of poverty, and became a Tea Dealer then a Magistrate.  It is so wonderful to see someone had a life without such hardship!!
Kind regards
Claire
