Hi Sue

Just to confirm my previous mail.
The prisoners were transfered from London due to a Cholera outbreak.
Someone on our Local, Folkestone, Family History is researching them at Shorncliffe.
Unfortunately they are not quite ready to publish as it is part of a FH University course, but they will soon.

Hi Sue

My great great great grandfather was in Shorncliffe at the same time as Isaac. How exactly did you get the information about Isaac?

RSVP 

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve
Thanks to a previous reply from one of the members on here, (who are always so helpful) they posted a link to the National Archives, the actual register of convicts, and for a small payment, I downloaded the actual page of the register Isaac was listed on. If you look at the previous postings to my original query, you can copy the link.

Regards
