Hi,

I have managed to get on the site, but not able to see transcripts of trials. Is there a secret? Anybody been able to get to the actual trials so far?

Tom

I tried a few times over the course of yesterday, and eventually got to see them - I think the site is just a victim of its own success at the moment, and although the searches seem to work and throw up results,  you can't always view the results...just keep trying!

Tom, I just got on- had to be a bit imaginative with surname spelling but it is the convict I sought. He pinched 4 waistcoats in London in 1787- transportation and 7 yrs.
I got the transcript of the trial by clicking on the hyperlink when his name came up in the search results.  There is also an image that is a hyperlink that if clicked on takes you to the actual facsimile of the trial's record.

And thanks Su, for drawing this to our attention.
