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.

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 Thanks again. Judy

Hi Dotty

Would it be possible for a look up for baptism of William Wallwork born Tyldesley in 1781/1782.   He died 29 Dec 1857 in Hill Top, Walkden.  His 'wife' was called Mary, I haven't found a marriage yet.   A son, John Wallwork was born 1815/1815.  I've been unable to find any other children of William and Mary.

Thanks in advance

Barbara

Added  Recently found - William Wallwork SNR married Alice Jarrard  (possibly Gerrard) Deane By Bolton in 1772 (M005891) - then William s/o William and Alice was christened there in 1780 (P005891).

Hi Dotty a bit of info. we found out from Barbara's sc. hunt, there was no parish church in Tyldesley at that time so he would have been bp. nearby but from the parish of Tyldesley we have found one in Peel by Hutton but not convinced it is the same William maybe he was bp. at St Stephens  Astley or Leigh
