Thanks for that Dobby.

He certainly looks a strong contender, - (& would explain his absence from later Censuses).

I will try & find the GRO Ref & order the Death Cert.

Hi Dotty,
Please If you could look up ...c1832 Samuel Schofield QSP/2957/152. Bill of prosecution. He was sent to Tasmania for stealing a coat.

Hello dotty,

how kind of you to do look ups for people.
I also would love a look up in the Lancashire Records Office if thats OK.

Now my G Grandparents Albert and Mary Isaac [nee Allen] had five children that I know of but my cousin did find a birth for a John Ernest Isaac registered in March 1872 at West Derby. [Their first born son George his birth was also registered at West Derby in 1870.]The volume number is 8b and the Page number is 303. My cousin is convinced he is also a child born to Albert and Mary.
This John Ernest Isaac unfortunately died we think,registered September 1873 at West Derby aged one. The volume number is 8b page number 230.
Could you check to see who the parents were for this John Ernest Isaac. Both the birth and the death if possible.
If you can`t find any records of this don`t worry.

  Regards Johngirl

Hi all, I am new to this forum.

I have Robert BUTLER alias Robert BROWN sentenced 5 March 1831 for life and transported to Tasmania. His convict indents here, say he was aged 20 years sentenced Lancaster and had previous convictions. I have been unable to find his birth however, his marriage in NSW states he was from Liverpool, England. I would be delighted if somebody could look up Bills of Prosecution for him.
Regards Rhonda3

Hi Dotty,

I have just read the first post to this forum and now, realise that it started with your offer to do Look-Ups. I would be pleased if you could Look-Up.Bills of Prosecution or newspaper report of Robert BUTLER'S court hearing.

Robert BUTLER alias Robert BROWN sentenced Lancaster 5 March 1831. I think he may have been sentenced to death and reprieved as, a newspaper clipping:

Preston Chronicle, Saturday, 2nd July 1831 list him:
Capital Convicts-The commuted sentences of the prisoners convicted at our last assizes (three months ago) were received only a few days since by Mr Higgins the keeper of the gaol and are as follows,viz-- Robert JAQUES, Robert BUTLER, otherwise Robert BROWN, William TRAVERS, James ANDERTON, Peter KENYON, John HALLWELL, and John GREENHALGH, severely found guilty of burglary.

Thank you Dotty.

Rhonda3.

Hi Rhonda
Unfortunately the QSP records don't reveal much other than the costs,occasionally there may be a clue of area possibly were the witnesses came from but no addresses.On other records[can't think what they are called at the moment]when the prisoner gets transported all it says isthe prisoners name and of which township.I will look for you but it will be the28th July before I go to the LRO again.
