Hi again Kerry I think my last reply ended up blank again! I'm using a new email programme and I think I must be doing something wrong! What I intended to say was I decided to contact the Assoc of Scottish Genealogists & Researchers because I felt that in this instance I was probably better to use someone who could actually access the original documents. I really don't know if I would have got quite as much information otherwise (not necessarily knowing exactly what to ask for). I ended up with a copy of every piece of paperwork concerned with my ancestor's crimes before and up to her transportation. The only extra cost on top of the charges that the Archives Office make for the copies and postage was the researcher's time, in my case, one hour.

That sounds very reasonable...I might investigate!
