Please can anyone help with information about Henry Jackson who was transported to Australia in 1824. No nothing of his crime or family in England.

Hi Janet, There are several Henry Jacksons listed in the Colonial Secretaries Index at the NSW State Records on-line index. If you are sure he arrived in 1824, he is possibly Henry Jackson per Countess of Harcourt 1824 and he is listed as follows: Jul.31 1824 assigned to Messrs. J O'Brien & R H Browne of Illawarra Aug 19 1825 convict servant of William Lane - to be victualled from the stores at Bathurst for 6 months. You can check this on-line on the NSW State Records website - click on the Index bar then zoom down to the Colonial Secretaries Index (in alphabetical order). If you go to your local library you would be able to search the 1828 census and should find more info there. I hope this helps. Good luck with you search.

Hi Janet Have you checked the Indent for the "Countess of Harcourt" 1824 or the "Henry Wellesley" 1837. This Indent will tell you that Henry was tried at the Lancaster Quarter Sessions Court - and Rachael Atkinson at the Lancaster Assize. The Indent for the Countess of Harcourt in 1824 does not provide the crime details so you may have to contact the Lancaster County Record Office and the films of the AJCP for hulk reports. The Indent for the Henry Wellesley" does note the crimes for these girls and women and unfortunately her crime was attempting to murder her child. Are you still a member of the Casino Family History Group as they hold copies of the ARK series of microfiche. The Indent is the first place to look for information about convicts although it, in the majority of cases, will not provide you will family information. Follow that up with checking the various Muster, Census, Colonial Secretary Papers up to 1825, the Joan Reese Col. Sec. Index post 1825, the AGCI CD - NSW Government Gazettes (For Rachel), and the various newspapers that are now on-line..... to name just a few.
