Thank you Lesley and Grahame for your replies to my recent query regarding Thomas Blake. I apologise for taking so long to thank you both - my server has had problems. The fiche at my local library is quite marked at just the point I most wanted to read. I had hoped that the information re crimes committed would be included on the Indents in 1820. Thank you for your suggestion Grahame, I had sent emails to the 2 persons who had claimed Thomas Blake on Lesley's Claim a Convict site, the one who replied thought his crime might have been Burglary but did not mention the source. Regards, Marje
