Hi Leslie, I'm hoping that since this site is about convicts it may also cover the trials that led them to being sent to the colonies. My convict BRENTNALLs, William and John, were transported as a result of hearings at the following sessions: C/QSM/1/41 Quarter session minutes of Nottinghamshire County Council, 1827-1830 CA/3265 Quarter session record book of Nottingham Borough, July 1829- January 1831 but to access details it looks like I will have to pay someone over there to look them up and copy and send. Do you know whether there is any other way of seeing them (without going there)? Many thanks, Jeanette

Jeanette: The Thoroton Society published journals that were relevant to Notts. in the 19th Century. I think that records of the Quarter Sessions were included in their publications. A look at the society's web page might be worth it Maurice Knight From: "Jeanette Brentnall" <junglebooks01@bigpond.com> To: <AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 1:01 PM Subject: [PJ] Nottingham Quarter Sessions > Hi Leslie, > I'm hoping that since this site is about convicts it may also cover > the trials that led them to being sent to the colonies. > > My convict BRENTNALLs, William and John, were transported as a result > of hearings at the following sessions: > > C/QSM/1/41 Quarter session minutes of Nottinghamshire County Council, > 1827-1830 > CA/3265 Quarter session record book of Nottingham Borough, July 1829- > January 1831 > > but to access details it looks like I will have to pay someone over > there to look them up and copy and send. > Do you know whether there is any other way of seeing them (without > going there)? > Many thanks, > > Jeanette > > > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Jeanette The only way to get a detailed record of the trial (if it exists) is to look up the trial records in England, see first site below. However you can find some brief details on AJCP reels held in various libraries in Australia, see second site below. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jdriver/news/ Transportations.html http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/navigators/convicts/trial_court_records/ index.html Once you have the date of the trial, there may be a report of the trial in a local newspaper in Nottingham (use google). cheers Grahame On 16/01/2009, at 8:01 AM, Jeanette Brentnall wrote: > Hi Leslie, > I'm hoping that since this site is about convicts it may also cover > the trials that led them to being sent to the colonies. > > My convict BRENTNALLs, William and John, were transported as a result > of hearings at the following sessions: > > C/QSM/1/41 Quarter session minutes of Nottinghamshire County Council, > 1827-1830 > CA/3265 Quarter session record book of Nottingham Borough, July 1829- > January 1831 > > but to access details it looks like I will have to pay someone over > there to look them up and copy and send. > Do you know whether there is any other way of seeing them (without > going there)? > Many thanks, > > Jeanette > > > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-PT- > JACKSON-CONVICTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
