Hello All I think some time ago someone posed the question "Did any convicts get transported for stealing the proverbial loaf of bread?" I have recently come across an Irish female convict transported on Earl Grey in 1849/1850 who stole bread and was transported for 7 years. Her sister was transported with her for receiving the bread. Of course, this was at the height of the great famine in Ireland.
